- Great TV, but the TV Guide function is very poor
- The TV itself, superb. Brilliant colors, plenty of contrast, tons of features. Viewing angles are good, not as good as a plasma or CRT TV but better than most. As you get to the side, you do start to lose contrast, but the picture is very viewable and when I say get to the side, I mean at least 45 degrees to one side or the other. You can get confused going through the menus on setup, but once you're through them, it's fine and you can go back and forth easily. I do like the menu layouts and the use of the options button on the remote to get to the most useful. I just use the build in speakers, and the sound is great. The simulated surround sound is quite pleasing. The hookup to my VCR/DVD/DVR (1080p upconverting) was simple....one HDMI cable and it's all ready to go.
The TV Guide interface is my one complaint. The interface itself isn't so bad...but the TV guide data is horrible. I get off the air TV in the Denver area, the TV guide, when properly setup, shows multiple different stations on EACH channel! So if you don't put the proper station at the top of the list at each channel....the information shown on screen as you change channels is wrong. In addition, if you hit the TV Guide button, you get an overload of listings. If you turn off any one of the multiple listings for each individual channel...it turns off the channel from being selected. This is mostly TV Guide's problem, not Sony's but the 'turn off any one listing and you turn off the whole channel' is Sony's problem.
Bottom line....I am VERY pleased with the TV, I would buy another one in a heartbeat and would strongly reccomend it to my friends. I tend to be a perfectionist about skin colors and color saturation (to me, most people set their TV's with the color control turned up way too high) so the picture looks natural. I was not disappointed in this TV in this area. For me, it takes a lot of back and forth between all the various options...but the end result is as close to perfect as I've ever seen in a LCD based TV (or computer screen for that matter).
I believe the additional cost over Sony's similar 32" 720p (KDL32L4000) set is worth the extra money. To me, the difference between the two was very visible when looked at side by side. Your mileage may vary. - 2008-11-06, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Excellent TV worth the Money
- This is an excellent TV. Not many TVs of this size are Full HD (1080P). It also has really great contast ratios. It has a 25000:1 contrast ratio. The menus are really easy to use and very intuitive. It shipped quickly, and I was called the day before delivery to schedule a few hour window of when they would arrive with the TV. That made it very convenient.

- Tickled pink.
- Oh dear! I can hardly believe my eyes. I thought my Wega 23" from Sony was an unsurpassable bedroom set due to its stunning picture quality and vividness, but I was wrong. Even within a couple of feet this 32XBR6 simply blows my mind. And what a rabbit it pulls out of the proverbial hat with standard cable channels! Through HDMI, it upconverts everything to 1080P and, by gosh, these standard cable channels actually look pretty darn decent. If this set is as reliable as my previous set, and I don't see why it wouldn't as they are both from Sony and the XBR family is this company's top of the line TV's, then my friends, you have here an outstanding winner that leaves everyone begging for a place in front of the screen.

- Sony verses Sharp
- I just sold my year old Sharp Aquis 32" 1080P for this Sony. What a difference their is between the two. Sony blows the Sharp right out of the box. The picture on this Sony is outstanding. I cant tell you how happy I am to be rid of the Sharp and how much more enjoyable watching and using this Sony is. The Sharp was such a disappointment. My hat's off to Sony for this fine product.
