SONY BRAVIA HD-FLAT SCREEN TELEVISION

We are very pleased with the Sony HD/TV. It arrived promptly, well packaged and works beautifully.
awesome picture in high definition 2008-03-19
I highly recommend this TV for high definition programs. I recently watched the 2001 Space Odyssey movie (rated the best high def movie this past year by Sound and Vision magazine) on the Universal high definition channel and the picture was awesome. One can see a lot of difference in the quality of the picture on different channels or different programs. Even the poorest quality programs look good using the 4:3 viewing mode. The TV can be adjusted to also show the lower definition 4:3 programs to completely cover the wide angle screen which cuts off some of the top and bottom of the 4:3 picture, but the picture does not look quite so good in that mode (cutting off the bottom of the picture does cut off or partially cuts off the stupid channel ID's that every channel seems to want to have to spoil the picture). There are many adjustments in contrast, color intensity etc. that can be made. For instance, the picture looks the best in the "vivid" mode rather than some of the other settings.
The sound is adequate on the small speakers, and probably typical of speakers supplied with most TVs. I also have the TV hooked up to an external amplifier connected to big external speakers so that the sound is great when listening to 5.1 channel DVDs.
What A Disappointment 
2008-02-29
I have always loved Sony televisions until now.I bought this KDL-32M3000 to test against a Philips 32"LCD.By the title of my review you probably have figured out how much I liked the Sony.I have analog cable which I know is not a very good test for a hi-def tv.The amazing thing is that the Philips picture looked "so much" better at the same cable connection.I just couldn't believe the difference.Analog stations on the Sony looked awful.The digital stations on the Sony looked better than Sony's analog but still not as good as the Philips.The Philips even beat the Sony on my DVD test using HDMI connections.I would definitly suggest that anyone looking to buy this set check out the Philips first.If you compare the two you will go with the Philips unless you're a die hard Sony fan.Do not assume that the Sony picture will be better than a Philips.It will not be as good.The Philips is listed a bit higher at $869 if you go to Best Buy.At Target however, the Philips everyday price of $699 is a great deal.The Sony lists closer to $800.The Philips has a better looking picture,better sound,plus some other features that the Sony doesn't have.The Philips has a swiveling panel,auto volume leveling,delta volume,and more.Philips 32" Widescreen LCD HDTV- 32PFL5332D/37

Good compromise entry level LCD television 
2007-11-27
It's my first LCD television. We looked at lots of them before deciding on this one. Ultimately, the Sony brand got us, due to our perceptions of long term reliability.
On the good side:
Pretty decent sound - it's amazing how tinny many 23" to 32" LCD televisions sound...far worse than the built-in sound of the entry-level RCA 17" CRT television this one is replacing. The only 32" we found with fuller sound was a Toshiba. Most were worse. Still, it's only two-star sound, but this is good for a 32" TV.
Very nice I/O complement. The only thing it's missing is USB ports, but those are hard to find in ANY 32" LCD. The included audio output connections would allow you to connect, for instance, a small 3-piece computer speaker system, which would be a HUGE improvement in sound.
Exceptionally wide viewing angle - if you can see the screen at all, the picture is as good as straight in front of it.
VERY easy to set up. I've helped other people set up their LCD TVs and none were as easy as this one.
Acoustically quiet. Some LCD TVs have a faint buzzing sound when powered up...not this one.
On the not-so-good side:
It stinks. Literally. For some reason, Sony plastics exude a very strong odor of processing chemicals. We found it necessary to put the thing in our garage for the first few months, just to avoid stinking up the house!
The picture, typical of Sony TVs is not very natural. It's over-bright and garish; you can tame this to some degree with the video settings. If you watch a lot of cartoons or movies with CGI, maybe you'll actually appreciate the excessive colors - particularly red.
Blossoming reds - we noticed that there's never any particularly good definition in red objects. However, in comparison to other TVs at the stores we visited, the focus and detail in other colors was superior.
When playing back non-HD material, particularly if using the S-VIDEO connector, there seems to be a higher than normal level of ghosting and graininess...more so than we noticed on our old TV. Maybe this is normal when you're moving up to a double-sized TV.
Price. At $800, it's not a bargain. But if you have faith in Sony quality, the price isn't bad.
Sony HDTV, 40 an 32 inch 2008-07-08
I've had this TV for about six months and like everything about it. Ordering through Amazon was a snap, shipping time quick and setup as advertised. We liked it so much that we ordered a smaller version for the bedroom. Would recommend it to anyone.
Great, simply great ! 2008-05-27
Just what I expected. Excelent product, no flaws. I recommend it.

Made in Mexico 2008-05-15
Overall I am very happy with this SONY. Great picture and easy to set up. I was however surprised to find out this TV is Made in Mexico. My fingers are crossed that it wasn't made on a Friday. We happen to live in Mexico a good part of the year and I am not a fan of electronics made there. Just as I am not a fan of American made autos.

Product arrived in a timely manner, worked perfectly and provided a great picture. My only regret is that I didn't get a larger one.
