Looking for an HDTV, but disappointed by LCD’s poor image quality and plasma’s high cost? Well, look no further… this Sony KD-34XBR2 34” widescreen tube HDTV is for you!
What’s that… tube? YES TUBE! The flat-faced Wega tube offers outstanding picture quality with viewing angles and rich blacks that LCD can only DREAM OF! 1080i? 720p? 480i? IT DOESN’T MATTER… it’s a TUBE! It can change scan rate and give you a clear image no matter what source you throw at it — not like those lousy fixed-resolution LCDs that have to glom pixels together! Plain old DVD? NICE! Blu-ray? BEAUTIFUL! Law & Order reruns from your VCR? NOT TOO SHABBY!
Confused by HDMI versions and firmware updates for encrypted content protection? You’re in luck! This TV has NONE OF THAT! No HDMI, no DVI… not even VGA! But it DOES have two component and four composite video inputs and optical audio out as well as two IEEE 1394 (iLink/Firewire) ports that are just as USELESS now as the day the set was made!
The KD-34XBR2 is also one of the rare TVs from its era to include a digital tuner, so it’s ready to go TODAY plucking FREE HD PROGRAMMING from the very AIR around us with nothing more than RABBIT EARS! Amazing! It’s almost as if this TV KNEW nine years ago that analog broadcasts would go the way of the dodo! DARE you have this DIGITAL NOSTRADAMUS in your LIVING ROOM?!
Thinking of popping the KD-34XBR2 in your Prius and setting it up on a TV tray in your third floor apartment? HA! No way! IT’S A TUBE! Two hundred and five pounds of glorious glass that’ll need two people of reasonable strength and an SUV/van/truck of reasonable size just to GET IT OUT THE DOOR! That wonderful picture comes at a COST, but once you’ve hauled it off and found a structurally sound location to put it, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it for YEARS, just as I have.
What does $205 get you?
- The Sony KD-34XBR2, originally purchased November 2001 (for $4,100 — CAN YOU BELIEVE IT), in pristine condition.
- A remote control, in passable condition but fully functional.
- A MANUAL.
- The original box and packaging, which will make hauling it up to your third floor apartment that much easier.
Don’t take my word for it… just LOOK at that photo! Mr. Potato Head* is STUNNED that such an amazing specimen of QUALITY VIDEO TECHNOLOGY can be HAD FOR SO LITTLE!
Contact Rob and let’s make this entertainment behemoth yours.

P.S. Seriously, what’s with LCD? Color me unimpressed.
