The Sony KDL32W550 0U – An Initial Review

There is a huge range of Sony Bravia LCD TV’s and the KDL32W550 0U is one of these, and they are at the top of the range. Although the 1920×1080p Full HD panel is now pretty standard, the “W” series displays was one of the first.

It is a LCD TV, what else? And for this type of technology the price is excellent; the KDL32W550 0U has a USB port, and Ethernet jack for Applicast which allows the TV to be connected to the internet with full browsing features. The USB can handle all kinds of music, video and photo files and with 4 HDMI inputs you have pretty much got every base covered.

100Hz Motionflow technology, together with engine imaging from the Bravia range makes for a brilliant, quality TV. Retailers are moving these KDL32W550 0U televisions fast at really great prices and this is part of the charm of buying this top of the range television set. Everyone wants one, because they know they are getting a good deal!

The KDL32W550 0U consists of a 32″ screen although it does not look as large as this because of the attractive glossy black bezel which frames it. They come packed with a protective film over all the parts which may get scratched. So one has to assume that these parts should be kept well protected! But this is the way of the world, even out cell phones come with these protective coverings and they get scratched eventually with use.

The KDL32W550 0U is definitely a compact unit so it is ideal if you don’t want a television to dominate the room. Let’s face it, most of us girls don’t want the kind of TV that does this. We want something that looks good and serves its specific purpose. I have read reviews that say the Sony 32E5500 looks better but I really don’t believe this is true.

Most Sony screens have a “Wega Gate” type menu, but the Sony KDL32W550 0U has done away with this for a more innovative user interface, much the same as the interface used by the Sony Playstation 3. This is a very neat concept and I really like it, however other people may prefer the more traditional menus. The menu is displayed with icons rather than words such as “color”, “contrast” etcetera, so they may take some getting used to.

Getting used to the KDL32W550 0U menu may be difficult to get used to for the traditional menu user. Take my father for example, he thinks my TV is so advanced it doesn’t need a remote. I just don’t tell him that I have hidden it so he can’ meddle with my settings. You know what men are like with remote controls!

The video processor on the KDL32W550 0U is really good, perhaps not the best on the market, but certainly more than passable. Most of the people who are going to be using these television tv sets, probably wouldn’t know the difference, it is only if you know what to look for that you see how effectively it reduces flicker.

The Sony Bravia KDL32W550 0U is a great top of the range Sony model, it works perfectly with my decor and was exactly the right price for me. It blends well with my modern/art deco style furniture, and fits beautifully into the corner that has been awaiting its arrival.
