Aggressively priced for a large Bravia TV ; pictures look great most of the time ; good feature set for the money

Online services are very limited ; some backlight inconsistency ; no 100Hz engine

Extremely affordable by Sony's usual wallet-hammering standards, the Bravia KDL-40V5500 is a good, feature-laden TV. The only problem is that, due to a noticeable backlight problem, pictures aren't as consistently good as we'd like

Sony isn't usually a brand we associate with particularly aggressive prices...

And what's the difference in spec between the 32V5500 and the 32W5500? They don't differ much in price. Thanks!

Sony KDL-32V5500

By Andy Madden (whathifi.com)

If i remember correctly, another difference is that the 'S' model uses the older version of Sony's Bravia Engine (BE2). The V and W models use BE3.
