It's particularly fancy for its age and size, with stereo speakers and A/V input. I REALLY want it home, more than anything because I'm itching to clean it out and make it look new again. I still have yet to do anything beyond power testing and viewing snow. :P
It's probably the most expensive 13" set ever made.
I picked one up from the ward yard a few years ago, that must be the next model down. A model KV13FS100, stereo audio and component video input.
It's really large for a 13" set.

I think I remember the set. Did it have large speakers sticking
off the sides like ears ?? The EXR series I remember were 25"
sets. The 13" ( & 19") I am thinking about wasnt rare. I will look tomorrow
& see if I got the manual for it & comment if I do.

I have both the KV-13FS100 (part of my 'Power Wagon' mobile video gaming setup) and its less common pearl white twin, the KV-13FS110. These sets were made about 2003, and came much later than the KV-13EXR90, which I believe was made in the mid-90s. Those little FS sets are every bit the tiny version of the big XBRs, with just about everything except HD. They have a fantastic component video picture, and really are the Cadillac of 13" sets!

And yes Zeno, the 13EXR did have the 'ear' speakers, I believe!

Yours is a much later WEGA series set the EXR sets were abt 10 yrs earlier
IIRC. Damn good set. For us the big seller in the WEGA line
was the 24", a nice size. Never got a full order of them &
would run out in 2-3 wks & have to wait for the next build.
