 32D vs 32S February 14, 2008

Had the 32 S for about a week and the retailer I bought it from said if not happy with the picture they'd replace it - I could nt get a decent image from Sky or from a Denon S301 upscaling DVD - so took it back and replaced with 32 D - and the difference was amazing - bright colours deep blacks - great DVD images - great TV

I own an 'old' Sony KV-32FX60U CRT television, and have been studying 'form' for an LCD replacement. I decided against going for a 1080p 40" for two reasons: 1) Most of the television we watch is Standard Definition (SD), so SD tv on a 1920x1080 tv without any kind of onboard upscaling facility for television signals (NOT DVD!) is going to look kak. 2) If the argument against (1) is that HD tv will be prevalent by 2012, then I might as well wait and invest in an OLED TV. br / br /So, I read the reviews and everyone says how good SD is on a KDL32D3000. Well, I have news for you, my friends. We visited our local retailer and, after spending 20 minutes convincing him that, yes, we really did want to see an SD digital tv sample, the evidence was there for all to see... If Sony think I am going to part with my hard-earned cash to watch an SD picture that is inferior in every way to my old CRT, then I'm insulted. br / br /If you have a gargantuan Blu-Ray collection, or spend most of your time on a PlayStation 3 - then be my guest, but if you, like the majority, just wanna watch tele, and picture quality is important to you, then forget all about LCD until someone builds an upscaling capability into the TV...

I've had my 32D3000 for one month and think it's fantastic. Blu-ray and normal DVDs are both superb (NB - I had not previously appreciated that Bluray / HDDVD only show their real benefit on screen sizes a bit bigger than this as DVD playback is so good). I do not use the Freeview tuner but the picture quality from my cable box is better than expected. There is absolutely no blockiness or strange misinterpretation of colour that I've seen on some other LCD TVs. br / br /To anyone who's worried about their new LCD TV being too big I can only say that with a good quality TV like this it is not the issue you might think. I've gone from almost buying 26" to thinking 32" might be too small. Plus the Sony is not flashy-looking and is therefore inconspicuous when turned off.

Took delivery of the 32D3000 two days ago and I'm not yet convinced I did the right thing in discarding my (admittedly small - only 20" 4:3) Sony Trinitron CRT. It's not that the picture quality's terrible, it's just not what I was hoping for, especially when so many other reviewers are raving about it. Maybe I haven't yet worked out how best to tweak the settings to get the best picture, but I can't help feeling that with SD feeds (TV via Sky+, occasional Freeview, no PS3, non-HD DVD) I'd have been better off sticking with the old equipment. Certain things do seem to work well. The Theatre setting on the remote looks very good with a Freeview feed, and DVDs play well, but these positive points aren't balanced by the negative: lack of definition (especially in on-screen lettering, such as sub-titles), dull colours (and this a Bravia - its main selling point), a marked graininess in the picture quality, and a very washed-out look to the picture when viewing from more than 15 or so degrees from straight on. br /Certain things I wasn't expecting to improve or even stay the same - sports action, for example, for well documented reasons - but there's a very noticeable deterioration in picture quality in some unexpected areas. 'The Palace', for instance (an ITV show probably filmed on videotape but upgraded digitally to look like film), looks as if it's been shot using the worst '70s era 625-line UHF video. br /I'm frankly flummoxed - have I been sold a pup? Is there a technical fault with this specific television? Is it the fault of the Sky signal? Or - more cynically - is the whole LCD/Plasma thing just a case of Emperor's New Clothes, a supremely successful effort by the manufacturers to quadruple their margins while convincing a gullible public to accept a picture that's half as good as CRT? br /One thing is very evident: BBC1 on Freeview looks very good indeed, and much, much better than pictures from the Sky feed. So maybe it's that. In which case, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to improve the quality of the Sky input (on the basis of garbage in, garbage out)? Or how to set up the TV to make the most of an inferior feed? br /Incidentally, everything else about the buying process, initial set up, etc can't be faulted: excellent price, prompt delivery, five minute set up out of the box - all good. It's just that picture quality... br /And apologies if this appeal for advice is against the spirit of the Amazon review board - it's not meant to be subversive, just a request for a pointer to a site that might be able to help. Thank you in advance.
