34-inch widescreen HD CRT released by Sony in 2004. This model contains Sony's SFP (Super Fine Pitch) Trinitron tube, which delivers greatly improved picture detail. It also has a digital ATSC tuner for receiving modern television broadcasts.
By default, this TV introduces input lag at all input resolutions. However, by setting "HDPT" to 0 in the service menu, 1080i and 540p signals are internally switched to bypass the digital scaling circuitry. This results in zero input lag for 1080i and 540p signals only.
The standard version of this TV features an anti-glare sheet on the tube. This can be removed if it is scratched/damaged. There is also another version of this TV, model KD-34XBR960N, which did not come with the anti-glare sheet from the factory.
Concurrently with the KD-34XBR960, Sony released the XS955 series (KD-30XS955, KD-34XS955, and KD-36XS955). These have a similar appearance and also use SFP tubes, but have fewer bells and whistles in their menu system.
Sony introduced a revised version of the DA-4 chassis in mid 2005, and issued a new service manual for the KV-30XS955 and KD-34XS955 with a specified serial number range to differentiate from the original version. However, the KD-34XBR960 was not included in this revised service manual. It did continue production through at least January 2006, and the serial number format did change for late model units. It is unclear if the KD-34XBR960 ever changed to the revised DA-4 chassis or not. Testing/inspection of a late model unit is needed to verify.
