Wrap all of this up with an elegant a new brushed metal picture frame design and there's nothing like W-Series HDTV's.

  • 1080p, v1.3 HDMI, fantastic picture, all the latest technologies and it's a Sony. Nothing much else to say but this TV is awesome. You won't be disappointed. My buddy has a Pioneer 50" 1080p plasma that costs almost twice as much and this LCD blows it away in picture quality, life like color reproduction and doesn't show any reflections like the plasma definately does. I also own a Mitsubishi 52" 1080p DLP and did not think the picture could get any better and I was wrong, way wrong. This TV has a phenomenal picture that I have yet to see on any other TV that I have looked at.

Sony Bravia KDL-32S3000


Product Description
Sit back and enough the beautiful images, deep colors and modern design of the 32" Class BRAVIA S-Series digital LCD HDTV. Add class to any room and beautifully styled your favorite movies and TV programs. With the BRAVIA Engine full digital video processor, you immediately notice improved color and sharper details, no matter what you're watching. For all-digital audio and video integration, this HDTV features HDMI and PC connectivity that lets you seamlessly connect your compatible computer to the large display. An innovative light sensor also monitors ambient light in the room and automatically adjusts screen brightness, making it much more comfortable for viewing.
    

  •        Just a true, real contrast ratio that allows numerous shadow and hue detail that you're not going to see so clearly in any competitor's 32" set.

No washed out or dull colors, either - this Sony is a worthy replacement for dead-end, electricity guzzling, heat generating CRT technology.

And I looked at 6 brands, looking at every nuance, black level, color saturation, sharpness, detail, features, menu functions, et cetera, noting all TVs were at out-of-box conditions. I'd love to namedrop the worst ones, but that's a no-no... Here's a hint - those models are "inexpensive for their size". :)

Sony costs more, yes, but the difference in visual quality is formidable - worth every penny. Detail is exceptional, and sharp. Other models may not be as bright, may give edges jagged lines, colors may be flat, and so on...

If you are a videophile, this is THE set to get. Every setting under the sun can be changed (brightness, 'picture' (contrast), tint, et cetera). And this monitor also, much to my surprise and delight, includes filters to make DVDs (MPEG2) and broadcast signals look less grainy/noisy and sharper. You bet I'm a happy couch potato.

  •    Product is great; the best picture I've seen.

This post is to make customers aware of an issue with the "18 month no interest promotion" for this item.

PROBLEM:
1. Banner says buy this item with the Amazon store card and receive no interst for 18 months.
2. Cost of the TV is $2299.
3. Fine print states that the offer will "be terminated if...you exceed your credit limit".
4. Credit limit on the card when you apply is $2000

RESULT: 18 month offer is terminated the minute you place your order for the TV because the purchase price exceeds the credit limit.

I called the toll free number and both the rep and his supervisor confirmed that this was the case. To make matters worse, their policy is that you cannot request a credit limit increase in the first 6 months.
