Sony KD-32XS945 32-inch HDTV

Date Published: 10/26/07

The Sony KD-32XS945 is a 32-inch high-definition TV that packs oodles of features and performance into an attractive silver cabinet.

High-definition sources display at 1,080i, and the picture is enhanced by a 3-D digital comb filter and wideband velocity modulation. Film-to-video content is helped along with reverse 3:2 pulldown conversion.

Vertical stereo speakers flank the flat standard-format picture tube, and quick-access inputs are present on the front panel behind a small door.

The stereo speakers are rated at 15 total watts of output, are the audio is supplemented by simulated surround sound and automatic volume control. Convenience features abound, including favorite channel memory, a choice of four screen modes and four picture modes, and a two-event on/off timer.

In addition to audio/video/S-video inputs, the front panel is home to a Memory Stick media slot for displaying digital photos. The rear of the KD-32XS945 has a CableCARD slot, an HDMI input, two component video inputs, two S-video inputs, three audio/video inputs, two RF inputs, an analog video monitor output, a fixed/variable analog audio output, and an optical digital audio output. The remote is a universal model that will help manage the multiple components that will no doubt be connected to this versatile TV.

If you don't have the room for a larger HD TV and a 32-inch set will do, then you should take a look at the meritorious Sony KD-32XS945.



Warranty
90 days labor, 1 year parts, 2 years picture tube
