A fair entry-level 1080p TV (UPDATED - Again)
This review is from: Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S5100 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics) I AM UNABLE TO EDIT MY STAR RATING OR I WOULD DOWNGRADE IT TO TWO, MAYBE THREE STARS!!!I bought this for my bedroom last week and am pretty happy with it. I have a 40" XBR2 in the family room and this model's picture is surprisingly comparable. I bought it through Amazon for MUCH less than BB or Sears. I do have a couple issues that prevent me from giving it five stars: ...

No Dolby Digital 5.1 audio ouput
This review is from: Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S5100 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics) Picture wise, this TV has been good/great. I've had it now for a week and the picture is superbly better than the two year old Samsung 32" LCD it replaced. I did update the firmware but I still notice the contrast shift at times. However, the one glaring issue with this TV (and all Sony KDL-xxS5100 sets as I've found) is the lack of Dolby Digital 5.1 audio output. Ye...

STOP! STOP! STOP! Serious Audio Issues. Recall?
This review is from: Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S5100 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics) I love Sony TV's. They have always had a superior product but this time, this set is highly flawed and Sony is doing its best to still sell the inventory left at lower prices leaving you with an item to return or to tolerate.The audio is DEFECTIVE on units dated thru AUG 2009. The sound bar on the screen will reflect this distortion on level 1-3. Beyond 3 and up, the ...

Unhappy with sound
This review is from: Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S5100 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics) I had the exact same problem as Vinnie A. I had the KDL-32S5100 in my bedroom and the sound at low levels on this TV is horrible. Multiple inputs HDMI, DVD player and Fios all sounded great on other TVs but this set made low level sound full of static. I replaced my TV with Sony support and the same exact problem! I now have 2 TVs to return that has become a major pain because s...

2 Replacements, Various Critical Problems
This review is from: Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S5100 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics) (I urge you to read this review before making a purchase, I know I wrote a lot, but they outline some very critical deal-breaking issues.)My first HDtv, a Sylvania broke about after 2 years, and I decided to get this Sony after doing a bunch of HDtv research. I'm using the HD capabilities for gaming (Playstation 3 at 1080p, Wii at 480p) and just getting a regular coaxia...

KDL-32S5100
This review is from: Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S5100 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics) "I will rate this product on three parameters:1. How you use the product: From the outer looks at a first glance you may not like that much. As compared to other makers and even other lower model from Sony, this one looks much dull. I like the grill design of even the lower model 32L4000. Glossy touch on the outer frame adds a little shine to the frame, other wise it wou...

Glare is intolerable
This review is from: Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S5100 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics) A major disappointment is the reflective quality of the screen. Our room has high amount of light due to a wall of windows, but the JVC this tv is replacing did not have this issue. After an afternoon of getting it hooked up, it is going back in the box for a return.Update: I did return this model and replaced it with the more expensive XBR model which, despite what a...

Awesome Right Out Of The Box!
This review is from: Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S5100 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics) I just bought this TV (3/18/09) and I am still playing with it. It cost me $799 for the TV, $840 after taxes, $910 after purchasing 2 year purchase protection. I just love it! The colors are great, the sound is awesome, the sharpness incredible! Easy to hook up to HD cable box, nothing to get it into the table top stand. The HD channels look so real! I am so glad I purchased t...

Very good sounding HDTV
This review is from: Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S5100 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics) I got this TV for a bedroom and wanted something that sounded good because I was not going to put a sound system with it. Many of the flat panel TVs sound so tinny.
