Sony 32". Our 10 year old Bravia needed replacing (it would randomly switch itself off, usually at the exciting bits); I looked at a few 32" TVs as a replacement. We use this as an occasional TV. I was put off by some of the reviews here, but eventually I went for another Sony. I am not disappointed. Picture is subjectively better than last TV, and sound is fine for what we use it for - I'd say on a par with the last TV. We only had Freeview channels on our previous TV, and this one is destined to be used mainly for Freeview as well. Some reviews suggest the inbuilt tuner is a little dodgy; I had no problem setting it up and getting all the channels. Hopefully they stay tuned in! Given the comments about how Goggle takes over the TV if you enable it, I shied away from using my Google account to set up the TV; I did give it our wifi password (which it needs for voice control and streaming), and that was enough to give us access to streaming apps (Netflix, YouTube, etc). It came with BBC iplayer and ITVx pre-loaded, and we additionally downloaded STV player. At no point did I feel that Google had taken over the TV - albeit I have not given it any information about my Google account. Google being Google, can probably work that out based on our IP address if it wanted to. What I was a little surprised at - again given the comments - was that without using a Google account, I was able to "cast" from my phone to the TV. I have a Sony phone, and it used to have a "throw" feature where I could cast the phone on to the TV. That seemed to disappear a few years ago, so it's great to be able to cast to this TV. The cast feature seems very intuitive and easy to use, and allowed me not only to view phone-based photos on the TV but also e.g. cast a BBC iplayer recording I was watching on my phone on to the TV, effortlessly. No buffering observed over wi-fi. There was nothing to do on the TV, it just does what the phone tells it to. Don't know how this works, but it seems like the TV must broadcast (on local internet) that it is capable of being a cast receiver, because without doing anything on my phone I have a new icon within selected phone apps which enables casting. Although this is not our main TV, I did want to have the ability to pause what we're watching. I plugged in an external HDD into the USB socket, and, well, it works fine. Only observation is that the HDD runs pretty hot - it seems to record everything whether you've paused the channel or not - so I suspect it might wear out after a year or so. I also connected a SCART to HDMI converter to one of the HDMI ports to maintain our ability to watch VHS tapes (!) and DVDs. The build quality is fine, no grumbles. I was convinced for a while that there was no on/off switch on the TV itself, but I found one eventually (centre bottom). This TV came with a single remote (not sure what I would have done with two). There is some criticism of the power consumption of this TV. It gets an "F" rating. That's because the rating system has changed. It uses 32W - about 1p/ hour (and 0.5-2W in standby mode). I can't speak for the larger Sony TVs included in the reviews for this product, but I'd say, if you're swithering about whether this 32" TV is a good product or not, I have no qualms to date - it's giving me everything I want, and more.

Purchased this TV recently having moved our current Sony upstairs to replace a TV, from another major company, which was badly overheating and making the room temperature intolerable. First Impressions out of the box TV was well packed and protected even though the external box was slightly damaged in transit as it was in its own box inside, with all cables and remotes. It was easy to erect but felt the feet could have been a little more robust. A little concerned it may topple over if knocked. The TV was clean and unmarked. Quality of Product Sony has always been one of the best makes and this one of several Sony purchase we have made over the years. This model looks well, is a sensible size and has a very thin border around the screen, which virtually disappears when on, and sits neatly in a corner. Picture and sound quality are excellent and can be easily adjusted. Works well with our soundbox. It has all the features of an up-to-date model and includes the more up-to-date channels and apps. There was no problem setting anything up or using the Amazon stick and apps. Wifi connectivity is good and there have been no problems with our Sky and mini-boxes. So far we have been very pleased with this model and feel it is very good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

An amazing bit of kit. Clear picture, good sound and easy to use. Sony do it right. No flashy shiny bits, just good quality. Sony isn't the cheapest but for me, the quality and hopeful longevity will make up for the higher cost. Excent.

Good picture and sound. Some of the buttons on the remote are a bit small and difficult to read. Disappointed not to have a freeze screen button which my old tv had and I found very useful.

The unit arrived in good condition with no marks on the box. It’s even arrived one day early which is always greatly welcomed having large TVs for many many years. I became a Samsung house with a 75,65 and 55 inch TV the latter I have now replaced with the Sony Bravia whilst the Samsung TVs show extremely bright images. I feel sometimes the colouring is oversaturated. The Sony was extremely easy to set up once I signed into Google and yes this is a Google TV. It has plenty of apps there are even 5 freemovies from Sony Bravia that you can watch in the next 12 months. I’m still finding things out about the television every day including and because I have no sound bar I have it connected to a Bluetooth receiver which feeds a separate amplifier with wall mounted speakers. It’s clever enough to understand that if the Bluetooth receiver is not powered on the sound comes through the TV and when the Bluetooth receiver is on it pipes all the audio through the speakers Sony have developed their glass to produce the best results when playing films it’s really spectacular . Interesting points note is that many years ago when Samsung first entered the UK and they were developing their brand one of their biggest difficulties was that they didn’t have superior glass panels for their televisions so they purchased the Sony glass factory and so we are where we are today with Samsung producing some extremely good televisions but in my review I would put the Sony above the Samsung the previous comment about Samsung purchasing Sony glass factory may not be entirely correct however I did work for Samsung during this period so I would like to think I was reasonably close to what was happening.

No doubht about Sony Bravia tv. Excellent tv
