Advantages: great picture and sound

Disadvantages: none

Our old Panasonic TV was really starting to show its age so a few months ago I took the plunge and bought a Sony 32 inch HD T.V. I had been looking around for a while and didn't want to pay more than £600. When I spotted the Sony KLD-32U2000 in my local Tesco for £404 I knew I had to have it!

The first thing to say is that this T.V looks stunning! It has a silver surround and can be wall mounted if you prefer. Ours sits on a T.V table. For added safety you can fix the T.V to your table with the support belt included. The controls are positioned at the top so the sleek look of the TV is not interfered with.

The next thing to say is that this T.V was really easy to set up. It comes with clear instructions and a Cd to show you exactly what to do. Also included is a remote and 2 batteries.

The box has a very useful cable holder to keep everything looking neat. Once the T.V has been tuned in it is really easy to operate via the remote. Simply press digital to switch to digital mode or analog to switch to that mode.

Although this is the budget end of Sony's HD ready TV's it has a wealth of features. The 32-inch screen is not too overpowering in my view. I find some of the larger screen sizes just to big but it's down to personal choice.

There are 2 RGB scart sockets so you can connect your DVD player and other recording devices. RGB means that the scart connection will give you the best picture quality available.

There is an HDMI (very high definition multimedia interface). This is basically a high capacity input designed for receiving HD audio signals such as blu-ray DVD players, your Play station 3 or a sky HD box.

The T.V has a mode to switch between windscreen and tradition broadcasts. The TV will automatically detect which mode to switch to.

There is an integrated freeview tuner built in to the T.V so there is no need for a separate set top box.

All Sony HD TV's use the brand name Bravia-best resolution audiovisual integrated architecture, put simply Sony claim that their TV's have the best colour of any brand available.

The verdict
&&&&&&&&
I love this T.V and am really pleased I bought it! The colours are really vibrant and sharp. The reds are deep and rich and the greens vivid. The brightness is near perfect and scenes shot at night are well lit.

The picture is very clear and sharp and that's before the switch over! The sound quality is excellent, as you would expect with Dolby sound. The picture quality when playing a DVD is fantastic!

I think this T.V is the perfect size measuring 81 x 55x 13. I would highly recommend this T.V. It looks good, gives great picture and has excellent sound quality.
