Sony BRAVIA XBR KDL-32XBR9 is a great HDTV for the range $ 500 - $ 600 dollars. (I never pay full price for the TV.)
The picture is great, good sound from small speakers with TruSurround on. Just turn up the bass a bit '.
Some have complained about the HDMI on the side, but you can get cards that will angle the cables down.
Other complaints about things like the sleep timer, etc., are not so bad. You should get a complete manual with the TV, though. Or the chance to go online and a print.
When purchasing an HDTV, you must consider two things: the image of the TV you are buying and the input signal HD.
Some people are having problems might have something to do with the signal than the TV.
Always check from different sources - cable box vs. antenna input - if it detects a problem.
Which brings me to COMCAST ...
Case in point - Comcast sucks.
Through their cable box of choice, the Motorola DCH3416, you get a window that tells you, on the face, what kind of signal you are processing on each channel.
It is either 1080i or 480i.. There are other options, but Comcast, the window covers only these two flavors from what I can say.
And when you switch from one to another, you get a sound out loud * pop *.
And sometimes, when going from HD to SD, you get a sound out loud * POP *... and then no video. Audio but no video.
So, I also have the cable that goes directly to the antenna input.
Go back and forth between HD and SD channels .... no pop. No problem.
Sony BRAVIA XBR KDL-32XBR9 TV tells you what the signal you're getting well, 1080, 480, even 720.
A simple Google search tells me that this problem has been ongoing for months for Comcast customers, and other brands of televisions as well.
It is the box, not the TV.
Comcast will solve this problem?
Maybe in ten years, who knows?
Furthermore, we have promised in the box Motorola DVR made by TiVo, and we're still waiting.
Conclusion: great photos on your TV (for a good price), the small stuff you can live with, and Comcast sucks. Read more reviews.
