Bravia KDL32V5500 TV – A Brief Review

Taking the measure of the Sony Bravia KDL32V5500 TV is a fairly straightforward and pleasant task. For starters, it’s a thirty-two inch (32″) LDC (liquid crystal display) television that presents its picture on a fine flat panel screen. It’s also fairly friendly to its users and designed to be intuitive when it comes to those users operating the unit on their own. It being a Sony, it presents full features and a reasonable price, too.

Capable of being mounted on a wall or riding happily along on its own included stand (with a very handy feature), it also is a newer-generation energy-efficient model that comes recommended by the UK’s Energy Savings Trust. This organization, set up by the government back in’93 to help battle the effects of climate change, rates such electronics for their ability to save energy, which the Sony does well.

Like every Sony in the Bravia lineup, the KDL32V5500 features excellent HD capabilities. Additionally, its color tones, contrast and sharpness of picture are first-rate. The company has also built in its home networking function, which allows this model to play movies from a DLNA-equipped personal computer on its own screen, even if that computer is located elsewhere in another room.

The HD presentation comes in so well because of its pixels, which are a strong’20×1080. It also has the Bravia 3 Engine technology for which Sony is so famous. The Bravia 3 enables the television to put out crisp and clear images that are also lustrous in depth and contrast. The tone and sharpness of color is top-level all throughout the screen, for a fact. To top things off, the TV can also act as a digital picture frame when not being used as a television.

This added feature can allow the television to be operated much like those small digital frames that are becoming more common in most any house. Adding to this model’s long list of features is the fact that it comes with four HDMI inputs, with 2 in the back and 2 on the side being present. The Sony Bravia KDL32V5500 TV benefits from all those inputs, which allow it to easily take advantage of a BluRay player or Playstation 3.

Though the TV itself is a large 32″, it looks very sleek and very stylish. This is due in no small part to its fine flat panel and the piano black finish that runs all throughout its casing and enclosure. It also swivels about easily – with just a slight push – on that stand mentioned earlier. This allows it to be positioned for optimal viewer enjoyment. Lastly, its supplied universal remote is exceedingly easy to set up and use.

The Sony Bravia KDL32V5500 TV comes off as a very complete package at a very reasonable price, especially given all the features that this 32-inch LCD television brings to the table. Sitting on a handy swivel stand or mounted to a wall, it’s a sure bet that most any viewer will find much to like and almost nothing to dislike.
