"This is a great HDTV. Hands down this is one of the most beautiful displays in this size. You can buy a fancier ultra-thin 32" TV from Samsung right now but it's almost twice the price!

Pros: The blacks are black! When you start it up, the Bravia logo appears on a black background and it's as black as when the TV is off! People say that edge LED lighting will make the blacks truer with less backlight bleeding but this TV is already great in this aspect. The colors and settings are very good out of the box for a few of the styles but need adjustment like any TV. The nice thing is that when you change your input, the TV remembers all the settings for that input! So it's like you never have to re-adjust your settings unless you plug your stuff in differently.

The motionflow frame interpolation technology is astounding! 120HZ with the motionflow is worth every penny for bluray and other high-def sources. That's why I waited for this over the XBR6. I however prefer the lifelike "soap-opera" look, but that's me (I have to say PE or the Pirates movies look stunning with it on!). You can turn it off or have this appear more more subtle (the default). The motionflow is basically a side-effect of the necessity to combat blurriness and the staggering "judder" effect inherent to LCDs. It adds one or more frames in between each frame of your source by interpolating entirely NEW frames that were never there by the TV's processor. technology is amazing, isn't it? You have to see it in person to get exactly what this looks like. Other companies are following suit but I find others like the 32 TOC Samsung have more motion artifacts (basically errors ie grabbing parts of the audience behind a fast-moving player in a sports event and dragging them along for the ride). Sony's Bravia processor is second to none. For upconverted sources not originally in 1080 and compressed 1080 cable, the motion technology is less noticeable. So the overall effectiveness depends on how clear the material is.

This is important--with the game mode on, which turns off most processing, there is almost NO LAG. I am one of those demanding gamers who is very sensitive and complains about miniscule things like how much play there is in a joystick. So I can tell you that there is still a little lag but the game mode makes fast games like Smash Bros and shooters play like my CRT. So losing the motionflow in the game mode might seem bad, but it's only a small difference especially on something like the 480p Wii. And Wii games with anti-aliasing like Metroid Prime 3 still look AWESOME in contrast to what most say. The PS3 does look AMAZING either with or without motionflow anyway!

Cons: Not many but the sound is tinny. What do you expect from such small speakers? If you spent this much on a 32 TV and don't have speakers then you should not complain.

There is no headphone jack. I use a mixer with a control-room out to get around this and it works fine.

The autodim is annoying but mainly happens for me when the room is VERY dark. In normal light I do not see it. And you cannot turn it off but with as many people as are complaining about it, all Sony has to do is release a firmware update to allow the switching on and off of it (Sony, are you reading this?)..."

"I was originally hesitant to order a TV over the internet but I ordered a Sony HD TV from Amazon about 6 months ago and was very impressed with both the shipping and the tv so when our smaller tv died recently, I didn't hesitate. I ordered the Sony 32 inch 1080p with 120hz, it was delivered on schedule, about 20 minutes later I was watching HDTV. The TV is excellent and the 120hz capability is definitely worth the few extra dollars ."

"So I finally got this TV for a multi reason based using. I just replaced my G5 with a Mac Pro and got a PS3 slim for the bed room as well while the older PS3 is hooked up to our 60" Sony SXRD. I needed a larger monitor for my Mac Pro, but also wanted a TV for the room and we were originally going to go with the 24" Cinema display from Apple. Amazing unit but is only for the computer and that is it. With that said, I turned to Sony.

The XBR9 does a great job with blacks and colors so when my Mac is running and im in Final Cut or iPhoto, the picture quality is great (I went DVI to HDMI) and when I switch the input over to the PS3 (HDMI), everything continues to look fantastic. So Games/Blu-ray and TV are great."

"I think this Sony XBR9 is simply a perfect LCD TV. It has perfect quality and a vivid and accurate picture.
I saw it in 2 stores and it stands out from the other 32" TV's. Not the cheapest on the block but if you want the very best that you can get, this light and outstanding Sony will meet your needs easily.

If you use 1080p resolution you will be able to tell how ultra clear and sharp the image is and its outstanding!

Sony, you have done yourself proud with this baby!"

"I had it in my cart and when it dropped to $639 I pulled the trigger. I have it on my desk next to my PC 30" monitor. I am very happy with the picture quality. I called Sony Support and they are mailing me the firmware update on a USB drive free of charge. Pilot threshold delivery was perfect. This TV is currently selling at Best Buy for $999 + tax. I visit Best Buy to see what I'm going to buy at Amazon!!!"
