I'm not saying Sony has bad picture, but if you can get a decent price for older LCD, you are not going to find much difference as long as you are getting one from one of these name brands. I use the TV for signals from PS3 and Cable as well as signals off the air. After having played with picture setting, I still liked Samsung better. I was expecting some difference from Sony vs Samsung, not because of the Brand, but because of the relatively newer technology from Sony. One from Samsung, which I bought for 350 as a used product (it's 2 year old product). I have two 32in TV. I also got Sony for $480 brand New. Also, for some reason, Samsung screen feels bigger as well.
However, the dark side to LCD technology is the lag that shows up when playing fast moving games. The LG blows away the Bravia in this sense, in all others though, the Bravia comes out on top. Right around 42ms. I knew that there would be a bit of lag with it, but I had judged it to be negligible from my experiences with an LG 32" I had. Overall a great tv, well worth what I paid for it. Great picture, good color depth, nice and bright when I need it, and HD movies come out crisp and clear.
That can have serious consequences in an FPS style game, but once you get used to it, the lag basically disappears from your brain. Bought this primarily for watching HD movies and playing HD games via Xbox 360. Wasn't a good judging stick. The good news, is that for a 32" LCD, it's actually not too bad.
I cannot find any negative feature on this. Now, I am thinking of buying a game console very soon. Streaming TV shows from HULU & Joost are incredible. My Samsung 22" monitor does not measure up. What an obscenely beautiful monitor it is. I purchased this TV to use as a monitor. The images are almost 3D and crystal clear. With this gorgeous monitor, I don't have to adjust the zoom & text sizes, no matter what.
Compare it with the same type Vizio 32" 720p HDTV and there's a big difference in tuner signal. Love it. I paid an extra 70 bucks for the sony and satified with the performance.
My only complaint is the delay between channel changes is pretty long, about 2 or 3 seconds. Operations are easy; great design. Great TV for the price. Love this TV. It was easy for a single woman to set up alone. Other than that, the picture is great, the sound is excellent (front facing speaker), and the remote control is simple.
