| TV arrived very quickly and setup was very straightforward using a TV antenna. The picture quality is amazing and Blue-ray DVDs look great. I can't wait to try the Internet connectivity as well. A great buy at a good price. |

| I am writing a review here, because you will never read about my problem with a model that is no longer for sale. So before you plunk down your hard earned money for a Sony (a premium brand) for an XBR model (their premium model), think about this: I like many others bought a Sony Bravia XBR KDL-32XBR4 32" LCD HDTV from Amazon. After 2 years and 5 months, this premium model from a premium brand FAILED while I was watching it. Just a white screen with multicolored stripes. Sony refuses to admit the problem, and refuses to help people like me. So before you spend your hard earned money - I thought I should let you make an informed decision - just read the 1 star reviews for the Sony Bravia XBR KDL-32XBR4 32" LCD HDTV |
Beautiful Picture as expected

| You pay a little more but I have had many Sony TVs and this one also has a very good picture. I have no comparison set to see if 240hz makes much of a difference, but I am happy with it. I tried sitting at different angles and it makes no difference having 5 people at 10 feet in front of the set-all had a great picture to view. Having HD cable or blue-ray is needed to see the detail, but even my regular DVDs look much better. I was happy that nothing was broken during shipping and set up was simple. I would do it again. Other sets might be cheaper but I doubt they could be any better. |

| Bought on 23 Dec 2009. Sony spoiled the Christmas and my New Year. I got a FAULTY KDL46XBR initially..Sony Acknowledges and sends a Replacement, they say it was NEW, I doubt. Becuase Second unit they sent was worst...with significant picture blur...Sony Acknowledges and says 2/3 parts needs replacement, but we dont know when these parts would be available..So after 40 days also I am without a TV..WHAT A WASTE ? Sony Customer care is another tarumatic experience...I bet there are bunch of FAULTY Units of XBR9 sitting out there..Imagine I had TWO BRAND new units of KDL46XBR9 and BOTH Units had issues..Acknowledged by Sony as well..So BE-WARE Guys..for mw hard earned money appears to go in drain... |
Love it

What a great TV. I purchased the TV along with BluRay and home theater. With HD inputs (RF, HDMI, etc) the picture quality is stunning, absolutely stunning. The detail and color intensity blow me away on HDTV programming and especially DVDs and BluRays. The TV speaker audio quality is excellent also considering what little Sony has to play with here in terms of speaker placement and cabinet acoustics. The bottom firing speakers offer good sound quality with an extremly clean appearance to the panel. Despite this, the home theater system ( I got the HTSS360) is an amazing auditory leap from the TV alone, so put that in your cart also to take the next step.
My one wish is that analog picture quality (yes I'm a tightwad for some things, at least for now) was better. It is inferior to my 32" Sony that is 10 years old, even when compensating for picture size. (You'll likely get used to it after a bit, I did.) But I knew this going in. Analog and SD picture quality is a not too uncommon complaint on HDTV's, some manufacturers more than others. (Sony is actually not the best here if you believe Consumer Reports) Something in the analog to digital conversion (I've read various technical explanations) simply gets lost. After all, analog reception and display has been refined over 70 years. So be prepared to get an HD upgrade from your cable company or go satellite I suppose to avoid this. I imagine most people will be unlike myself and go HD on their programming when they get this TV.
Otherwise, fantastic unit. Love it. |
