I ordered my Sony Bravia on a Tuesday night and FedEx (free shipping with this product) delivered to my door Friday morning. Great service, great product + best price. Amazon is THE place to buy electronics!
No Regrets

I mean to say that usually I buy something and then a week later I capitulate. Not with this TV! It is the most amazing thing. The only thing I could have wished for is the screen could be as wide and tall as my old TV so I could have filled the hole in my entertainment center..Really tho this TV has every aspect covered from picture to sound to ease of use. I also purchased Sony Bluray and home theatre hooking it up was easy but configuring it was kinda confusing when using the manual regarding Bravia sync. Its all better than good now tho!!!
overall happy, though pixels are already starting to burn out
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I have had this for almost a year now. Am very happy with it with one tiny gripe, there is no headphone input. I know I could get “wireless” headphones for an additional expense, but am curious why Sony just didn’t add this small, and sometimes convenient feature. I did not realize this when I bought the tv. I thought it was a standard feature.
Also pixels have started to burn out. My last HD tv had this same problem after almost 1 year too. There is a 6 inch line in the middle of the screen that is red, and sometimes bright blue depending in the background. I find it is more prominent when I am watching something recorded on the DVR. It does frustrate me only having this tv for less than a year, that this is showing up already. Maybe that is the norm for HD LCD TV’s.
I would say that this is a good basic tv, “average” in quality in it’s class. Next time I will try a LG, or Sharp.
Amazing 1080p 32 inch TV! So far so good!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this back in december 2008, and so far it’s been a great product. This was my first HDTV, so I had to carefully choose something I wouldn’t regret later, and after reading a lot on forums and websites, I decided to buy this one, and I think I made the right choice.
I use this mainly for gaming on my Xbox360, and the games look absolutely great! I have watched HDTV programming from my cable company, and it looked great too. I still haven’t tested this with a bluray, but when I watched a HD movie through the Xbox Live service, it looked amazing, so I think that bluray will look at least as good as those HD movies.
The sound is great, the screen doesn’t reflect that much room light, I can only say good things about this great set. I really recommend it, specially now that they’re cheaper than when I bought mine.
another quality sony

Loving new 32″ Sony XBR6 LCD
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Bought the Sony 32″ XBR6 1080p flat-panel LCD HDTV in March 2009 from
Amazon.com for $ 718. Delivery went fine although, they didn’t wait, due to the cold outdoor temperatures, to test the Sony’s picture, since it had warm up to 55 degrees F. So, I inspected it for damage, then hooked it up the next day. The picture is outstanding on OTA hi-def channels! Still tweaking the picture settings in the custom mode, but it looks great. Ended up buying this instead of the Samsung A550
32″ 1080p set, since, on Amazon, the Sony XBR6 was about $40 cheaper than the Samsung. It would be nice to have the Samsung’s swivel-base and side USB port that the XBR6 lacks. Of course the new Sony 32″ XBR9 1080p LCD has since hit the market, in mid-March ’09, (just as I decided on the close-out of the 2008 model XBR6) and does offer the side USB port for playing digital photos and music off a flash-drive.
Simply the Best

I’ve owned nothing but Sony TV’s since the 70′s.Always excellent and never any problems.
This 32 XBR is no exception. Picture quality is the best of any 32″ I tested, the design of the set is superb.Even non high def channels look great.
Higly recommended!
Usual Sony Quality
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
After looking and comparing HDTV’s for several months I finally decided to opt out for top quality as opposed to size… I have always been very happy with Sony products and this is no exception… I am well pleased and glad that I chose the KDL-32XBR6… I look forward to many hours of pleasure… I was also pleased with the delivery, which was free… Pilot was the delivery service and delivered two days early….

Great TV. Beautiful picture. Made me want a bigger screen.
Sony tuner is best on the market, but can’t use it with the cable box.
As expected from Sony

