This is our first LCD tv and we are blown away with how great this tv is! The picture is great, the colors are superb and the sound is excellent. Setup was a breeze which we appreciated as we are newbies to this type tv. We also love the fact that it is so light and so easy to move around. We would happily recommend this tv to one and all. Sony BRAVIA KDL32BX420 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black
The SONY KBL32BX450 with high definition 1080p is an entry level model with outstanding picture quality. This is a highly recommended HDTV for you.
I had researched purchasing HDTV for the bedroom and the SONY is better than the rest (LG, SAMSUNG, PANASONIC and budget models). You pay more for the SONY but you getting a SONY. It is worth the difference. Do not compromise.
This is a new 2011 model with basic features. There is no Wifi, this is 60Hz and is not an LED TV (however picture quality compares to LED sets). There are only two HDMI ports that may not be enough for some people. The only "complaint" is the sound quality. You will need to adjust the bass/treble and use the equalizer in Custom Mode. It is the same issue that flat screen sets just don't have great speakers. Regardless, this is an excellent television.
There are enough settings with options to calibrate and customize the picture to your liking. It is best to disable the ambient light sensor that restricts the brightness and vivid contrast of the picture. Once calibrated, the picture is awesome. The fleshtones are realistic. There is abundant contrast with the blacks are coal black and whites are bright white. The colors are vivid and vibrant. The set will require picture adjustment and calibration out of the box. Motion blur is almost non-existant for a 60Hz set.
The features and specs of this set are well documented. You have a USB port to view pictures and videos.
If you are very budget conscience then consider the SONY 720p model KDL32BX320. This is also a great set but you don't pay for the Full HD. If you won't do gaming or watch BluRay then this may be for you. If you are looking to install in your living room then look for a SONY with a larger screen.
I purchased this from a store with special grand opening sale but wanted to post review for Amazon folks. I would typically buy from Amazon.
first impression is very positive.the tv has nice black levels which lead to high contrast, colors are accurate and sound is acceptable.this is an entry level 1080p tv, so not many bells and whistles-usb port-not as useful as samsungs and lg's,will only play flash or portable hard drive formatted in fat32-very limited format-codecs support is almost nill.why does sony have to make these features so limited when the competition is much advanced(samsung, lg).first tv had quality control issues with display-half the screen was nice and white while other half was a dirty white.you could also see specs of dust throughout the screen(in the screen,not on)returned for exchange.second tv had backlight bleed which was unacceptable waiting for replacement.kudos to amazon-best web retailer period-gave me $75.00 credit for the hassles with tv.mind you this tv has quite impresive picture, hd is flawless colors nice and saturated not overkill again black levels nice and deep most likely better than more expensive models.sony and samsung use same s-pva panels but i don't think sony plays the panel lottery-positive thing-so you will always get quality panel.light bleed and dirty panel is assembly issue not panel quality.highy recommended if you get one with no issues
The sony bravia is a great television.To me sony makes the best eletronics in the world.it allows me to sync music,videos,and pictures. The Sony Bravia is a remarkable television when hdmi is connected its seems like ur really there.It has great sound and the green aspect of the television is off the charts great setting.it makes watching football like ur on the 50 yard line with the players.
We love our new Sony. While we are no TV Gurus but we know what we like. The picture is perfect to us. Great price for a Sony. If you are in the market for a 32" LCD TV don't hesitate to buy this one.
Easy to set up, get an hdtv antennae and you are cable and monthly cost free! Sure I don't get as many stations, but watch other stuff online on my computer. Great quality for a low price! The directions for installing the base were a bit confusing, as they had more than one model on it and didn't specify which one was for this Brava. But being sort of techie I figured it out, and it's playing right now. Nice sound too! Great tv size for my small studio!
This is my first flat screen HD TV I live in a very small 500 square foot house so the 32 inch was big enough to clearly see from anywhere but the shower, and not knowing but what I have read about them I am absolutely blown away with the ease of hook up and the fantastic picture on this model. I took it out of the box mounted it on the wall hooked the HDMI, cable given to me by my cable company plugged it in turned it on and enjoyed !!! I tinkered with the color,contrast etc. and found the factory settings to be excellent!I would buy again if I had the need and the price was good for the others that I looked at and after all it is a Sony !! great TV !!!!
My old TV had a jack in front where I could plug in my wireless headphones transmitter. I almost gave up trying to find a HDTV where I could do this until I found this Sony. This TV doesn't have a jack in front but it does have analog stereo outputs (RCA - red and white) in the back which I can use just as well to hook up my phones. Works perfectly. The same outputs can also be used to connect the TV to a stereo system or active speakers so you can have a nice big sound. Very pleased with the TV's picture too. - 120hz - Bravia'
