Pros: GREAT picture, great sound (in my opinion- some say it is too weak w/10 watts per channel, but I think it is fine.), all the right inputs, GREAT remote and menu, and just plain cool looking.
Cons: PRICE! (I know this is supposedly the best of the bunch at 32", but come on! And the 2 models higher than this only really add PIP and XBR and they cost plenty more.) Did have to put the tilt control to +1 to even out the picture (thank God that is an option and we don't have to take it for repair!) I did notice when I played the "Tarzan" dvd that on the main menu there is a blue spot in the upper left hand corner- I have heard of this in previous postings and will have to call Sony about it, but that's not enough to make me want to take it back. Last thing, it is HEAVY. With the box it's close to 200 pounds so have a strong back or 2 people doing the moving.
So in closing, this is in my opinion the BEST 32" on the market- if you love Sony like me, and have the money it is definitely worth it.
I was a fan of Flat screen TV but now became a fan of AMAZON too... GREAT saving for me...
Sony also delivers strong stereo sound performance on this unit. Auto SRS sound enhancement creates a vivid stereo image, using the principles of human hearing to make the sound appear to come from widely separated speakers. This TV comes with dynamic acoustic chamber speakers, which develop rich, satisfying sound with pinpoint stereo imaging. Sony's tapered enclosures are folded around the back of the picture tube, maximizing output while minimizing bulk. In addition, Sony has included Steady Sound automatic volume control with BBE, which equalizes the volume levels so that there is consistency between programs and commercials.
Concerned parents will appreciate the V-chip parental control feature, which allows parents to lock out programming unsuitable for younger viewers. A unique feature is "Freeze Memo," which allows you to freeze what's on-screen--be it a Web site address or telephone number--so you can write it down.
