Excellent set among the class Jun 14, 2009
I bought this set long time ago, october 2007, and I gotta say I'm very pleased with this tv still today.
It's very difficult to go wrong with Sony.
HDTV images are great for the price.
Good value quality LCD TV Jan 01, 2009
I have this in my bedroom. In retrospect, I wish I had waited because prices have come down since my purchase about a year ago or less, but that's the nature of technology. I am fully satisfied except for one minor complaint: the TV on timer (as an alarm for example) only allows you to choose channels to turn on to, instead of input devices (such as my TiVo). This is lame! Otherwise, it is really good and I have no complaints.
Great TV! Found it as a bargain!! Dec 01, 2008
Got this TV as a bargain from Circuit City--its an open box item. The rep said it was returned by the customer not so long ago. I was hunting for an LCD tv since I figured it was now time to upgrade to digital. Found this on the open-item section. Price was reduced to more than 35% of the brand new retail value. I was VERY interested.
I quickly scanned the TV for any superficial flaws I could find i.e. nicks on the body, scratches on the screen, I didnt find any. I quickly realized I had a bargain and quickly bought it.
Everything that came with the TV was still intact except for the box. Hook up wasnt that hard. This TV is just plain amazing! Everything was extremely sharp. If you have digital service with your cable provider, you will see a very sharp image on your TV, although its only a 720p.
The location of the connection ports is placed just exactly where I need them. The controls were very user-friendly, not a lot of pacing to do when you get to the menu, everything was simple. Colors are sharp and solid, no washing outs here. The speaker output is quite loud and no distortion. This is one of the features that drew me to Sony. We have another HDTV at home which is a Sharp AQUOS and the sound output doesnt even compare with Sony. There are times when you just need the TV plainly without using the theater systems and the Sony delivers with just its own sound.
Although an open-box item, Circuit City still offered the same return policy and manufacturer warranty. So I basically didnt lose anything except for a steep discount from its brand new price. One of the best purchases I made in my lifetime!
Great value for price Nov 15, 2008
I am a videophile.
If I am going to pay over a thousand dollars for a TV then it better look really, really good. I've been through two other brands looking for the perfect 32" TV, and neither looked as good, were as quiet, or functioned as well for high-def movies and video games as this KDL Sony model. I don't write reviews often but I feel compelled to share my complete and utter satisfaction. And no, I don't work for Sony... I am just a frustrated consumer that went through two other brands of LCD TVs and was wholly dissatisfied until the Sony. I was having many problems with the other sets, such as blurry picture quality, lag with video games (especially problematic with Guitar Hero), freezing issues during movies, lighting problems in the corner of the sets, and probably the most annoying of all... the low, constant buzzing sound of crummy electronic components in other brands. Good lord that drove me crazy.
So, like I said, this Sony model was the third 32" TV that I tried after unsuccessful attempts with Olevia and LG. I chose it because I experienced none of the problems that I have previously listed that were apparent in the other sets. Yes, the cost is fairly high for this set, relatively speaking. But my philosophy is that if you are going to be paying a lot to get an HDTV over an SDTV then you really owe it yourself to not skimp on the quality and make sure your purchase is going to bring you value in the long run. I have had the TV for about 7 months now and I cannot begin to describe my satisfaction over a product that works as it should and produces brilliant picture quality.
There are plenty of hook ups in the back (2 HDMI and 2 component, among others). The body is sleek and minimal, though rather spartan. It's just a great buy all around. Never had an issue. Never had to worry about anything. Just a great TV.

KING OF LCD Aug 29, 2008
first i must start my review by sayin thanks to the boys & girls who have postes such helpful reviews.second i want to say thanks to amazon for givin its customers the ability to express there views about product that they've purchased.
my name is THADDEUS i live in the caribean on the island of ST.KITTS. it took me 4 months of readin reviews & comparing with other brands. the reason for this is because where i live we don't have best buy, circuit city, walmart etc......where u can go in & see the actual tv, & get some sone to explain the spec to you. thus made me read & read & read reviews. i finally made up my mind & purchase the " SONY KDL 32S300", not because i have other sony products but because of good customer reviews.
THE LOOKS-: beautiful right out of the box, with a neat shape & a black finish. it doesnt have too mush inches on the sides & the table top stand give it s square look all around.other brands have a square shape but an oval table stand, which kinda kill the design.
THE WEIGHT-: its not too heavy, & its not too light. the weight is just managable with a nice balance feel to it.
THE CONTROL-: the control has a precision feel with the right button spacing, which wont have ur finger tied up. the "HOME BUTTON" is very fun to use, also the OPTION, WIDE, & INPUT button give u a short cut to PICTURE MODE, SOUNDS & EXTERNAL INPUTS with have to directly going to settings.
THE SET UP-: the set up was easy for me because it is similar to the ps3 & PSP XMB........"XROSS MEDIA BAR". if u have either systems it should be an easy set up. if u dont it should still be an easy set up.

this is the setting i use & get super excellent picture...even with standard cable.
MOVIES:
well im impressed with the clear, bright colours, the clean crips quality. the sound did a great job for just 2 front speakers & to consider its a 32" tv. you have to see for your self......
MUSIC:
i listen to rap, r&b, dancehall, pop, rock and ive found that no matter what type or genre i listen to i got good sound quality. the vocals was clean, the bass was boomin enough and the over-all experince is great.
GAMES:
i have a ps3 and i have it hooked up using the sony hdmi cable. the one that comes with the usb cable.
motor storm: ive played dust devil, mud pool, coyote ridge and my favourite tenderizer. the mud looks real as real can be . u can see every grass & every srub.
unchared- drakes fortune: the jungle looks lush, the water looks stunning & the level where eddy chases drake in the jeep is beautiful, the light seemin dowm in the trees is jaw-dropin
devil may cry 4: watchin nero use his devil bringer in play never look so good. mission 7 is what i played & the lighting is awesome. when using dante have him do the million stab combo...that is eye candy
ridge racer 7: this game is fast & i never see any blur....ive played shadow caves & lost ruins........as expected the garss is green, the dark in the tunnels is fabulous.
resistance fall of man: when u have the bulleyes its fun to see the bullets fly across the screen. when u throw a grenade the effect is just staggerin...every particle u can see them like u were in the game
NOTES:
ridge racer is a full 1080p game
the setting does aply to all inputs. you will have to set all individual settin to each input...ie video, component 1&2 etc
its best to set the back light to min. setting it to high will make the picture too bright and generate too much heat. also the tv will burn more electricity. if u go too close the tv when the backlight is on high u can feel the heat on your skin.
the volume has a neat bar when you increase or decrease the volume. other brands has huge bars when you increase or decrease
if electricty goes while watchin the tv, when it somes back the tv will automatically comes on. note a good idea, because if u have to go work & you are @ WORK when electricty comes back the tv will be on all that time
u can name your inputs...instead of video 1,2,3 u can give them names like ps3, dvd player etc
CLOSING:
in closin i gave ths tv the rigorous test. i threw everything i thought of at ths tv & all i got was stunnin picture & excellent sound.i just cant stop watchin it..........thats my only prob.
thanks amazon
thanks sony
thanks ladies & gents

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
