 What a difference! October 13, 2008

Our ancient 24" CRT TV finally gave up the ghost and, as pensioners, we were forced to enter a whole new world of TV technology with much apprehension. Fortunately we seem to have made a great choice with this TV. In spite of choosing the free delivery option it arrived only 2 days after ordering. With the help of our son-in-law it was quickly assembled, connected up to our other equipment and ready to use. What a revelation! We cannot beleive the difference between the sharp, clear and colourful picture we now receive compared to the old set. The instruction book is very easy to understand and all the special features easy to access and genuinely useful. A great TV at an almost unbelievable price. Thank you Amazon.

Sony KDL-32V4000 - 32" Widescreen HD Ready Bravia LCD TV - With Freeview
I spent a long time looking for a tv for my father who is 70, and the 15" Philips cathode t.v. though still brilliant picture quality was becoming a strain for him to watch.
So I did a lot of research and it was down to either a Sony or Toshiba.
There was no need for full 1080p as the input was going not to be HD for the bedroom just the in built freeview tuner and may be a sky box.
When I saw this and read the specs I was amazed at the price..lets just say its the best price I found compared to any of the other major retailers ..with free delivery.
Ordered the tv wednesday it arrived 7.30 on saturday by a happy citylink courier guy who said when i opened the door..got a nice new tv for you mate. Great Service.
But the best was yet to come. Unpacked the t.v. put the stand on pluged it in and connected the aerial...and in 6 minutes it was up and running.
And the picture quality through the in built tuner ..is amazing.
It picked up all channels using an the old aerial we have that is 25 years old...as i was worried we would need new digital aerial. All i can say is try your old aerial first before spending money on a digital aerial, you may not need one.
connected the sky box and the picture is just as good. have to say I turned down the backlight setting from 7 default to 5 as it less strain on the eyes..but that's a personal choice.
The sound is great too , more than enough for a bedroom, and even a living room as it was set-up and tested in the living room first.
And what I loved best..was that the instruction manual is all in English. Not a multi language book that sometimes comes with electronic goods.
So to round up this tv was a great buy at an amazing price with free delivery.
Just do a search on Tesco or Asda's site at the price and I think you will have a heart attack...and they even hadn't had delivery yet as the t.v. is that new ....
Amazon I thank thee lots .

As the above states, this is a quick review for anyone a touch apprehensive about ordering this product. I was in exactly the same boat but its one of the best descisions i've made recently. Ok i have upgraded from a 720p 19" LCD, so any 32" TV is going to outshine it but the quality is fantastic. The picture when running a 1080i signal through it is perfect, very sharp! Havn't got a bad word about it, great solid build quality and ample ports to get everything hooked up.
The price is amazing, very good value, Sony currently sell this for 549. A similarly priced TV on the highstreet at this size won't offer anything above 720p and a much poorer contrast ratio.
Great call on the price drop amazon, and i can't urge potential buyers enough, get this ordered, now!
Very impressive goodwill gesture October 12, 2008

I had previously owned the KDL32V2500 which died approx 2 months after the warranty ran out. At the time I didn't have the sense to take out the extended warranty. Anyhow, I contacted Sony re: this who were very helpful. About a week later Sony came back to me and offered me this TV, brand new for 200!!!! I was actually looking at the w4000 version, however after careful consideration of the offer made to me by Sony (which they didn't have to do)I accepted it. Very impressed with their Good will gesture.
I don't think there's anything that I can add really to the review as per Mr. M. S. Read, except that the 32v4000 completely blows my earlier 32v2500 model in terms of picture quality, and colour contrast, etc.
Very impressed with the product and Sony's customer care service.
I thought I should emphasise the gesture made by Sony because all too often the "big-boys" are slated for their lack of customer-centric practices.

Ordered this tv on Wednesday 15th October and opted for the free delivery so was not expecting it for at least another 7 days - however it was delivered this morning (Sat 18th October)to my delight! I had it up and running within an hour or so and it looks and sounds magnificent! I would have had it operational within 15 minutes if it wasn't for the fact that the instruction booklet didn't give any instructions as to how to connect to a "Sky" box,only a DVD or Video Recorder. However I just went online to their suggested website and easily accessed the relevant instructions. This is not really a criticism as most people with any knowledge would already have known what to do but as a novice I needed a bit more detailed instructions. I even managed to lift and screw it on to the stand on my own (I am a slender female) as it is so lightweight! One comment I will make is that I prefer the picture quality to be set at "Vivid" as opposed to "Standard" (which is recommended for Home viewing whereas the "Vivid" is recommended for shops displaying the tv)as it is a brighter picture. Well done Amazon again for an amazing service. I had been considering buying this tv for months and am so glad I took the plunge once the price fell. I am certainly no expert on techinical details no
