Date: 2008-09-01 JUST GET IT. I was looking for a flat-screen for quite some time. I only use this TV for my XBOX 360 and display it at 720p and it looks... beautiful. I can't believe I own it, actually. I paid $650 (not including tax) at my local computer store. I am surprised there was no hitch. I've played on TV's that have a bad refresh rate, and for gaming, that's a deal-breaker, and this has no "image residuals." I can't testify to how it looks with cable, or blue-ray, but with my 360 of which I play graphic intensive games, it's pretty much perfect. Setting up the stand is easy too you just screw in the bolts and you're done. Doesn't come with a coaxial cable (for cable). I might still hook this up to my laptop for an external monitor deal, but am in no rush to do it, but it is possible and one of the reasons I bought it. Samsung is good, a few other good makers out there, this one's right there with them. Sleek looking too. Date: 2008-08-29 I am amazed! Far better picture than any of the other 6 Tv's in my home.. I am quite happy with my purchase. Thinking of repalacing a few of the other ones with a new bravia.. Big JIm Miller Date: 2008-08-15 FANTASTIC COMPUTER MONITER Using this a a moniter for my Dell XPS computer. Truly Awesome, use PC setting #2 for an absolutily clear picture Date: 2008-08-15 all around grade A The white glove delivery was flawless, with the TV placed in the spot I desired, started up and tested, trash removed and "thank you". The picture is excellent and all the features work very well. This was a delightful purchasing experience in all ways. "atta boy" to Amazon and Sony. Date: 2008-08-09 The choice was easy for me... WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR: Cheap-ish 32" widescreen with a flat-black cabinet for my bedroom. I already have a 32" Viewsonic in the other room. Although that was about $150 less, it shows. I wanted something one notch up. Plus, my experience with reliability and service was a nightmare with the Viewsonic. WHAT I GOT: Let me start by saying I can't understand for the life of me why 90% of TVs today have glossy black cabinets. Isn't the last thing you want near or on your TV something shiny or reflective? Stupid fashion statement. Maybe it's just me, but I'm more busy looking at what's inside of the rectangle- not outside of it. So this pretty much narrowed it down to this TV alone. Amazon had a killer deal on the Samsung LN32A450 when I bought the Sony, and wherever you look it says the Samsung has a better picture. And when I saw the two at a store I would have to agree- just by a bit. But that shiny glossy cabinet was the deal breaker for me. Again- I just don't get it. The Sony is all I want it to be- and a little bit more. Very good picture, a cabinet that doesn't shout for attention, decent menus, logical input menu, etc. The channel switching is a tad slower than past Sony's I've owned, but still not nearly as slow as various Philips, Magnavoxs, Viewsonics, etc. that I've used. The unexpected bonus was after connecting it to my standard (not digital) Comcast cable, I noticed that I can pick up local HD channels. This is something I was not able to do with my Viewsonic. Perfect for the Olympics!!! Not ready for a bigger cable bill, my intention for this TV was just to watch DVDs in WS and the rest in 4:3. This was a nice surprise! The bottom line is I doubt you will find a better TV all-around for this kind of money. Unless you're a hard core videophile who spends a lot of time with calibration discs and watching reference material looking for shadows and artifacts, you will not be disappointed with this set. And if you are, go ahead and spend 50% more you lucky guy/gal! And if you're considering lesser brand names to save $100 or so, I would say save up a bit and move one step up. You'll probably own the TV for another 6-8 years so think how little that is per year.
