Great TV for Medium Size Room! June 14, 2010
J. Ross (Jackson, TN)
I bought this TV 2 years ago and have been very happy 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 want to go with a 1080p TV, the picture quality will not be the greatest. The picture quality on this one is great with standard definition TV through Dish Network or AT&T Uverse. The picture quality of it when playing dvd's through our upconvert DVD player is magnificent. 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 couch 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 little 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 closer 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 used to work at BestBuy so I have heard alot of them. It plays good high sound and even has a little bit of bass without distorting. The sound quality is actually much better right around the half volume area and you can notice a significant difference in the quality between "vol.48-60" giving the best quality. The sound fills our 19'x19' room pretty good. It's by far no surround sound but gives a good clear sound with no distortion.
 Sound Died After 1 Year January 31, 2010

We have purchased Sony TV's for years. After 1 year and a month the sound on this TV just suddenly died. Went thru all the menu settings to make sure everything was set properly 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 problem 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. Instead, 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 second chances with me.

not happy
My family 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 warranty 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 number 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 favorable probably because it hasn't been over a year yet.
 1080p sold as 720p. Your gain, I'm serious. Sony forgot. November 26, 2009

First of all, this TV DOES display 1080p images. It may be marketed as a 720p, but the manufacturer forgot to block the "display" setting from telling you what kind of image is showing, which ranges from NTSC to 1080p. Just press 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 picture 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 movies.
Games such as Bioshock, Dead Space, Dirt and movies such as Wall-e and the Watchmen look incredible. Regular NTSC channels look like crap, since the tv enhances the detail so much you have to make some adjustments to "tone 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: vivid, custom and standard.
The speakers deliver crisp sound, but obviously they don't have a bass punch. 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 volume 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 connection that you can connect to a theater sound system for crisp digital signal.
I don't know what the big deal with the black colors is, if they wash out or not. They're just black, and if you want blacker just adjust the brightness and the backlight settings. simple.
I did notice that the backlight leaks a little at the higher right 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 discard 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 list is pretty bad too. You can favorite 10 channels, but you can't organize them or delete the ones you already added. You just 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 haven't used.
This TV doesn't have many features, aside from adjusting the colors. But again, its a Sony, and the picture quality is great. 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 product break on me, and this tv will probably last several years, hopefuly.
