Reviews of the Sony Bravia KDL-32M4000
-
CNET Review
The Good: Produces deeper blacks and more accurate color than many small LCDs; decent standard-definition processing; slick styling.
The Bad: Relatively expensive for an entry-level HDTV; light on the picture controls; subpar screen uniformity; just two HDMI inputs; stand does not swivel.
The Bottom Line: While it's blessed with attractive looks and a solid picture, the higher price of Sony's KDL-32M4000 will turn off many 32-inch LCD comparison shoppers.
