Sony KDL-32M4000 Description:


32" Class BRAVIA M Series LCD Flat Panel HDTV (31.5" diagonal) - Black



The simple and elegant KDL-32M4000 HDTV brings with it BRAVIA Theatre Sync (HDMI-CEC) for easy, one-touch management of compatible Sony products, ACE contrast enhancement for better shadow detail, and BRAVIA Engine 2 for crystal clear picture quality. And with two HDMI inputs, an additional two component inputs, as well as a PC input you now have up to five different ways to make sure you see HD-level picture quality on the screen. Surrounding all this technology is the sleek, sophisticated design that has been a hallmark of the M-series and Sony televisions. Also available in red, brown and white.

Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE)


Part of the cinematic drama in film-making comes from details found in shadows and dark areas of the picture. Sony’s Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) uses real-time image processing to dynamically adjust backlight levels for improved contrast without masking details the filmmaker intended you to see. ACE delivers deep blacks in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a difference you can truly see.

BRAVIA Engine Technology


The latest version of Sony’s respected BRAVIA Engine fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique SONY algorithms to significantly reduce noise and produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images... Dynamic Noise Reduction: Intelligently identifies and dramatically reduces noise in the signal according to the motion and brightness of each scene for clearer, crisper images. Detail Enhancement: Improved image enhancement algorithms render greater overall detail. Contrast Enhancement: Works with the Advanced Contrast Enhancer circuit to optimize the contrast for every scene to create better depth and reality. BRAVIA Engine technology optimizes the color, contrast, detail and clarity of every scene for the exceptional performance that BRAVIA HDTVs are known for.

BRAVIA Theatre Sync


BRAVIA Theatre Sync is based on the industry standard HDMI-CEC function and allows your HDMI cable to do more than just transmit pure digital audio and video signals by allowing one-touch control of compatible A/V components. Functions include: ONE-PUSH PLAY, ONE-PUSH THEATRE SETTINGS and ONE-PUSH SYSTEM POWER OFF.

Overview

The Sony KDL32M4000 is an other quality product from Sony. Sony is one of the top brands when it comes to LCD TV's

Pros and Cons

Pros Nice clean image
Has standard inputs on the site
Cons Controls are on top
Sound is not the best, a little hissy at higher volumes

Review

The picture is very clear with nice dark blacks and good motion transition. The LCD TV has a nice clean design, exactly what you would expect from sony. On the side of the TV you have easy to access standard Audio Video inputs, which makes it easier to hook up a new device.

The sound could be a little better but is the norm for 32" TV's with build in speakers. If high quality sound is important then it will be worth getting some external speakers to use. Another minor point is the controls are on top, not really that big of a deal but if you were to mount the TV on a wall, you need to be able to reach the top of the TV to turn off the TV without the use of the remote.


Conclusion
The Sony KDL32M4000 is a great Sony LCD TV, nice picture, adequate speakers, with the great Sony reputation. The price is a little higher than some of the other options but you are getting a Sony.

Review

The biggest piece of junk. I had it for not even 2 yrs and the picture went. I called sony and b/c I was just outside of warrenty they wanted nothing to do with me and just gave me numbers where I can pay to have it fixed...thanks...for nothing! I am not even going to bother fixing it and am going out to buy a Samsung. Customer service did nothing to resolve this issue, very poor since I thought they were a top notch company but I learned from experience that I was wrong and wronged! I don't feel I got my $$$ worth or use out of this TV, hardly had any use since it was a bedroom tv and not mainly used. Don't buy one unless you know nothing is going to happen to it after 13 mos. and if you know that can you email me a winning lottery number???
