My Bravia Buying Experience This is my second 32" LCD television in one month (returned the first one). Am writing this review because I read some really good ones on this site - both favourable as well as very unfavourable. So here it goes:
Rating: I have given 5 stars as all my expectations were met.
Purchase: From Amazon - Decision was easy because of the price. Shipping was free. Missed a free wall mount offer by just a couple of hours. Nearly $400 less than the Circuitcity price for the same ...

Gamer and HD Fan I purchased this set after a lot of research online and in various stores, and a lot of penny pinching. I am more than happy to own this set.
First off, it's refresh rate is perfect for fast motion items, such as sports and almost any videogame: there is no lag in what you're doing on the game pad and what you see on the screen. Many HD's have a "ghosting" effect where an image moving across screen leaves a bit of a trail in it's wake. This TV doesn't have that problem. I'm runn...

A worthy set for anyone After my 4-year old 32" Hitachi plasma set was toasted with some serious burn-in issues, I hit the books and the stores to see what was out there for a replacement set.
LCD TVs have come a long way, and panel sizes keep getting larger with each passing year. I decided on a direct-view LCD TV because of the aesthetics and good experience with a Sony KLV-23M1 23" LCD set I purchased last year.
The TV itself looks pretty slick and should blend in with any decor. The bezel ...

Video Inputs... The Good: Great TV, the HD picture is amazing! I am slightly disappointed with the analog picture and the odd refresh "black out" when switching between HD channels and analog. This could be normal, but it is a little distracting. The HD picture makes up for any issues I have with the analog.
The Confusing: The manual leaves much to be desired and has little information. It took me several days of watching a sub-par picture to realize that I had to put the TV on the Vid...

Pros and Cons Pros: Stunning HD picture, Nice design and styling, easy to set up and use, separate HD tuner if you just want to use an antennae instead of cable, easy to navigate onscreen menu to adjust settings. I like the remote because of its simplicity (others may not), but am using a universal Harmony remote to control all my devices (the Harmony remote is great).
Cons: Analog picture on the lower-end or non-digital channels is mediocre as other reviewers have stated. Keep in mind that the m...

Developed Picture Problems after 5 Months This is the fourth Sony television that I have owned. Currently, we have a 57 inch XBR CRT Rear Projector in the home theater room, a 36 Trinitron direct view CRT in the living room, and most recently the 32 inch Bravia (subject of this review) in the master bedroom. We also recently purchased a brand new Sony T9 Cybershot camera. I have also purchased three Sony camcorders over the years. The point of the aforementioned is that Sony has always delivered quality electronics and I have stayed...

Excellent HDTV, Excellent Price Originally I was going to purchase a Sharp Aquous, but after seeing the Sony KDL32S2000 side-by-side with the Sharp, there was no question for me, I liked the Sony better. More vivid colors, and much better blacks. Amazon had a great price, with free shipping and no sales tax. TV arrived in great shape via UPS. I have cable and the analog and digital channels all look very, very good. Very pleased with TV. I now have two Sony HDTV's (the other is an SXRD), and am very pleased with both. S...

Fair TV, Poor Shipping by Amazon We have several of the Sony Bravia TV's around our home. I have the 26" Bravia in my home office and its a very good TV. We are limited to an average cable signal strength and I've always known that our TV images could be better. We bumped up to the 32" Bravia to put in an exercise room hoping the "nicer" TV would give us reason to spend time exercising.
We had the option to buy from J&R or Amazon. Both offered the same price after shipping was accounted for but Amazon offered a fu...

Great HD picture, Poor Analog/Digital picture, Poor Amazon service This TV looks great on all of the high definition channels. However, it will give you a headache watching all of the other channels. I decided to return the TV after 1 week of having it, and found out that Amazon will not accept returns on TV's under any condition when larger than 27 in. Sony will not make good on the return either. Read the Amazon fine print carefully, and make sure you look at this TV on an Analog and/or Digital channel (the vast majority of cable channels) in the store pr...

Awesome TV Great out of the box performance. Set up was easy. Sound is awesome as is ease of use. Haven't figured out all the gizmoes yet but, I'm a 64 year old techniphobe. I guess I need a teenager from the neighborhood to help me program all of the features.
