The TV won’t read the signal from Time Warner cable. It has a feature to auto program your cable input, but it never finds the cable signal. I can only connect it with an old coaxial cable, so I don’t get HDTV.

I purchased this set for a bedroom. It has a nice set of features, and probably does far more than is apparent considering the technology. The HD picture is great; the SD picture so-so. The instructions (or more precisely, the lack of instructions) are perhaps the most deficient I have ever encountered on an electronic product, including the poor translations found on some Chinese products. The written instructions provide very basic set up diagrams. The electronic instructions are so cumbersome as to be useless, and provide little real information. I have always purchased Sony products, but will probably never do so again unless the product comes with a far more comprehensive guide than this TV!

Love Netflix in the bedroom, loads faster (wirelessly) than my Roku box does on my plasma
Great function and why I bought it.
That said, I am a bit disappointed in the picture quality – I just expected more “pop” from an LCD in a dark room. Viewing angle is horrible, if you go even 30 degrees to the side color washes out, steeper angles hardly any color at all.
Feature rich – happy with that, just expected more from LCD even tho it is 720 I didn’t htink that would matter much in a 32 – my 50″ Plasma (Panasonic 720P) has a brighter richer picture.
Still glad I bought it, just expected more in the picture department.

It is taking some time to get the internet set up, so far I’ve gotten a wifi connection, but no luck linking my accounts, it keeps “timing out”. The instructions that direct you to certain menus is inaccurate and the manual that came with the TV is useless for using any of the features of this TV. Starting to get very frustrated.
EDIT: Sure enough I had to update the software (firmware?) on my TV by downloading the update from Sony’s website and use a USB drive. NOW the TV works exactly as I expected it to! The only thing I have not tried yet is the Amazon VOD – the movies show up but I haven’t purchased one yet. I’ve changed my rating to five stars even though it’s caused a LOT of frustration and was not “out of the box ready”.

I wanted a new TV for my kitchen. Having recently signed up for HD cable, I wanted a good HDTV with streaming capability. This TV delivers.
CONNECTIVITY
It has all the standard RCA hookups plus four HDMI inputs as well as VGA and sound for a computer. To hook up to the internet, it has both Ethernet and comes with a Wi-Fi antenna. It streams Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Video on Demand, Pandora, half a dozen other services, and my favorite – Slacker radio.
VISUAL
The picture is clear and vivid. The new BRAVIA engine does an excellent job. I don’t notice any lag in high speed movements. It’s fun to watch the news in HD and admire all the freckles and wrinkles of the anchors.
SOUND
One beef I’ve always had with flat screen TVs is the poor sound. This problem is compounded by it being in the kitchen with hardwood floors. The sound on this unit is very good. I no longer have trouble understanding what people on TV are saying. The highs are clear and distinguishable. That said, there is no bass and you shouldn’t expect it out of something so small.
If you want a 32″ TV that has it all, you won’t be sorry with this unit.