I decided to get a new TV for the family room and my son’s bedroom, so I did a ton of research, studying, reading reviews and looking at the displays at the various stores in my area. I came to the conclusion that… the Pioneer Kudos plasmas were the best, but too pricey. The Panasonic plasma and Sony XBR LCD were my next two choices. I finally decided on the Sony, but was disappointed to learn that the size I wanted wouldn’t fit in my entertainment center. So I bought a Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ85U for the family room and Sony Bravia KDL-32XBR6 for my son. Both are beautiful TVs with excellent picture quality. You can’t truly appreciate them until you connect a high definition source like HD-TV or Blu-ray. I love the Sony, because it weighs less, has a less reflective screen, a more user friendly menu and sharp bright colorful picture. The Panasonic’s picture on the other hand is warm and natural with life like flesh tones, deep blacks and excellent colors. Neither TV has very good sound, but that’s easily remedied with a home theater system or a less expensive sound bar (I’d recommend the Sony HT-CT100). I’d go with the Sony if your TV will be in a brightly lit room or a room that receives daylight from windows. Go with the Panasonic if your TV will be in a dimly lit room and you’re looking for a more theater like experience. Either way, you can’t go wrong; both TVs are a fine choice.
Great picture, good value.

After years of our other Sony, got this for a song as a model closeout. Although the sound is weak,as with all HDTV reviews, with the home theatre set up it’s an exceptional TV. Twenty years of loving Sony TVs.
Nice LCD TV –Honestly Speaking
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I ordered this TV after many weeks of research on the net. I have only had it now for few weeks and nothing compares to it- honestly speaking.The picture and sound are crisp clear – a true 1080 pixel quality. With an upscaling DVD player you are sure to watch a HD quality picture just with a normal DVD. The picture quality for sure is much better than that of 720p TV.
Though expensive(almost twice the price of a 720p sony M or L series, anybody who wouldn’t compromise quality should go for the XBR series instead of M or L series if he/she can afford it.However am hoping it will be able to stand a test of time (ie durable). I recommend it.
My 32″ Monitor
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I had been shopping the market for a good TV for months before I settled on this Bravia. My size requirements and budget limited me to a TV in the 32-37″ range, and the opened box deal was too good to pass up. Ideally, I would have rather bought a plasma for the richer colors, but because of my plans to use this as a replacement computer monitor, and because I leave my computer on a lot, I went with an LCD for its smaller size and to avoid the dreaded “burn in”. I have my 360 and PS3 hooked up to it, and both look absolutely stunning, but the awesomeness of having this as my computer monitor trumps them both! I tried a number of set-ups to achieve this and found that buying a DVI to HDMI cable ($20 here on amazon) is the best solution, and the quality is, near as makes no difference, the same or better than a standard monitor. The TV does require a little bit of settings-fiddling to get the screen to fit properly, but it only took a few minutes of digging through the immense properties menu. Also, you have to make sure your video drivers are fully up-to-date, and there may even be additional HDTV drivers to download, depending on the make of your video card.
To anyone looking for an HDTV-computer monitor solution, I highly recommend this TV and the DVI to HDMI cable. This, on top of the 1080p graphics from an Xbox or PS3 make this TV worth it. I can’t wait to get my HDTV cable box from Comcast and complete the whole package.
One of my more tasteful reviews
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
So here is the bottom line on this Sony…
1. Beautiful appeal, the product simply leaps out of the box it will actually look better then described.
2. The options truly due seem limitless, picture, screen, sound, and more with stunning capabilities to adjust even the very finest of viewing detail.
3. The TV menu (if you like the PS3 styling) is wonderful and currently supasses most of what is on the market.
4. When other reviewers speak of 3D like picture quality yes this is very true, the color reproduction of this TV is outstanding and with the Bravia Engine 2 you will enjoy very life like images.
5. The TVs internal software is updatable with a USB stick there is one update available at the time of this review, very neat feature.
6. The built in TV Guide feature is amazing with listings for almost every channel, it will tell you whats on and whats next with many search features (need not apply for those of you with cable boxs)
7. Many inputs and ways to select them very simple and easy to use.
8. The TV will dim/adjust the screen brightness based on the lighting in your room.
Issues noticed:
1. The TV will create a “new plastic odor” when turned on for the first couple weeks however this is not an issue for most people since the smell is not too strong and is that of just plastic.
2. The software runs a tad slow and will lag minorly but is well worth it for its capabilites, also the TV takes a few moments to load.
3. The TV will give off a slight hummmm while turned on this can be very irritating in a quite room.
4. I received a complimentary small scratch on the stand that came with mine, just a thought for the QC conscious
For those who are wondering the digtal compression artifacts and picture judder (MPEG noise) etc is very tolerable on this TV with many options to smooth out such things, also channel changing SD to SD is fairly quick.
In summation this TV is a good buy, lots of inputs and nice styling with solid performance to back it up.
As always, happy shopping =)
