Date: 2008-08-05 Decent I love the look of the set it has a good picture and sound quality. It is a good price for the money. However I have noticed that it will give off a large static noises and popping sounds when over heated. This scares me. Date: 2008-08-01 Very disappointed! We have a Sharp 32" that we just love. I needed to replace a very old TV so I decided to buy the Sony because of the Sony name. I was sure it would be as good as the Sharp but boy have I been disappointed. 1. The picture is very grainy/ghostly and we can't get it to be better no matter how much we tweak it. 2. The TV/Satellite picture with the correct aspec ratio has only about a 19" view. When in full screen view, the aspec ratio has distorted picture. There are fewer view options to choose from than on the Sharp. I called Tech support and was told everything would be better next year when the stations start broadcasting 100% in HD. I watch TV more than I do DVD movies and if I had wanted a 19" television I would have bought one. Date: 2008-07-23 Love at first sight I recently got my Sony KDL-32L4000, The Amazon price was great, It saved me sales tax and time and gas to pick one up locally. The delivery by CEVA was prompt and on the due date. The Sony was taken out of the box and pluged in by the delivery man. Later I promgramed and did some set up. Using an old roof antenna I started to get up wards of 50 chanels most all chanels broadcast in one HD chanel so I get superb reception on those, The Sony upped my Converter box chanel count from 26 to 48 with the new Sony. The converter box I had gave a pretty poor picture with lots of fade out. This new Sony is like seeing TV for the first time, the picture is great!! So far my only quibble is that the menu info is a little small so it's hard to do programing. The LCD seems to work well and keep up with fast action, the picture is great, the sound quailty is good. As time goes along and I do some more set up it will only get better. If this TV lives up to the Sony quality reputation, I will enjoy this tv for a long , long time. It's better to upgrade to an LCD than get the converter as the old tube TVs don't seem to take the HD signals very well. I love my Sony!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No balony!!!! Amazon was great TOO!!!!! Date: 2008-07-19 Review of Sony Bravia 32" TV It is a very good television. It does everything I would want a television to do. What more can you ask? Date: 2008-07-17 Great display and ATSC tuner; good sound I recently purchased this item from another vendor. Picture quality is very good to my eyes. The blacks are black, not washed out as on, say, a Westinghouse lvm37-w3. Sound from the built-in speakers is good, but nothing to compare with external amplified speakers. The built-in ATSC tuner does a great job. Setting up the channel list was easy and took only a couple of minutes, but I do wish there were an obvious way to skip analog channels during setup. I don't have cable and didn't want to include any analog channels in the channel list. Since they were automatically identified, I had to manually hide them once channel setup was complete. Of course, it will be easy to skip analog over-the-air channels after February 2009 :) I wanted to set up a laptop with a TV tuner, for use as a DVR. It was easy to connect to the Sony. I'm using a MacBook, so for the video connection I used a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter connected to a DVI-D to HDMI cable. For audio I used a 3.5mm male to 2 RCA-type male audio y-cable. With the cables connected and the TV turned on, the MacBook recognized the display and automatically configured it to 1280x720 resolution, without so much as popping up a preference pane. The owner's manual warns not to connect a PC to the HDMI ports, and to use the RGB IN port instead; I'm not sure why, or whether this is specific to PCs with VGA video-out ports. Given the MacBook's Mini-DVI video port, I guessed the warning didn't apply to it. Pros: * Very good picture quality * Good ATSC tuner * Plays well with computers Cons: * No obvious way to skip analog over-the-air channels during channel setup
