    The Sony KDL-32S3000 is a set that has a sharp picture, is very good at standard-definition video processing ,and even offers a few extra bells and whistles that you normally don't find on entry-level models. However, this 32-inch set lacks a few features that might make you consider stepping up to Sony’s other LCD sets. Read more

    Apart from a few minor flaws, the KDL-32S3000 is a very competent all round performer. It makes you think twice about how much benefit is derived from high end features such as Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and 100Hz picture processing. The 32S3000 cannot match the cheapest budget offerings on price, but its worth a little extra. Read more

    A great picture for a great price. Plenty of input options, the only thing that I would have liked is the ability to tilt the screen down a few degrees. Read more

    We ordered the TV on Sunday evening and it arrived on the following Wednesday. The setup went smoothly. the picture is terrific and the tv is easy to use. We connect through our local cable company. Unfortunately the CC doesn't work due to connecting through the cable DVR - the sound is fine but I find the CC helpful for some shows. I am well pleased with the service, price and performance. Read more

    The red frame around the TV may turn some people off, but I liked it. 3 composite, 2 S-video, 2 component, 2 HDMI and 1 VGA inputs. Remote seems flimsy. Unfortunately, you're better off doing some research and finding a cheaper 32" tv or a larger tv for the price of this Bravia. Read more

    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. Read more
