 Great LCD TV November 8, 2009
Nutman (Ohio United States)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've had this Sony LCD for about 4 months. I bought it for the bedroom. The sound is really good. Once you adjust all the settings it has a great picture. In the one review the person said
the picture on this Sony was the worst. When I looked at the screen at bestbuy the picture was bad compared to another LCD it was next to. I then opened the settings menu and adjusted the settings then the picture looked great. Just as good as the other LCD. So when in a store don't always judge the picture by what they have the settings at. Just get into the menu settings and change them. What I really like about this set is HD looks great and SD also looks really good.
 Indeed, Sony is NOT what it used to be. November 7, 2009

We returned this item to Sams several months ago.
Very poor everything, in our opinion and we had problems with poor sound.
We've had about 6 Sony products over the years, including: tv's, stereos,
and clock radios. The only products we've been totally happy with are the
2 clock radios! Another frustration is Sony's policy of returns, which is
poor. They also have a lot of products with proprietary issues, which means
you can't buy anything off the shelf for it. We don't buy Sony products
anymore. Sorry for the lack of all the details here, but I'm typing with a
sprained wrist, and I forgot most of the details anyway! I'll check with
the wife and ewrite more later.
Great TV for PC monitor and television viewing October 28, 2009

We have had this for about 2 weeks and are very happy with it. It was very easy to set up. Our cable package only has broadcast stations but with this we seem to be able to get the digital versions of a whole lot of basic cable channels. Unfortunately, there's still nothing on them except reality shows and procedurals reruns, so it just confirmed for us the uselessness of cable TV.
I hooked up my Mac Mini with a DVI to HDMI cable and got a Microsoft Wireless keyboard and mouse for it. It works very well as a PC monitor and we are able to watch Netflix Watch Instantly movies, YouTube videos and TV shows from Hulu or the networks' sites. We are using Boxee.tv as an interface and that works well. Next up, get an eyeTV so we can use the thing as a DVR.
This is working out exactly as I had hoped and I strongly recommend this TV. We checked out the different brands at comparable price points ($400-$500) and only this one and the Samsung really floated our boat. The picture is almost too clear. I mean, how many acne scars do you really want to see? It has a very usable favorites function which allows you to save your channels. It also interfaces with our Sony Home Theater system with an HDMI cable so we can control the whole system with one remote. Actually I can use the Home Theater remote and my wife can use the TV remote and we can have remote wars.
It has a Picture in Picture function so you can watch TV while you're working on your PC. One complaint is that in order to go back to full TV you have to go through more key presses than I would have liked. The only other complaint is that it takes a few seconds to tune in each channel.
We now have a very useable media center in our living room which gives us complete access to all the wonderful entertainment out there on the interwebs!
be careful before buying - the 32L4000 model crashed October 2, 2009

I purchased a 32" Sony KDL-32L4000 model through an Amazon retail partner, ABT of Chicago. It arrived quickly and worked beautifully for 13 months. Then, the picture went haywire, with shimmering , curtain like things covering the screen. I have seen this condition described in other reviews of this product.
Sony live chat worked with me and concluded there was a major failure somewhere in the system. They recommended a service center 140 miles from my home. I took the set to two electronics shops in the city near me and both of them said it was not worth fixing. Mother boards at $200.00 + each would need to be replaced and even then no guarantee of reliable performance. I donated it to a recycling center. Of course it was one month out of warranty.
At the suggestion of the repair shops, I went to Wal Mart and bought a Vizio model listed as a "best buy" by Consumer Reports for $440.00. So far it is beautiful.
I have been a Sony loyalist for years, but no more. A $700.00 TV gone in a year.
This problem may have been fixed in newer models such as the KDL-32L5000. Just a word to the wise about my experience.
Exellent! September 22, 2009

I bought this unit through Amazon.com and it was shipped by J&R Music. It was delivered within a few days, free shipping, lightweight and very easy setup, excellent picture on HD and regular channels, excellent sound. I couldn't be more satisfied.
