Sony KDL-32V4000

My old Mitsubishi TV was on its last legs, bought during the last recession in the early 1990s the colour display got so dull it was like watching colour TV through sunglasses. It was time for a replacement & I rather fancied one of those slim large screen TVs, I thought at first there were all plasma TVs until I dug a little deeper. PLASMA OR LCD? There is a difference & without getting too technical here are the differences: Plasma Basic facts. Plasma TVs offer superior pictures; they give the viewer more detail in dark picture areas. Response time is the amount of time which is measured in milliseconds; that it takes for ...  Read the complete review

I have owned the Sony KDL-32V4000 32 inch LCD TV for only a week or so but wanted to write the review now so that if anyone is thinking of buying one while there are such good deals on this review might help them! I have never had a flat screen TV before and was actually on the look out for a 26 or 28 inch one at the most as I thought 32 inch would be too big as I only have a small lounge area in my flat. I researched them for a few days but was really just looking at price rather than any technical matters particularly. There were some cheapish own brand or unheard of brands in Asda and Tesco for around this price or a little more - in the end I took the ...  Read the complete review

I have had this TV for nearly 9 months now and can really comment on how the performance of the TV is like. To start off with the basics this TV is HD ready (1366x768 - 768p / 1080i), has Freeview receiver built in, RGB, SCART, HDMI, composite and VGA (for computers) inputs. I will be talking about these individually later. The TV itself looks very nice in a piano black finish and the stand it comes with is very sturdy and heavy. The remote control has all the right buttons, response is fast and it works over a long range. The first thing I remember when I first started watching is that the colour saturation is excellent. I have never watched Freeview in so much ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Sony 32V4000 this year as I had upgraded to an HD box and needed the appropriate TV to replace the ageing CRT! I was attracted to the Sony as I had a 26" Bravia in the bedroom and the TV was keenly priced by Richer Sounds. I was impressed with the style of the TV, it looked very good in sleek black, and had all the features needed, HD to 720P, HDMI ports, scarts, digital tuner and analogue tuner which sold it to me. The TV was easy to set up- plug in all my leads and press O.K, everything was tuned in- no problems. The remote was simple to use, although some buttons were a bit counter intuitive and varied from our other Sony ...  Read the complete review

I bought the KDL-32V4000 in the December / January sales for only £350, reduced from £500. This is my second LCD and definitely better than the previous. It looks great. It has a gloss finish to it, including on the stand and is of a nice size in terms of width. Setting it up could not have been any easier. You simply attach the TV to the stand, secure 5 screws and you're done. The built in Freeview is also easy to set up. You just press DTV on the remote and then use the auto scanner to get all the channels. Sony are known for high quality as this is the same here. I use the TV primarily for Blu Ray and gaming and the picture is very good. It ...  Read the complete review
