Great TV I had a Sony trinitron 36in for about 20 years and still working great i wanted an LCD so i bought this one and i am very satisfied. July 18, 2012
Great TV, can't go wrong with Sony quality. April 16, 2011
You get what you paid for I got this TV on sale, so it was worth it to pay only $100 more than the competency. And it comes wiith 4 HDMI ports while other brands for similar prices offer you only one or two. I'm not an expert on TVs so when I read this TV has a 3D comb filter I thought I needed only complimentary devices and I was ready to enjoy 3D movies! Not a chance! I learnt that a 3D comb filter has nothing to do with 3D capability, so be careful with that. Finally, I'd have preferred a refresh rate of 120Hz but 60Hz is fine for the price you pay. February 18, 2011
Average and no good for OTA Purchased the 32EX400 on sale for under $400. I originally had a very fine Samsung but, Samsung, and many HDTV makers do not include analog stereo RCA out. (I have a very nice two channel stereo system and that is all I want.) This set has RCA stereo out (thanks Sony!). I was initially fine with this set, although, I much preferred the Samsung picture - I am a graphic designer/photographer and I know color, contrast, etc. at a pro level. Sony seems higher contrast and does not handle red as well. Fewer adjustment controls too. As I explored the features more, I was shocked to discover that while this set has PSIP capabilities (shows the program banner, time left, etc.) it does not include even a simple EPG (electronic program guide) as the Samsung and most other brands do. Sony does have EPG as the "TV Guide" co branded feature on much more expensive sets. But not this line. I only get over the air TV so, back it goes and I start my search again. (Cable signals provide a cable company channel guide but, like more and more, I have dropped cable as it is mostly junk I don't watch and is overpriced.) So close Sony but, you blew it. With no EPG, this set is only good for cable or satellite TV users. Putting an EPG on this set would have cost nothing as it is just a software addition to a signal the set already processes.
