The KDL-32L4000 is a member of the Sony L series, and from a design standpoint it is a sight to behold. It looks great whether turned on or off. Color and contrast are almost perfect, and so are HD pictures. The set of course does not offer full 1080p...

I love my new TV. I was afraid it would not make it in one piece, especially since I did not insure it. It made it and I love it, in particular the feature of connecting my computer to it and using it as a monitor. I recently bought a netbook...

1080p sold as 720p. Your gain, I'm serious. Sony forgot.

 

1080p sold as 720p. Your gain, I'm serious. Sony forgot.
