We purchased this television for our bedroom. I read previous reviews on Amazon and this influenced our purchase. Previously we purchased the Sony Bravia 52″ 1080 from Amazon and were extremely happy with the picture quality. I highly recommend both televisions.

Today I go to Best Buy to see the 32″ LCD TVs. Sony 32L5000 is one of the worst two 32″ TVs I had seen there. (Another one is a unknown brand TV.) Best Buy play the same TV show on all the TVs, so it’s quite easy to tell the difference. 32L5000 has terrible detail. Much worse than Samsung LN32B360, LG 32LH20, Toshiba, Sharp, etc. If you really liked SONY, buy some higher level SONYs. Never never try this entry level SONY. You don’t have to believe me, just go to some retail stores and trust your own eyes.

We returned this item to Sams several months ago.

Very poor everything, in our opinion and we had problems with poor sound.

We’ve had about 6 Sony products over the years, including: tv’s, stereos,

and clock radios. The only products we’ve been totally happy with are the

2 clock radios! Another frustration is Sony’s policy of returns, which is

poor. They also have a lot of products with proprietary issues, which means

you can’t buy anything off the shelf for it. We don’t buy Sony products

anymore. Sorry for the lack of all the details here, but I’m typing with a

sprained wrist, and I forgot most of the details anyway! I’ll check with

the wife and ewrite more later.

This is the second piece of Sony equipment that we have purchased that has broken withing six months. The picture tube on the TV went after only owning this for five months. This thing is complete junk and now Target will not stand behind it. Sony is being a pain in the a$$ about fixing it even though it is supposed to be under warranty. Sony sucks and I will never buy one of their products again!

for 600 [...] this is a waist of money im getting alot of stuck pixles,

by pressing on the screen the red dots go away but still its a neusance

and the contrast ratio even on the ps3 runing 720p is terrible there is a noticable line between the color hues instead of a gradual blending from on shad to the next my old 480i crt tv had a better contrast ratio than this hunk of junk

then theres the ghoasting witch i can see clear as day the reason for this is the fact that is only 60hrtz refresh rate do your self a big favor and spend a bit more on a tv with at least 120 hrtz refresh rate

and a better contrast ratio this is only 3000 it says 13,00 but thats for a static image i believe

i wouldnt recoment this to my worst enemy!
