Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The sleekly styled, silver 32-inch Sony Bravia KLV32U100M is packed with the latest high-performance video features, including a wide viewing angle, fast response time (great for sports and action movies), and a wide color gamut backlight that provides more natural skin tones and highly accurate overall color reproduction. Designed to receive HD and standard TV signals via set top boxes (cable or satellite), the KLV32U100M provide exceptional value and performance. It also offers digital HDMI video connectivity and a bottom speaker design that helps save space. The thin profile of this Bravia TV accommodates VESA compliant mounting systems (separately available). The removable pedestal swivels 30 degrees left and right and also tilts forward 3 degrees and backward 8 degrees for additional placement flexibility.

The KLV32U100M has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, 178-degree viewing angle, and 1300:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The Cinemotion 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theaterlike experience at home. The 3D digital comb filter offers 10-bit signal processing that renders superb gradation of grays, resulting in superior picture detail.

Other convenience features include: It pumps out 20 watts of audio power via its integrated bottom-aligned stereo speakers (10 watts per channel). It has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder (for connecting to a surround sound home theater receiver) and it can also produce SRS TruSurround XT virtual 5.1-channel surround sound from its two speakers. This set offers the following connection options:

• Composite (RCA audio/video): 3 inputs (1 on the side)
• S-Video: 2 inputs (1 on the side)
• Component (Y/Pb/Pr): inputs (rear)
• HDMI: 1 input (with L/R RCA audio connections)
• PC: 1 D-Sub15 input (with L/R stereo mini plug connection)
• RF: 1 input
• Total audio inputs: 3 (rear)
• Headphone: 1

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

And in case you were wondering, BRAVIA is short for "Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture."

1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty Product, February 20, 2007

Greg A (Nassau County, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sony Bravia KLV-32U100 32-Inch HDTV Tunerless LCD Monitor (Electronics)

As described by many others, this unit is faulty and began turning itself on and off after a few months. My situation is different in that it took a little longer for the problem to materialize so I still had a tv that functioned 95% of the time while waiting the 2 weeks for the A board to arrive. Thanks to other people writing reviews I knew my tv would only get worse so I scheduled the repair as soon as I started experiencing only a slight problem. The sony contracted repair I used was actually very professional and reliable, the tv has been working flawlessly for a month now and I am hoping that will be it. The picture is great but I will be living in fear that it dies again outside the 1 yr warranty period. Avoid this unit.

2.0 out of 5 stars Keeping Our Fingers Crossed, January 6, 2007

By 

Amazon Fan (Chattanooga, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sony Bravia KLV-32U100 32-Inch HDTV Tunerless LCD Monitor (Electronics)

Great picture and definition. The 32" screen image is somewhat smaller than that on our ancient 26" set which we hauled back into use when....

Less than six weeks after we bought this set, it died. Just plain died. When Sony finally sent a tech out (almost two weeks after we reported the problem), he called in a report saying it was dead. We'd already told them that. He ordered a new "A Board" and said it would take about two weeks for it to arrive. Two weeks came and went. When I called to inquire, I was informed that the part was in and the tech had been supposed to call us. The new board was installed on December 26 and we're keeping our fingers crossed. We like the set and are hoping it will last.

I've been buying SONY TVs since 1982,and This has been my first experience in HD
Is a pity that this is a MONITOR tunerless because the image is excellent (720p 0r 1080i).
PROs: Nice experience after 3 years (SONY is SONY)
CONS: REMOTE CONTROL pass away after 2 years.
