Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great, consistent picture, feature packed, good price
Review: I bought this TV in a store while it was playing the same DVD that several other competitive TV brands were playing... all the TVs were pretty good, but only the Sony was consistently sharp in all colors, tones and lighting conditions of footage shown.

I thought about spending the extra $400 for a 36", but a tape measure revealed that the extra diagonal 4" translated to only 1.5" in additional width and since I was going to be watching a lot of letter boxed movies via DVD, the width was more important than the height... not to mention, the 32" is more affordable!

I have a truck and had the guys at the retail store put it in my truck and I drove home with it... the thing was so heavy, I literally couldn't slide the box one inch along the smooth surface of the truck bed. My best friend's husband came over and nearly broke his back moving it. Getting the white glove delivery as described here on Amazon is well worth the extra $99. The guy who moved it for me estimated that the TV weighs about 250lbs. This is not something you want to attempt to move unless you do it professionally. The sides are slick and there is nothing to grab, so even 2 people moving it doesn't make it much easier.

The only reason I gave this TV 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the enormous dimensions when compared to other 32" TVs. The TV is almost 26" deep and too big to fit in 99% of armoirs designed to accomodate 32" TVs. There is a raw furniture place here in town and even though they do custom work, I still had to get the armoir for a 36" TV to accomodate the depth of this set, leaving a lot of empty space on each side of the set. Perhaps it's the depth and weight that make this set so superior in picture quality... I really don't know, but it's inconvenient to accomodate. It's a big TV but not one you'd want to place directly on the floor like a "big screen"/rear-projection set.

If you're debating between a 27" and a 32", there is simply no comparison. You can have a group of friends over to watch movies on the big set without having people move their chairs closer and closer to the set to make out what's going on. I sit back about 12' away from this set and it is crystal clear. DVDs look awesome on it. The picture is clear enough to be entertaining to my dogs who watch nature shows all day long... they are typically sitting down and staring at the set, waiting to bark at the next animal that walks, crawls or flies across the screen.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: GOOD TV, HIGH PRICE
Review: this high a price is not worth the TV. they just don't match. it is a good tv, the glare is minimized, the picture is clear, but it is the same as other TV's of this type, but for $250 more. Be a smart shopper and look around, like i should have
