It's not too big, not too small. Great for a small living room or a bedroom. The picture quality is amazing. The HD really shines with the Bravia series. It's easy to hook up to video game systems and after a year and a half it still retains the same clarity and picture quality it had when we bought it. It's a little on the higher end of the prices unless you can find it on sale, but it's totally worth it. I've really enjoyed that it has a VGA port where you can hook it up to your laptop and you can stream what you have on your computer to your TV. The sound quality is excellent for the size and doesn't ever sound tinny or less than ideal. The menu is pretty easy to deal with, too, especially when you're trying to get your TV to connect to all the new HD channels that are replacing the old channels.

Beautiful picture and looks great in the room

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

This is the first flat-screen TV that I ever purchased and so I did a bunch of research before I pulled the trigger. So far, I am extremely pleased with the Sony Bravia KDL-V32XBR2! I use this LCD TV in the bedroom and even though we are about 14 feet away from it, it is plenty big enough. To be honest, I went to the store hoping NOT to like the Sony. My perception was that their flat-screen TVs were expensive relative to other well-respected brands like Panasonic, and I really didn't want to pay a premium for the Sony brand. Unfortunately, I fell in love with the crisp display and the beautiful form factor - and did end up paying more than I would have for a comparable-sized tele...

Has a clear picture and it looks good even when it's turned off.

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

After moving from a house to an apartment, I went shoping for my first flat screen TV.  I did a little on line research first about performance and ratings, but mostly compared the picture quality and price of units on the display floor. So many of the TVs were huge!  I wasn't interested in a close up view of someone's back molars. Most of my TV viewing is for movies and DVDs. I especially like film noir and other classic black and white movies.Everything they say about downsizing is true - Watching TV in the 12 x15 apartment living room, I felt very crowded in comparison with my old 15x18 TV room/den.  I wanted a good picture, but not such a large screen that it would overwhe...

Fine after I had to return first one which was defective

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I've always loved Sony for reliability and good picture quality. That's why I bought this TV. Unfortunately the first one I got had something seriously wrong with the on/off switch--after the satellite dish installer left I couldn't get the TV to stay on. He told me he thought there was a problem but I thought he must be wrong, because it was brand new. But there was. To return the TV it had to be re-crated and they had to ship me a new one. It didn't take long and it wasn't a terrible process but of course it did take a bit of doing. That's why I have given it four instead of five stars. The new one is great and I love it.

Sony - BRAVIA (KDL-V32XBR2) 32 in. HDTV LCD Television

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

The **Sony - BRAVIA (KDL-V32XBR2) 32 in. HDTV LCD Television **was a great buy. The television appears bigger than 32 inches. The color is great and even greater when you watch programs in high definition. The menu is easy to navigate and adjust certain items. Often, the television has to be adjusted to wide screen when watching programs and/or movies in high definition. The television is very light in comparison to the size. It fits well above a fireplace and in a console. The television stands well with the mount that comes with it. I have had this television for a few years and it has yet to fall over, even when I have bumped the table that it is standing on very hard. The television does collect a lot of dust.

Nothing beats a Sony LCD TV

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

We bought our Sony Bravia 32 inch LCD TV from Wal-Mart about one year ago. We chose Sony because we have previously owned Sony TVs and were impressed with their quality. Also the price was unbelievably cheaper than I thought it would be. The normal price was $449 and it was rolled back or on sale for $398 so we were happy. Now I know I saw this exact TV like a week ago for only $348 so it appears the price just keeps getting better. We got the product home and set up was quite simple. The TV was well packaged and everything was included as it should be. The picture is extremely sharp and the colors are the right shades. The remote is simple and easy to understand and we had no trouble gettin...

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I bought Sony Bravia KDL-32XBR2 32 inch HD TV. It was delivered by Sony, set up, and works beautifully. The sound is perfect, like a surround sound. It is light weight, flat-screen, with a clear , vibrant, picture. IT has been one of my favorite purchases , since I've never had a flat screen television nor an HD. I found the cost of the Sony Bravia to be very reasonable. I believe in buying well known manufactured products, and I can honestly say that my Sony Bravia has not disappointed me in the least. I would recommend the Sony Bravia to any friend or relative. It is reasonably priced (under $3,000.00), has a great warrantee, and The Sony Corporation backs up all of their products. The customer service I found was friendly, co-operative, informative, and knowledgeable. I would recommend the Sony Bravia to anyone, you won't be disappointed. In fact with this picture perfect HD TV, you'll feel just like you own your own theater.

