Sony KDL-32EX40B Review: 32” LCD HDTV

Up for Review: Sony KDL-32EX40B LCD TV. Though Sony is not the only manufacturer to include an integrated Blu-ray disc player, it would definitely attract buyers with its brand name. Sony presented its 3D ready HDTV with such humdrums that it literally didn’t pay attention to the low-end models which are in fact pretty functional and would draw a lot of attention from the average buyers. Sony KDL-32EX40B can prove to be an ideal choice for those who don’t want to invest in two different gadgets separately. An HDTV with a Blu-ray player can go in well as the second or third TV for those who don’t want to create a web of wires in every room with various gadgets yet have more content streaming options. With the monolithic design, the slim and thin TV can easily fit into any average sized room. Its smaller size makes it even easy to hang it on the wall.

Sony KDL-32EX40B comes for an amazing price that is an added advantage. Though if you buy a Blu-ray player along with the TV, it can prove cheaper for you but the easy to handle and integrated HDTV is any day better. Just the difference of few bucks is not going to make much of difference. For connectivity, it has Wi-Fi ready feature that along with the Bravia Internet Video options lets the users stream media files from the internet when your local media library exhausts and you have had enough of your Blu-ray disc player. You can connect Sony KDL-32EX40B to the internet with the optional dongle that you can buy separately.

The Sony KDL-32EX40B Features and Specifications Review:

• Integrated Blu-ray Disc™ Player
• Full HD 1080
• Bravia Internet Video
• Wi-Fi Ready
• HDMI™
• Ambient Sensor
• Bravia Engine 3
• USB Media Player
• Bravia Sync

To increase file streaming options, Sony KDL-32EX40B is further equipped with USB Media Player. Bringing together the Bravia Engine 3 video processor, this model also ensures life like images. There are more colors and an enhanced contrast ratio so that it gives a superior TV watching experience. The ambient sensor and light sensor features fix the screen according to the room lighting and provide the viewer with clear images by adjusting the color and contrast. Though it misses out on the in-built edge LED backlighting, it comes with CCFL Backlighting which also provides fair enough picture clarity.

Full HD 1080p resolution also ensures sharper and more vibrant images. Also it reduces visual noise and enhances color details. Though one can find almost all the features of a regular Bravia HDTV, Sony KDL-32EX40B is a step ahead from those. And for those who worry about saving their electricity bills, this model also has the EU Flower symbol. The symbol refers that TV is completely recyclable and is hence a green TV to own.
