QuickTake:

Pros: Detailed imagery with HD sources. Customizable menu system. Good color representation.
Cons: Single digital video input is limiting. Default picture settings degrade standard-definition viewing experience. Scrolling through broadcast channel guide also caused the TV to change channels, with odd blank-screen pause between channel changes.

Comments:
Pricey model includes some premium features, but less expensive units have better image quality.

Review Verdict: Physical design and high-end features, including rich sound, recommend this Sony Bravia, but for the price (at time of review), its image quality could be better.

Product Rating: 3.75 star(s) Sony Bravia KDL-V32XBR1 HDTV

Comments:
The Sony Bravia KDL-V32XBR1 offers some interesting, high-end features that help explain its high price ($2700 on 3/24/06). However, its image quality, though generally good, falls short of what you see on some less expensive LCD TVs.

Review Verdict: The chief attraction of the Sony Bravia KDL-V32XBR1 is its well-conceived physical design. Details like the CableCard slot and the neatly secured remote battery compartment make this a TV that would be easy to live with. And if you have use for the more u
