The picture is great on this TV and there are a lot of things I love about it.
We watch both cable & over the air HD. In our bedroom we don’t have a cable box and only have a connection to cable via a coax cable. To switch between cable & over the air antenna HD signals we have to use and manually change an AB switch since there is only one coax input on the TV. This makes it very cumbersome to change these input soures. I guess we could just bite the bullet & rent another cable box from the cable company for $12/month and then use the HDMI connection.

This may be too soon to fully evaluate the performance of this TV, but up to this point I have nothing to regret. It was remarkably easy to install. The picture and sound are everything I wanted and expected. All that is left to evaluate is the durability. If that is adequate than I would have given it five rather than four stars….except for the price. I could have had a 1080pi with a beautiful picture for less money, but I am counting on the Sony reputation for quality..Possibly foolish.

I bought a Sony Wega XBR 36″ tube TV as soon as it came out…and then had to return it three (3) times because of yellow, tea-like stain “effect” on top and/or bottom of the screen. PC Richard sales guy thought I was nuts until I brought in a VCR and played back nothing but what was supposed to be bright white screen. It wasn’t and they replaced it without any further questions asked.
I guess I didn’t learn my lesson the first time and purchased this 32″ “top-of-the-line” XBR model few days ago. I powered up the unit today and played Bluray version of Norbit via Playstation3. Right away I noticed “flashlight” effects (four of them) all over the screen and another defect – clouding in several spots. I could see them clearly with or without my glasses and it’s extremely annoying when watching slow-paced scenes. So much for dynamic 8000:1 contrast ratio. For $1200 I expected the best, especially when 32″ LCD TVs can be had for $600…and they don’t have these glaring problems.
I tried adjusting the settings but both problems are still there. TV is going back to Amazon ASAP and I am getting a Sharp Aquos as a replacement. Needless to say, this is my LAST Sony.
I did a quick search and this appears to be a common problem and as many as 70% of people who purchased xbr3 and xbr4 models have it. Don’t buy Samsung either since that’s what is inside Sony xbrs.
Check out AVS Forum to see actual pics of both defects.

Everything was perfect, no problems encountered. Delivery took a few days which was fine. Shipping company gave me an eight hour window for delivery-Saturday in this case. Said I could call first thing that morning to get better idea of delivery time. Which I did and they came within 15 minutes of their ETA. Very polite and professional. All in all a very positive experience.

This recently discontinued top of the line model was affordable, has the good 10-bit color and other XBR features that make it look better than other 32″ HDTV – I went to Best Buy to compare its simply breathtaking. It’s the most expensive I’ve ever bought thru Amazon.com, and I intend to keep buying high-ticket items there. I always felt safe in ordering because it’s easy to track orders and easy to get help you need it. And I’ve probably bought more than 100 things at Amazon
No problems.
