Sony Bravia TVOutstanding TV. I would definately buy this again. Picture is fantastic and sound is really clear.
Matchless TV for Medium Size Room!
I bought this TV 2 years ago and have been very advantageous with it! It is HD 720p (actually 768 but the rating is 720)The picture quality is excellent. If you don't have HD programming, you don't wish to go with a 1080p TV, the picture quality will not be the greatest. The picture quality on this one is great with standard delimitation TV through Dish Network or AT&T Uverse. The picture quality of it when playing dvd's through our upconvert DVD player is great. The 32" Size is great for our purpose. The room we have it in is 19'x19' with the TV on top of the mantle. When we had our divan about 6' out from the wall in the back the screen size is perfect. When the couch is back against the wall it leaves us wishing we had one a undersized bit bigger as the writing in some of the on-sceen menu's for the TV service are a little harder to read. So if your TV will be more rapidly than 13-14' from where you sit, it is the perfect size.
The speakers on the TV are better than most flat screen TV speakers I have heard and I acquainted with to work at BestBuy so I have heard alot of them. It plays good high sound and even has a skimpy bit of bass without distorting. The sound quality is actually much better right around the half supply area and you can notice a significant difference in the quality between "vol.48-60" giving the best distinction. The sound fills our 19'x19' room pretty good. It's by far no surround tone but gives a good clear sound with no distortion.
Question Died After 1 Year
We have purchased Sony TV's for years. After 1 year and a month the undisturbed on this TV just suddenly died. Went thru all the menu settings to make sure everything was set aptly per owners manual and online support with Sony. End result is that I need to take TV in for service. In my opinion a TV that has a tough nut to crack this early is probably low quality. I will not spend money to get a repair because I do not trust the quality of the TV. Rather than, I will just use the cash I would have spent on repair toward the price of a new TV. Once I have a bad experience with a product I no longer buy it. No imperfect chances with me.
will die on you
My kinfolk and I have been buying Sony products for years, which is why this was the obvious choice when I needed a TV for my bedroom. The TV had no problems what so ever for the first year. But one day, 13 months after I had bought it (which is one month after the assurance expired) I turned on my TV to find vertical colorful stripes that would slowly appear on the screen. I talked to Sony, and all they could do was give me a bevy to a repair shop since my TV was no longer under warranty. It's very frustrating that they have no obligation to fix my defective set. I understand that most of the reviews here are lucky probably because it hasn't been over a year yet.
1080p sold as 720p. Your close in on, I'm serious. Sony forgot.
First of all, this TV DOES publicize 1080p images. It may be marketed as a 720p, but the manufacturer forgot to block the "display" stage set from telling you what kind of image is showing, which ranges from NTSC to 1080p. Just stress a newspapers the "display" button in the remote. So having said that, THIS TV IS AMAZING FOR THE PRICE. Thanks Sony.
I like this tv a lot. The essence quality is amazing when connected to my playstation 3. It still surprises me after a year of having it, since its almost like looking through a window into the games or pictures.
Games such as Bioshock, Dead Space, Dirt and movies such as Wall-e and the Watchmen look marvellous. Regular NTSC channels look like crap, since the tv enhances the detail so much you have to make some adjustments to "limber up it down".
You go to the "sharpness" and "noise" settings and adjust them. They won't adjust themselves. I put the sharpness to the lowest and noise setting to its highest and NTSC channels look fine.
It has 3 preset-adjustable picture settings: lucid, custom and standard.
The speakers deliver crisp sound, but obviously they don't have a bass impact. You will need to connect a separate set of speakers for powerful bass, but the tv's are powerful enough for a room and they capacity is loud at 30 where I usually have it. It goes up to a 100 but I've never used it once, don't need to.
It has an optical-out relations that you can connect to a theater sound system for crisp digital signal.
I don't know what the big deal with the felonious colors is, if they wash out or not. They're just black, and if you want blacker just adjust the joyfulness and the backlight settings. simple.
I did notice that the backlight leaks a little at the higher title corner when the screen is black, but is not a huge problem. You can adjust it.
I do have a problem with not being able to cast-off all the analog channels, and just keep the digital ones. You can't discard any channel for that matter, and they're all programmed together.
The favorist roster is pretty bad too. You can favorite 10 channels, but you can't organize them or delete the ones you already added. You by the skin of one's teeth sort of push them off the bottom of the list with a new channel which is pretty time consuming and stupid.
It has 2 HDMI inputs, and about 3 analog video inputs. 1 pc input which I sanctuary't used.
This TV doesn't have many features, aside from adjusting the colors. But again, its a Sony, and the picture quality is marked. If people want many secondary features, they probable should pay double the price and get the more expensive Sony.
I have yet to have a sony output break on me, and this tv will probably last several years, hopefuly.
