Nearly Perfect I have owned this television now for approximately 8 months, and have owned the 46" version for nearly 6. My only regret is that there isn't a 50+ incher to add to my collection of these televisions. In this confusing day of Full HD (1080p) versus 1080i versus 720p (which is what these televisions are), there is a lot of hype. Trust me when I say its just that. At the sizes this television is available, 32", 40", and 46", only a bird of prey will be able to discern a difference in picture qualit...

Sony Bravia 32" TV Good product. I have some concerns about picture quality with cable, but my converter box only allows a coax connection from the converter box to my TV, so that could be the limitation on picture quality. The DVD quality is much better and I have not purchased an HDMI cable yet. I am curious to see how much that improves the picture quality.

Sony Bravia Flat Panel LCD HDTV Comparing the picture on this Sony to others side-by-side in stores made this an easy choice - and Amazon's price and free shipping sealed it for me. Setup was straight-forward. Only complaint is I'm having trouble finding the proper picture brightness setting - but its easy to adjust. I'm used to setting it and never touching it again - but with this set - perhaps its just HD - I need to tweak when I change channels sometimes.

Great Experience, Good TV. Very happy Tv arrived within 5 business days of shipping. DLS unpacked and checked operation. No problems. Outstanding picture in High Def mode and good with my DVD player. However, be aware that analog channels don't upconvert very well and aren't so good. I was aware of this based on a review i had seen prior to purchase. LCD viewing angle is great. I'm very happy with the whole purchase experience and am pleased with the Product performance.

I love this TV. I read the reviews here and on the Avsforum. I did the research and decided to buy this tv or the XBR1 32". Wow. Everything is perfect. This cheaper model offered by Sony is definitely not cheaper in any way. I had bought a Philips 32" LCD hdtv a few months ago and promptly returned it because anything on standard definition looked like crap. On the other hand, standard definition is excellent on this TV and hdtv is simply amazing. I'm using Tv with analog cable, playstation 2 on component cable...

A great unit at a good price Sony products are occasionally overpriced, but, nearly always, higher quality than competitive offerings. At this price (purchased @ $1314 around October, 2006), this was an even better value. Every output and input you could imagine + a resolution that is unbeatable, including darker pitches. Nicely done, Sony. Well-priced, Amazon.

great for over the airwaves reception The Sony Bravia 32" is our first HD TV. We're simple people that hate dealing with alot of high-tech gadgets. No cable or dish, we aren't gamers. We just like watching what comes over the airwaves via my old rabbit ears antenna. We had an 18 year old VCR hooked up the old TV and decided to take the plunge and get a DVD as well.
The Bravia arrived and set-up was a breeze. I pulled it out of the box, plugged in the power cord and transferred the VCR cable from the old TV to thi...

Disappointed customer When we received the television, the stand was bent, therefore the television was leaning forward. When we called sony to fix the problem under the in home warranty; we were told that it was damaged during shipping and that we would have to pay to have the part replaced. When we called amazon for the second time, we were told that we had to wait to receive an e-mail from the electronics department to see what they could do. This entire process has been very disapointing. After waiting over ...

Beware of Sony's HDMI One of the attractions of this set is HDMI (High Def Module Interface). HDMI is currently defined as a single cable the transmits both Video and Audio. A very clean installation, via a single cable. However for Sony, for this set, you need a cable with a HDMI end that connects to the cable box, that then goes to a DVI connector (video only) on the Sony LCD, and THEN a separate audio cable. What a pain in the %#@%$#. Therefore no Digital Audio.

Aspect feature undocumented limitation Excellent set overall, but one misleading entry is in the manual which the factory confirmed to me is partly mistaken. The "wide zoom" feature for aspect control, magnifying etc., is shown with a separate panel entirely devoted to features applicable to high definition, wide screen sources. The manual fails to mention these functions work only on broadcast or cable tuner reception, and are not available on any external input, HDMI or component video -- such as a Sony high definition recorder f...

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 ...

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...

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...

SONY is Quality Great TV, many input options. -1 STAR for having to cycle through 8 input to get from my TiVo, to XBOX to 360, etc. There should be direct access to inputs as on my 23" SONY or the ability to turn unused inputs off. Also the panel could be nicer looking. I like Black TV's, but it's well made. All in all it's really nice and amazon.com got it to me cheaper then anyone could.

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...

Sony cheezes out to reduce price and still make more profit Picture very good on digital, analog channels are terrible, simple setup, simple remote to understand, picks up some Comcast digital and HD channels, but a number of digital channels have no audio ( probably a Comcast problem), excellent bedroom television, and excellent price from Amazon. Definite negatives include: no lights and no favorite button on remote, and no cable card plug in. Will be an excellent television when Comcast goes all digital. Would I buy it again? You bet.

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...

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...

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 ...

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.
