Xross Media Bar™ (XMB™) user interface

Xross Media Bar™ (XMB™) makes it simple and intuitive to navigate the television's menus, controls, and user settings.

BRAVIA® Sync capability allows you to control CEC-enabled components connected via HDMI™ input. Use your BRAVIA HDTV remote control to play Blu-ray Disc™ or DVD movies, access home theater settings, and even operate compatible Handycam® camcorders with a convenient on-screen display3.

Ample Connection Options

The BRAVIA® XBR®6-Series smaller screen LCD HDTVs offer four HDMI™ inputs (up to 1080/60p capable) that transmit uncompressed digital video and multi-channel audio over one cable, as well as two HD component connections (1080/60p capable), giving you the flexibility you need to connect the latest video sources.

Favorites function with rich 3D graphics

Favorites function features rich 3D graphics that make it easy and fun to quickly access video content and digital photos to share with family and friends.

Voice Zoom

Voice Zoom surpasses conventional methods of voice level control by analyzing the direction in which sound moves to extract the "center" sound (where the human voice is positioned), giving you the freedom to control the volume of commentators in sports events, documentaries, and other programming.

VESA® compatible hole spacing

VESA® compatible hole spacing uses an industry-standard mounting hole pattern that can be used with VESA-compliant mounting brackets, taking the guesswork out of selecting the proper hardware for hanging your TV on the wall.

Motionflow™ 60Hz technology

Motionflow™ 60Hz technology helps reduce “judder” in film-based content, delivering a clearer picture during sweeping pans with reduced visible jerking or stuttering.

TV Guide® Interactive Program Guide

Sony has integrated the TV Guide® Interactive Program Guide into the exclusive Xross Media Bar™ user interface to deliver regularly updated program listings.

S-Force® Front Surround

S-Force® Front Surround enhancement function generates realistic, virtual three-dimensional “surround sound” from the two speakers in the TV, no matter what the size or shape of the room.

KDL-32XBR6 4.3 5 6 6
Beautiful I have had this TV for several days and so far I have no complaints. It has a perfect picture. Very clear and color is beautiful. I was worried about only two speakers, but they are great. Even the bass is very good. It is extremely streamline and fits my big kitchen perfectly. I bought a 22" and a 26" Sony in December and loved them so much that I just had to have another one. Also have a 52" XBR in the living room which is awesome with surround sound. Guess I am just Sony poor now, but enjoy the great quality, appearence and price. January 31, 2009
Outstanding I purchased a 32 samsung. Lasted 12 hrs, before i brought back to store. I then purchased the 32XBR.. initial thoughts were of high price, but once i got it home, and hooked up, outstanding. Hooked up to computer, and played online FPS.. flawless.. The samsung, gave me problems. With this TV, and a sony DVD player, it all works as it is supposed to. They communicate with each other perfectly. Picture is veryyyy good. I tried watching a movie, on both the samsung using a normal dvd with component, and the sony dvd with hdmi. on the samsung, you can visually tell which one was playing. on the Sony, both were visually awesome. Sony, wins that. As far as upgrades, the Sony, offers variable audio out, for seperate powered speakers, a big plus. I matched this tv with the Logitech Z5500 5.1 speakers.. Awesome. The sony, offers just soo many options, that it is worth the money. This is my 3rd XBR tv.. I tried to cut corners with the samsung, but once again for a few dollars more, i got 6-7 options, that i would have had to pay, with the other brand. Hooked the Sony up to my xbox 360.. WOW!!! The PIP is something that most other tv's just dont have. Me, i like it as it actually works. With different signals as well. The integratedTV Guide is just awesome. Only bad part would have to be that i had to buy 2 other lcd tv's and return them, to get my lesson... Sony - the one and only December 3, 2008
Excellent Picture Quality First of all the Sony KDL-32XBR6 is without a doubt the best TV I have ever owned. Period. Just like Sony is a Sony, XBR is an XBR. I bought this TV 3 months ago and after trying different brands, models, and sizes I decided to go with this one. Out of the many brands that I tested the closest that got to this one in terms of picture quality was the Sony KDL-32L4000. The reason I didn't keep the KDL-32L4000 is its lack of Bravia Engine 2 and it was only capable of doing 720p. The Sony KDL-32XBR6 has Bravia Engine 2 and more features worth the extra bucks. Polaroid, Samsung and other brands just can't compete with Sony. Yes I paid more for this model but it was worth every penny. Others argue that there's no way of telling that there's a difference between 720p and 1080p native resolution in 32 inchs TVs. Well they're wrong because when you put this 1080p native resolution TV next to a 720p native resolution TV you can tell the difference. What's more, when I invite my friends to come over to my house to watch football my TV gets lots of compliments and considering that it's just a 32 inch TV that says a lot to me. Overall its picture quality has no match. You can tell how much better the Bravia Engine 2 is as there is a good amount of noise reduction compared to other brands who lack this feature. The KDL-32L4000 does not have the Bravia Engine 2 feature and it was evident after trying this model. The Bravia Engine 2 feature provides better picture quality hands down. Another feature that I love about this TV is Motionflow. Unlike other more expesive models this one can only go as high as 60 Hz but it's good enough to me as I enjoy watching film based broadcasts with the feature turned off. Every once in a while I turn it on though. Also, the sound quality is superb. One of the reasons why I returned the Samsung TV that I tested was its poor sound quality. I knew Sony had to be better than Samsung so I tested this one and never went back. This TV has nice features such as Sony's S-Force Front Surround sound and Sound Booster. Combine both and you have a nice surround sound for you to enjoy when watching movies or watching sports. I realy love its sound quality. The menu presentation (XMB user interface) is another nice feature too. Its simply fun to use and futuristic. In terms of looksthis TV is a nice addition to your room. It's very elegant. I can go on and on and on about how good this TV is but you should get the idea by now. In conclusion, the Sony KDL-32XBR6 is excellent in terms of picture quality, sound and other enhanced features that only the XBR product line can offer. December 3, 2008
Very Nice I ordered (2) 32" CLASS BRAVIA XBR SERIES LC. One for my son's bedroom and my bedroom. The delivery from SonyStyle.com was very fast and product arrive in good shape. Easy installtion and I like the setup when you first turn it on. The only thing that is disappointing is the cool features it has, like the favorate channels, and TV guide setup will not work with the digital cable box. It will work without it though, by plugging the cable line directly to the TV. I also notice no headphone jack is provided. But over-all aside from this, great looking picture and the sound is perfect for the room size it's in. November 26, 2008