Everything I Hoped For

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

My husband and I are not huge TV watchers, but rather enjoy movies with occasional TV programs. Before we got married, I asked for a TV for my birthday. My parents wanted to give it to me as a special gift, so my dad did a bunch of research and found that this Sony product had the best reviews on Consumer Reports. We kept an eye out for sales and was able to get it at Target on sale for a significant discount. As soon as we set it up in my apartment I was really pleased by the vivid color quality. All of the shows that we watched seemed to have such excellent sound and picture quality. In fact, now when I go to other peoples homes and watch television on their older TV's I can barely stand it ecause I am used to such amazing picture quality. We moved the TV with us into our new home and continue to be very pleased. I have a feeling this TV will last us many years. I think it was far worth the price.

Beautiful TV

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I've had a Sony Bravia now for 4-5 years. It's been moved 4 times so I'd say it's very sturdy. It is attractive, has a great picture, easy to use. What's not to love about Sony. Sony as a brand is the best. If you buy any other brand it's a crap shoot. You don't know what you are getting or how long it will work. With Sony you have experience and technology on your side. It's a name you can trust. You will get your money's worth even if you pay a tiny bit more up front. We are big TV watchers here, it's on constantly or at least several hours a day. So far so good, it's still going strong and still looks brand new. The HDTV is awesome, you can see peoples pores and every split end in their hair, very vivid picture. The color is outstanding with many options to adjust it. It's great for DVR's and DVD's, Blue Ray and Wii. I would be lost without my Sony Bravia! I have also gotten many compliments on how nice it is.

My family loves having movie night on our Sony Bravia HDTV.

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

One thing we always look forward to since buying this TV is our family's movie night. We love watching movies in high definition with our bluray player. The quality of this TV is amazing and the picture looks so realistic. The sound is also amazing. It has all the different inputs you could need, and I just can't get over the picture this thing puts out. It is not the biggest tv out there, but the quality of this Sony television is like nothing I have ever seen before. High definition channels and sporting events in high def are amazing too. It feels like you are actually sitting at the game, or underwater swimming in the ocean with the fish when you see them on this TV. I would recommend this tv to anyone who wants a high quality tv that doesn't take up the entire room.

Bravo for Sony Bravia

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Our old JVC had been just three years old and one day a puff of smoke had come out of the back of it. Not sure what that was all about, but it definitely was fried. time for a new television set. After our last TV burned out, my son really talked me into getting an HD TV. We went to Costco and actually, rather quickly, decided on and purchased the Sony Bravia 32 inch HD TV. We really like the flat screen. It was so light compared with other older type televisions, weighing in at just 33 lbs. We felt that Sony had a good reputation and makes good products. A couple of the other brands on display were ones I had never really heard of, so it really made our decision an easy one. ...

Great buy

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I got a great deal on this - a sale and all they had left was the display model, so they marked it down more. This tv works great, especially considering it was a display. I have cable with AT&T Uverse and I use it everyday, and no problems yet. The screen is very clear and the color is just right. The options are easy to figure out. The volume does tend to fluctuate between certain things - live tv to recorded tv, but that might just be a problem other than the tv. Many people complained about the tv taking a long time to turn on, and it does take a little bit, but nothing to get upset about. People get too picky. This is the perfect tv to have for either a single person or a family. I transitioned it to both. I had the tv in my dorm room and now have it in a medium sized home. It fits in either way. I would highly reccommend it even if the person could not get the same great deal on price that I got.

Sony - BRAVIA 32 in. HDTV LCD Television

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

It's been almost a year since I bought my Sony Bravia 32" Flatscreen HDTV. It has trooper for me so far. The screen quality is always clear and the built-in sound quality has been better than expected as well. Sony always make sharp pictures, but I have to admit they don't make as good as quality as before. I owned this tv for less than a year and it gotten broken, the channel turns green whenver I change the channel up or down.If I could change one thing about the Bravia, I'd include fully customizable viewing modes. I find their "wide and wide-zoom" presets to be a bit frustrating. I never use them for standard channels because they cut off or distort the images. The screen is easy to view in all lighting conditions.
