Sony Bravia L-Series KDL-32L4000 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Reviews
Picture clear as a bell No problems at all. Television has met all expectations.
Component input for HDTV is another option. The buttons of the remote are large and it is easy to read, for a farsighted person like myself. Other flatscreen TVs around the house that I own include a Panasonic Viera 50" Plasma 85 Series, Sony 37" Plasma, Sony 32" Bravia LCD. For a viewing distance of about 12 feet, I needed something relatively big enough for that distance, that had HD capability, was inexpensive and reliable. IMAGE QUALITY:. Standard definition and high definition picture quality are excellent for the price.
720p resolution is great for a TV of this size. With the external speakers, I thought that the sound would have been above average. Sacrifice sound for everything, else. Just keep in mind, the sound is just average in quality. SETUP:. USE:. 1080p does not play a part in resolution until you get up to 46".
The remote is a no frills highly functional remote with standard buttons. SOUND QUALITY:. After initializing the television for language, the autoprogram feature for channels worked relatively quickly picking up about 66 analog and 111 digital channels. 2 HDMI inputs allow for a cable box and Blu-ray player.
VERDICT:. 3 phillips screws were all that was necessary. However, I think this is where the price point reveals itself. This is definitely not a deal breaker, you can always opt for an external speaker system or run the TV with a receiver or speaker - if this is your primary TV. Overall, this is a nice value for a television that will be primarily for the guests - or when I want to get away from the crowd in the house.
PRACTICAL ISSUES:. The menu system is clear and intuitive. The television is relatively light and I was able to connect the base to the television and lift it upon the stand without too much effort. You can choose Custom, Vivid or Standard settings (I chose Vivid).
I was in the market for upgrading the last of the CRT televisions in the house.
I think the blacks are amazing for LCD and for the price really can't be beat. Time lapse from walking in door to laying in bed watching TV on a DVD was 20 minutes tops. It's perfect size for bedroom and sitting on dresser. Was very impressed with HDTV broadcasts.
no annoying reflections. it's directly facing bed. I bought it last nite and setup was so quick and easy. Also like that it's all flat matte finish and glass.
My dad has a more expensive set with a more complicated remote. i guess a backlight would have been nice. I agree that it should have swivel base but fortunately I don't have to move it. My dads remote still has me guessing and hunting through way too many buttons. My first flat panel after years of projector and tube tv. Then plugged in cheapie DVD player and only had the standard video connector (didn't have component cables available) and was very surprised at how good the picture was. This all happened very fast.
It only has two HDMI but also two Video, two Component, and PC input. I attached an over-the-air antenna I bought for $30 and let the TV find the stations. but it's so easy. I love this simple remote. I LOVE the simplicity of set and AMAZING picture.
The Sony Bravis an outstanding TV for the money, great picture and a quality product
The matte finish is much more elegant. I have HDTV cable connected via HDMI, Apple TV and DVD connected via component cable. I'm not a video "connoisseur" but I've learned you get addicted pretty quickly to HD channels. Great picture and very decent sound. All sources work and look great and everything has worked fine.
Everything just worked out of the box and the operation, menuing system, etc. It's a very attractive unit that is gratefully lacking the "piano black" finish that just about every other HDTV has these days. I'm pleased with everything about this HDTV. is very easy to use and straightforward.
