 Works great with my Oppo 83 and Roku March 17, 2010
David Levy (Fort Washington, PA USA)
The TV can loaded with the latest firmware. It arrived in excellent condition, no damage to the box. Setup was simple. My Oppo 83 is hooked directly into a HDMI port; the picture look superb. I just wish I had bought two at $697; the price is back up to $899. My Roku goes into a second HDMI port, and it look great.
A steal for the price March 9, 2010

Pros: An excellent TV. The picture is awesome. Very good viewing angle. I have never seen a 32" TV display HD content so well. The menu options are vast. The colors are deep, rich , and vivid (pun intended). Also, Sony's vivid color mode has been improved greatly (tried it on a 2005 TV, the colors looked cartoonish). The USB ports are awesome. Simply plug in a USB stick, and show off your pictures, or play your music.
Cons: Well, the sound is OK. but, honestly, what they heck are you expecting out of that little speaker? The default color settings were AWFUL. This thing required quite a bit of calibration to get it looking like it should (if anybody wants the settings, reply with a comment, and I will give them). The picture out of the box is why I docked this a star.
Other thoughts: As said many times before - UPGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE. The download is available from Sony.

My family has been buying Sony TVs since the mid-1960s. I already own two Sony Tube TV but decided it was time to purchase a new flat screen TV. I purchased a Sony Bravia XBR KDL-32XBR9 based on my past experience with Sony products and consumer reviews. I put the new TV in my remodeled kitchen - the picture quality was great. Unfortunately, I lost the picture within a month. It seems the HDMI connections failed. I notified Sony Customer Service and within a week a technician came out and replaced the circuit board. The TV was back in business; however, within another month or so, the HDMI failed again. I notified Sony Customer Service again and they promptly came out and fixed it again. This time I wasn't too happy so I wrote to the head of Sony USA and complained. I said while the Customer Service was great, I wasn't happy that a new TV would fail so soon. I wrote that I've bought 5 Acura cars since their inception and Apple Computer products since 1989 and none of these products have ever failed like my new XBR. I also explained that while Sony does offer a refurbished TV in place of a problem TV under warranty that wasn't the point and explained that if I wanted a refurbished TV I would have bought one - I bought a new TV and expected it to work. After the head of Sony USA received my letter I got a phone call from a Customer Service Rep. She acknowledged my complaint and said because of my problem that Sony was going to extend my warranty for another six months. I told the rep while that was nice it doesn't do me any good since I already have Sony Extended Warranty coverage. Well to make a long story short, the HDMI connection has failed for a third time last week. I put another call into Sony Customer Service using the so-called special phone number the last Customer Rep gave me. The new rep that answered the phone reviewed my case and then came back on the line and said because of the problems my TV was having, he would have to turn the problem over to a special group. The rep said the someone from the new group would contact me in a day or so. Well, that day or so has come and gone. So much for ever buying another Sony product. This TV gets one star for looks and nothing more. Now I know why DirecTV engineering no longer uses Sony TVs.
Fine television March 2, 2010

I bought this from Amazon.com in December 2009 for $699.
Upsides: Sleek look, nice menus, beautiful pictures. Can't wait to check out Blu-ray on this. I like that it passes optical audio out; don't know if that's standard these days but I can see that will be useful when paired with an audio system. Love the picture- and sound-tweaking options.
Downsides: Start-up delay (10-12 sec?), displays infobar at the top each time resolution is switched (480/720/1080), which is annoying when using it with a native-output DVR.
Very Pleased February 19, 2010

This is the first flat screen HDTV that I have ever purchased. I, like many others looking for HDTVs, did a lot of research before finding "the one". I'm extremely satisfied with this as my first purchase. I've owned it for a little over 2 months now and have gotten a lot of use out of it already.
Right out of the box the TV not only looked great but had a sturdy feel to it. This is a well designed TV and doesn't feel flimsy or cheaply made. Other reviewers are complaining about some of the inputs being on the side of the TV - it's not a problem. There is enough of a gap between the inputs and the edge of the TV where any cables plugged into the side inputs can be neatly tucked around and behind.
The picture quality is amazing. Playing PS3 and XBOX 360 via HDMI looks phenomenal. Bluray movie and picture quality is amazing as well. I also have this thing doubling as a computer monitor via HDMI. There is a small ghosting effect on dark areas but I'm not surprised by that; this wasn't purchased with the intent of a gaming monitor for my computer but it's amazing how fun games are on a screen this big. Watching streaming HD content off the internet looks great too. The fact that this is 1080p and also 120hz makes just about anything look spectacular on here. There really is nothing bad to say about the picture quality on this set. All Sony Bravia television sets that I've viewed I have been very impressed with the picture quality.
The sound is something that I was a little disappointed on. The built in sound on the TV isn't bad by any means, however, it's not great either. You can't turn the volume up too loud otherwise the sound will really begin to distort. Low and mid volumes are the best way to listen with just the built in speakers. I eventually plugged into an external sound system and it sounds much better that way. I would recommend future (and current) owners to go this route to get the best sound quality.
Other various built in features I think are a nice compliment to the set. The menu functions are easy to use and navigate through. There are a lot of options to change around and edit, which is a nice bonus I think. The remote isn't bad either. I didn't order a firmware update from Sony but instead downloaded the latest firmware from their website and installed it myself. Wasn't difficult at all - the directions online to do this are easy enough to follow.
Overall I'm incredibly satisfied with my purchase. I would definitely purchase another one of these if given the opportunity, and would definitely recommend this set. I was on the fence for several weeks deciding on which HDTV to get. If you're looking for something you will really get your money's worth from - get this TV and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. :)
