 sonys inbuilt freeview January 4, 2009

Having a lot of sony gadgets,including a high end X-series tv,I found the 32W4000 inbuilt freeview not that good,I had a new digital aerial installed and found that the picture irritatingly pixalates every so often,my area is a very good signal area and on looking at the reception signal on the tv, is exellent.Everything else about this tv is 1st class to sonys usual standards,picture quality,sound,ease of use as well as a good looking tv.My advice to sony is to rectify this problem..I think I'll stick to my sky+.
 SMASHING PRODUCT BY SONY January 1, 2009

I bought this sony KDL32W4000 3 days ago having checked the ratings on WHAT HI-FI which highly recommended this TV.
Without any doubt not only does this sony TV looks good but it also performs astonishingly well.
Very happy with this product just transformed my living room.
I would say if you are looking to buy a 32inch 1080p Tv then look no further than the Sony Bravia KDL32W4000!!!
Stunning but needs some calibration December 29, 2008

I opted for this TV instead of cheaper, bigger models simply because of the quality of it and reviews I'd read. Build quality is high, it looks expensive and feels well made - no cheap plastic in sight!
The reason for dropping a star is because if you use it with default settings then you're really missing out. The picture is headache-inducingly bright even on 'standard' and the sound is rather flat. If you're prepared to spend a few minutes tweaking the brightness / contrast / backlight with the aid of something like the THX optimiser then you'll be treated to one of the finest picture's to be had from a 32" TV. Also the BBE sound is much better than the 'dynamic' option which is the default.
I was sceptical about how useful all the features like 'Live Colour' and 'Advanced Contrast' were, and they have mixed results. Live Colour seems to only affect peoples' faces and tends to make them look a bit red, but the Advanced Contrast Enhancer is really worth it. It manages to really enhance dull scenes while not making already well lit scenes look too contrasty. The 'Reduced Power' option is good for the conscience, although all it seems to do is dim the screen a bit. The 'Light Sensor' is a bit hit-and-miss too, it seems to reduce brightness and contrast thus undoing all your good work in calibrating it. The 'Sony' logo is lit up by default, thereby wasting power and distracting your attention from the screen. Thankfully you can turn it off. Also, be aware of the power usage in stand-by mode. It tells you something like 0.19W but with the default settings it's something like 0.66W for 3 hours after you turn it off, then it drops to 0.19W. If you disable the 'quick start' then it's 0.19W all the while, but you can turn it off properly at the TV itself, then it's 0W anyway.
All in all this is an absolutely awesome TV, but it needs a lot of tweaking to get the best from it. Many of the default settings are pants and are designed more for shop floors than living rooms. If you don't like the idea of sitting down with the manual and going through all the settings seeing what each one does and how it effects the image, then you're better off with a cheapo TV since out-of-the-box, this one is nothing special.
SONY KDL32W4000 - FABULOUS December 28, 2008

We purchased from Amazon early in December and are delighted with the picture and sound quality.
We are not technically minded or knowledgeable. This t.v. was virtually plug in and go, automatically selecting the appropriate channels during setup. This is our first LCD t.v. and we think it is absolutely fantastic, as do our teenage children.
I am writing this to give confidence to others like us (none technically aware) as we found these reviews useful.
Price and delivery excellent.

Ordered this TV as a present and the following day, on time, it turned up !! Our son opened it up on Christmas morning and his face said it all !! We mounted it on its swivel bracket and switched ON; within minutes ,it was set up with all channels and his PS3. Absolutely brilliant picture and absolutely brilliant service and price from Amazon. Well done !!! Five Star !!!
