Now back to the TV (which is what this review was actually about). The TV gets an excellent picture. I immediately did the software update from Sony which was a breeze. The sound is about right for that size TV. The picture is amazing. Hookup was fairly easy though I did not get sound on HDMI2. Still haven't figured that one out yet and may actually have to read the manual. I went into settings and set the picture to vivid (default is standard). Really made a difference, though it is ceratinly a matter of taste. When I went to input, it highlights the inputs that are active so there is little confusion getting to the peripherals. I can't say I noticed the problems that resulted in the update as I put it in first off because of the reviews, but it certainly looks great now. It does take a few seconds to come on or change inputs, but I am really not so impatient that it bothers me. The picture is worth the wait If you are looking for a 32 inch LCD- this is the one! ....and Amazon beat best buy by almost 300 dollars Sony BRAVIA XBR KDL-32XBR9 32-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV
This TV seriously lacks in features that the older models have such as the xross media bar, ethernet port. Being someone who rarely uses cable, i'll very much like news feeds from my tv, at my convenience. Sound is terrible...my girlfriend says her polaroid 22 inch has better sound quality, which is true.
So what am i gonna do now? well, i'm going to sell this set or return it amazon, get my money back, add 600 bucks and get the 40xbr7...it might be an older model but i think it'll better suit my needs
Right out of the box the TV not only looked great but had a sturdy feel to it. This is a well designed TV and doesn't feel flimsy or cheaply made. Other reviewers are complaining about some of the inputs being on the side of the TV - it's not a problem. There is enough of a gap between the inputs and the edge of the TV where any cables plugged into the side inputs can be neatly tucked around and behind.
The picture quality is amazing. Playing PS3 and XBOX 360 via HDMI looks phenomenal. Bluray movie and picture quality is amazing as well. I also have this thing doubling as a computer monitor via HDMI. There is a small ghosting effect on dark areas but I'm not surprised by that; this wasn't purchased with the intent of a gaming monitor for my computer but it's amazing how fun games are on a screen this big. Watching streaming HD content off the internet looks great too. The fact that this is 1080p and also 120hz makes just about anything look spectacular on here. There really is nothing bad to say about the picture quality on this set. All Sony Bravia television sets that I've viewed I have been very impressed with the picture quality.
The sound is something that I was a little disappointed on. The built in sound on the TV isn't bad by any means, however, it's not great either. You can't turn the volume up too loud otherwise the sound will really begin to distort. Low and mid volumes are the best way to listen with just the built in speakers. I eventually plugged into an external sound system and it sounds much better that way. I would recommend future (and current) owners to go this route to get the best sound quality.
Other various built in features I think are a nice compliment to the set. The menu functions are easy to use and navigate through. There are a lot of options to change around and edit, which is a nice bonus I think. The remote isn't bad either. I didn't order a firmware update from Sony but instead downloaded the latest firmware from their website and installed it myself. Wasn't difficult at all - the directions online to do this are easy enough to follow.
Overall I'm incredibly satisfied with my purchase. I would definitely purchase another one of these if given the opportunity, and would definitely recommend this set. I was on the fence for several weeks deciding on which HDTV to get. If you're looking for something you will really get your money's worth from - get this TV and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. :)
