Reevoo's summary of reviews:
Most people can't find anything wrong with this Sony, although it is pricier than many competing products. Picture quality scores highly, with users noticing a sharp picture from SD sources. Several reviewers mention that the sound quality is a bit below par, which could be a factor if you are looking for a cinematic experience without paying for an external speaker set-up.

Excellent picture quality, connectivity, menus and flexible setup. I paricularly like the information given onscreen, as inputs are selected, concerning the picture setup and whether interlaced or progressive is in use. The customisation capability of each input is impressive. The cabinet finish is outstanding. Highly recommended.

HDMI connections should be vertical for a tidier cabling.

None but it is worth getting a cardboard cutout with the size as it is difficult to imagine what it will be like in your room. I think I may have gone for the 40" instead of the smaller version.

This is an excellent product, easy to set up, and certainly lives up to the reviews. Digital picture quality is very good, crisp and sharp with almost no discernible blurring - watching Wimbledon was a joy! Sound quality is better than I expected. List price is expensive but there are plenty of good deals, so shop around.

Can be disappointing with HD experience unless you have an HD source. The improvements to non-HD sources are noticeable, but not in itself a reason to upgrade.

Only one connection which 'asserts' when the device is switched on - its needs more.

Sony quality - this means for a very good price you get an LCD TV far better than any other makes. Whatever you do, check out the sound, you'll be amazed.

Being only 32inch you don't get full HD 1080p but that's the compromise for the cost. Still a very very sharp picture though.
