Summary: Nearly Perfect
Comment: I have owned this television now for approximately 8 months, and have owned the 46" version for nearly 6. My only regret is that there isn't a 50+ incher to add to my collection of these televisions. In this confusing day of Full HD (1080p) versus 1080i versus 720p (which is what these televisions are), there is a lot of hype. Trust me when I say its just that. At the sizes this television is available, 32", 40", and 46", only a bird of prey will be able to discern a difference in picture quality from a High Definition Source. The last time I checked, these avian creatures weren't really into the consumer electronics market, so this television (at its ridiculously low price) provides everything that someone looking for an awesome HD experience would need.
I've often seen car analogies used when comparing electronics equipment, so I'll do the same. The Sony Bravia S2000 series of televisions are the Toyota Camry/Honda Accord of the flat screen television market. Sure, there are sexier, higher performance flat screens out there...but if you're wanting a solid performer (incidentally actually made in Japan...not China or Korea) that delivers an outstanding, glare free, burn-in free experience....then this is the television for you.
Pros:
Right Priced
No burn-in
No motion artifacts with digital sources
Glare free
Sony Quality Television (one of the things they actually make well these days)
Rotating base
Cons:
Really wish there was a cable card slot
Only 1 HDMI port
Some naive consumers will overlook it due to the 1080p hype
Doesn't come in 50" + size
No picture in picture

Summary: Sony Bravia 32" TV
Comment: Good product. I have some concerns about picture quality with cable, but my converter box only allows a coax connection from the converter box to my TV, so that could be the limitation on picture quality. The DVD quality is much better and I have not purchased an HDMI cable yet. I am curious to see how much that improves the picture quality.

Summary: Sony Bravia Flat Panel LCD HDTV
Comment: Comparing the picture on this Sony to others side-by-side in stores made this an easy choice - and Amazon's price and free shipping sealed it for me. Setup was straight-forward. Only complaint is I'm having trouble finding the proper picture brightness setting - but its easy to adjust. I'm used to setting it and never touching it again - but with this set - perhaps its just HD - I need to tweak when I change channels sometimes.

Summary: Great Experience, Good TV. Very happy
Comment: Tv arrived within 5 business days of shipping. DLS unpacked and checked operation. No problems. Outstanding picture in High Def mode and good with my DVD player. However, be aware that analog channels don't upconvert very well and aren't so good. I was aware of this based on a review i had seen prior to purchase. LCD viewing angle is great. I'm very happy with the whole purchase experience and am pleased with the Product performance.

Summary: I love this TV.
Comment: I read the reviews here and on the Avsforum. I did the research and decided to buy this tv or the XBR1 32". Wow. Everything is perfect. This cheaper model offered by Sony is definitely not cheaper in any way. I had bought a Philips 32" LCD hdtv a few months ago and promptly returned it because anything on standard definition looked like crap. On the other hand, standard definition is excellent on this TV and hdtv is simply amazing. I'm using Tv with analog cable, playstation 2 on component cables, vga for extended desktop on windows xp and a 1080i dvd upscaler. Everything is perfect, there is nothing I don't like about it. Buy this tv!
