Customer Review: Fantastic!!!
I have now owned this television (Sony Bravia KDL-32S3000) for about two months and feel I have used it enough to write an adequate review. So here it goes:
Picture:
I have the set hooked up to a HD satellite receiver via a HDMI cable. I must say that HD picture is absolutely amazing. Detail is crisp, and colors are vibrant right out of the box. (I have made minimal setting changes and have found the factory settings to be quite right for me). Sports on the set are fantastic. Even when watching a fast paced hockey game there is no blurring from the quick motion.
For non-HD signals, the picture is quite good. I do not yet have a HD or up-conversion player for my DVDs, so I watch all of them in standard def hooked through basic red, yellow, and white AV cables. The picture (like any HD TV playing a non-HD signal) can be grainy when looked at closely, but from my couch it does not look bad at all. Next purchase is the PS3!
Sound:
Very nice compared to other sets of the similar size. The sound created by the speakers is full and not “tinny” like cheaper sets. For movies and sports I prefer to turn on my stereo system and get much deeper bass and even crisper sound, but I find the sound from the TV very good in most situations.
Features:
The on screen menus are extremely easy to use and well thought out. Only complaint here is the two HDMI ports. Most comparable sets in this size and price have three
I bought this set to replace a Samsung LNT3253H that I had for about a week. (The set had multiple known audio and video problems right from the box - My fault for not doing enough research before the purchase.) I am very glad to have purchased this set. The extra cost was justified to get a well reviewed set from a reputable brand. Another side note for those doing research: This set along with the Sony Bravia XBR KDL-32XBR4 were the two highest rated 32″ sets by Consumers Reports for 2008. I will never go with anything other than Sony again.
Customer Review: Pretty Darn Good
I spent the extra money and got the Sony. It was well worth it. I was especially pleased with the setup menus. You don’t have to be a techie to understand the process.
