Awesome January 7, 2009 The picture quality is awesome on hd channels and really spectacular when coupled with a blu ray player and action movies.
Bravo Bravia & Amazon January 6, 2009 After research, I bought 2 32" Bravias. They exceed my expectations and the purchase/delivery from Amazon was also great.
terrific! January 6, 2009 I teamed this TV up with TIVO HDXL and it is an unbeatable combo! This is my first experience with HD and I'm so glad I held out to get the Sony. Recommend it highly.
great hd, good sd, decent black levels January 2, 2009 i own this tv for bedroom. Hd looks wobderful, Sd is ok, in comparision on samsung ln32a550, samsung offers better standard def processing but i bought kdl-32xbr6 for HD content it is better on xbr6 so i rated it 5 stars. black levels are decent for this size lcd tv, i would say one of the best black levels in this size segment.
Perfect 5 stars December 31, 2008 I bought this for $879 on 12-02-08. The price went up to $898.99 when I got my invoice and now more then 3 weeks later Amazon lists it at $949.97 (12-30-08) Kinda confusing. I thought prices would be going down! The price I paid was STILL $400+ cheaper then at Best Buy & Frys Electronics!! ($1,200+tax) here in the San Fernando valley near Los Angeles
The Sony picture is perfect. No complaints at all about it. You can create a custom picture you like or go with the defaults. Under Options> Picture Adjustments there are many settings you can adjust. I bought the 32" model because it is the equalivilant of the 26" tube tv's in height. TV uses 160 watts. The speakers are very good. 0-100 and I set the volume at 20 or so. 100 is very loud. Plenty of connections to hookup more speakers.
The tv has a built-in tuner so you don't need a cable box if you don't want one. The Sony has Coax, RCA, S-video and 4 HDMI connections. I bought a 3ft $25 HDMI cable that hooks up to my cable box. Others will insist that you get those expensive ones at $100+ while others say you only need the $5 ones.
You can view 480-720-1080 resolutions. The high def channels at 1080 will make you think you are there in person when the show has been filmed well. See the Travel channel and National Geographic and Discovery etc. I swear I could reachout and hit Paulie and Mikey and old man Teutul on 'American Chopper' : )
The 480 resolution looks better then any tube tv. The 720 better and the 1080 is what I wish all tv channels were like. Easily switch between inputs like your cable box or the vcr/dvd player. Push the Input button on the remote or top of tv and select the one you want. You can tell which has a connection because it has an arrow next to it.
The remote is lightweight. Just wish the Mute button was larger since I use it a lot. If you are using a cable box you will use their remote.
The tv channels switch quickly when you have the coax plugged directly into the tv. If you use a cable box and a HDMI cable however there will be a 1-2 second delay as you change channels due to that $#@!&%! DRM (digital rights management) that checks if you are looking at copyright material. It slows the changing of channels way too much. It is the cable box that is slow and not the tv set.
A workaround is to use the RCA connection. The picture will be dumb down to 720 or 480 due to hollywood.
I will buy a Sony later on in the 42" or larger range when I move. The 32" is just right for my place.
