I now have 3 of this particular model, 2 32" and 1 40" and just love it. Easy to setup, use and the interent features are the best. Resently bought a Visio from Costco and returned the next day. Functionality and picture of this Bravia out performs and is worth the extra $$$

I typically don't write reviews unless I sincerely believe in a product. I can't give this one a 5 star for one simple reason. I assume most 32 inch tv's are mounted on the wall. I purchased this as a bedroom tv. The dvd slot is on the right hand side, at the very top. After a wall mount application , it is impossible to put the dvd in without a some height assistance for a mere 5ft lady. It pains me to haul out a stool or small ladder to pop a dvd in. I love this tv, it's trully Sony quality, but the engineers need to find a place to mount the blu-ray for the average person.
