Product Description: HD Ready Bravia 32" S series LCD television features S-PVA panel and Sony high resolution image processors, plus integrated Digital tuner (Freeview), HDMI input, PC input and slim compact design.

From the Manufacturer: The S Series is the latest offering from the Sony Bravia line of high-performance and sleek styling LCD TVs. Features such as PC input allow the user to connect a PC for viewing content in a 16:9 high resolution environment. And with integrated HDTV capabilities, you can enjoy digital programming with enhanced audio and video reproduction. While the KDL-32S2010 is value priced, it also offers an elegant flat panel design to place anywhere in your home.

Feature List
7th Generation Sony® LCD Panel: The Sony® S-Series LCD TVs use 7th generation Sony LCD panels for truly matchless image quality and performance. These panels are produced from one of the world's biggest mother glass to efficiently create large, high quality panels. The LCD high definition display (1366 x 768) that is used offers an astounding 178 degree viewing angle, very fast response times (8 ms total rise and fall time) and a spectacular contrast ratio.

BRAVIA Engine™ Full Digital Video Processor: BRAVIA™ S-Series Digital LCD televisions use Sony's BRAVIA Engine™ full digital video processor for crisp and clear images. Several special picture enhancement technologies are integrated into the processor to create better gradations and details, enhance contrast, dynamically improve color, and reduce image flicker.

HDMI™ and PC Connectivity: Designed for maximum versatility, Sony's S-Series Digital LCD TV line is equipped with a comprehensive range of input interfaces. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI technology supports enhanced or High Definition video, together with multi-channel digital audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction. The PC input (HD-15-pin) offers easy connection to your PC, allowing you to use your high resolution BRAVIA S-Series Digital TV as a computer monitor.

Light Sensor Intelligently adjusts the screen brightness to match the ambient light in a room, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience. In a dim room for example the screen automatically reduces brightness making it much more comfortable for viewing.

SRS® TruSurround® XT: Building on the success of TruSurround technology, TruSurround XT audio adds three new audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience. Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into "focus" during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper. TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself. And WOW widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

Freeze Function: Sony's Freeze Function is a useful function that allows you to temporarily freeze the picture in a separate screen while the programming continues to display. This comes in handy when you want to copy a recipe, phone number, etc. that flashes too quickly across your screen. Simply touch the "Freeze" button on the remote control and copy the details down at your convenience.

Great Service Via Amazon

by Gene Mushak 2006-12-10, 17 people found this review helpful

The Sony LCD is a significantly well-designed package; however, this particular product should have included two connects for HDMI. While waiting for the adoption of HDTV to all locales and the obvious drop in price (currently being manipulated by the mainstay as "premium," but will be mandated a standard in a couple of years), this LCD set works great and has excellent features for the price (plus it's a Sony).

Another note I must mention is the fact that Amazon is simply amazing in regards to returns and replacement. We received the set and the top corner was cracked when we took it out of the box. Amazon was notified on-line and they responded via phone, set-up the replacement, and even had the time arranged for pick-up of the damaged set when the new one was delivered. Additionally, a confirmation e-mail was sent to me indicating that they received the returned item; simply excellent service from start to finish. This is the area in which MANY companies fail miserably - - - Amazon shines and receives 5 stars (*****). Thanks . . .

The TV was rated highly in consumer reports and I have been very satisfied with the purchase. The HD picture is great as well as the standard signals.

The best 32" LCD TV on the market

by Gene Kosobuski 2006-10-05, 196 people found this review helpful

I conducted an extensive and exhaustive review of all 32" LCD TVs currently available prior to making my TV selection. I narrowed my choices to the following: the Panasonic TC-32LX60, the Samsung LN-S3251D, and the Sony KDL 32S2010. All had excellent pictures, realistic color rendition and a fine balance between contrast and depth of black level. I eliminated the Panasonic because it did not have a PC input port which I though long term would be something I would use more and more of. Also the Panasonic did not have the quality depth of blacklevel the others had. The Samsung was eliminated since the high gloss black cabinet finish reflected room lights and you could see window reflections as well. This became more and more of a distraction as I watched the TV since my eyes tended to be drawn to those reflections on the panel surrounding the screen. I ultimately decided to go with the latest 32" Sony -- the KDL 32S2010 and can now report I am completely pleased with it. One additional advantage of the Sony is that it has very easy to read, understand and navigate owner's manual. Setting up the TV was a breeze. As a final point, Amazon (via J&R) had the best price on the TV of any online site.
