 DIED AFTER 16 MONTHS..... March 23, 2009
Graeme Grady (London)
Really liked this tele, however, as it literally has died just outside the 12 month manufacturers guarantee, (no I did not take extended warranty thinking Sony a good name), very disappointed. The set was turned off, when I tried to turn it on again, it would not come on....now looking at £138 just to have the set checked out!!
I would not buy Sony again....
 Nice picture, shame about the rest. August 23, 2008

I spent a little extra buying this TV over some other 32" LCD's, mainly due to the excellent reviews I read on this product.
When I opened the box, I was surprised at the low quality of the plastics used, and the overall flimsy feel. Certainly not like the Sony's of old.
When powered up however, the image is really amazing, that Bravia engine certainly makes the built in freeview look good, which is normally where LCD's fall short. The image from my Xbox 360 via the VGA port was also very good, as was DVD playback via component.
Sound quality is nothing special though, there is a distinct lack of bass. With the bass control turned up, the sound is muddy. The treble also lacked clarity. It sounds the best with vocal material. Its a good thing that there is audio output via RCA's, so it can be hooked upto a stereo.
In conclusion,
Pros:
Image quality
Connectivity
Good remote control
Cons:
Cheap feel
Sound quality

Ordered the TV and selected express guaranteed delivery for £8.99, arrived by City Link at 8.30am within 20 hours of ordering it. Suspect folks having difficulties with delivery selected the Free delivery. I'd say worth spending extra £9 to know the delivery is guaranteed. No wasted days off work.
TV is really easy to set up, excellent picture quality. Now watching the rugby without the faintest hint of ghosting. Sound quality is excellent, heard on digital spy that some people are not happy with the sound but it is very good - don't know what they were complaining about. Theatre button is great, press it once and your living room will turn into a cinema. Great value and very easy!
Good even at double the price July 22, 2008

The short review: You would be hard pushed to tell it apart from similar TVs at double the price.
Read on if you really need to know more.
We had been considering the new Sony and Panasonic Full HD models (KDL-40W4000 and TX37LZD800) costing nearly three times as much before coming to our senses and buying this one.
No, this one does not display a picture at 1080p. But we have struggled to spot the difference.
No, it doesn't have the latest cinema processing engine. But DVDs look no worse for it.
We made a point of watching some football (yawn!) just to see how it would cope with fast moving objects. We could not spot any trails from either the fast moving ball and players or from panning.
When watching DVDs, we noticed terribly jerky movement and object trails in panning shots. Duff image processing? Faulty panel? No. Our Pioneer DVD player was trying to upscale the picture to 720p and making a pig's ear of it (or maybe it was the cheap HDMI cable that was unable to cope with the higher bit-rate, but I doubt it). Once we switched the DVD player's upscaling off and let the TV take care of it, we ended up with Miyazaki and Michel Ocelot cartoons looking almost 3D and live-action movies with a cinematic feel. Even SD broadcasts look almost as if they have been transmitted in HD.
So, why only 4 stars? Because, like all new TVs, it came colour-calibrated by infants. The reds, blues and greens were so vivid that they hurt our eyes. Even Eastenders and Coronation Street looked as if they had been filmed in a spotlit Fisher Price set. We managed to subdue the colours somehow after some fiddling with the controls, but it will take a lot more tweaking with DVE before we get a decent colour balance.
We'd heard a lot of bad things about the speakers on these panels. We normally use studio monitors to listen to soundtracks, so I thought we'd be disappointed with the sound from the tv. Didn't need to worry. They are loud enough for the job and precise enough to cope with both concert DVDs and movie soundtracks.
Granted, it is not the best looking set I've seen. But that doesn't matter when you are watching a programme. Besides, a tv that does not catch your eye switched on or off is doing its job, isn't it?
It is very easy to get carried away with the rave reviews on-line and in the magazines. You keep shifting your expectations because of write-ups that mention that edge-definition is better on some £1000 TV set or that one can see better detail in the dark scenes if one waves around a bit more money. I guess these reviewers have to justify their existence somehow and make the most of the barely noticeable differences. Most of us will struggle to spot any problems once we take the set home and turn the colour, contrast and the brightness down to human levels. Anyway, when you're sitting in front of your tv watching Alien, if you're busy admiring the detail level in the ichor trails instead of rooting for Ripley, either you ought to get out more or go back to your work in the editing room.
In short, unless you edit your own HD videos (come to think of it, we do, but we use multi-monitor computer set-ups for that, sit inches from the screens and then let someone else pay for the machinery to project the results professionally), save yourself the money and go for one of these. You are unlikely to regret the choice. And even if you do, you'll be able to sell it off easily, and buy one of this year's Full HD sets for half the price next year anyway, so what have you lost?

This is a good tv with adequate inputs for the price however i was disappointed when I went to connect it to my home cinema system as it doesn't have a digital audio output, like it says in the spec!
