Hi everybody.
A relative overseas has requested that I get him a Sony WEGA TV when I move over there (Jan 2002). He says that High-Definition TV broadcasting is something far enough into the future there that the HD-ready models would be useless for now. Can somebody briefly explain the different model series and their characteristics?? I'm thinking about 36" and not HD-ready...So far, from the Sony website I've found:

KV-36 FS12 ($1699.99)
KV-36 FS16 ($1799.99)
KV-36 FV16 ($1999.99)
KV-36 FV26 ($2099.99)

These seem to be the 36" models that aren't HD-ready. There was a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo that I couldn't understand. I know there are a lot of users and enthusiasts with a lot of knowledge on these machines. Can somebody compare these models in layman terms?? FYI, the TV will be used mostly for TV and DVD watching (probably non-progressive player).

thanks
