- No Longer Available
When space is a consideration in choosing an HDTV, such as for an office, kitchen, or bedroom, the Sony KDL-32L5000 32" 720p Bravia L Series LCD HDTV should earn a place on your short list. The Bravia offers vibrant picture quality, a full complement of HD connections, and technological innovations that enhance the viewing experience while saving energy.
The HDTV's 720p resolution delivers crisp images that add to the enjoyment of broadcast and cable programs, Blu-ray movies, and games, as well as your own videos and photos. When watching 24p video sources, such as films, the TV's 24p True Cinema mode enables a direct connection that displays these images at their original 24 fps (frames per second) quality.
Compatibility with Bravia Link modules enables you to expand the capabilities of your HDTV by adding a space-saving DVD player, four additional HDMI connections, and wireless control. Additionally, Bravia Sync offers easy connectivity and control of specified Sony camcorders and digital cameras.
You'll have a wide range of viewing choices, as the Bravia offers multiple connectivity options, including three HDMI inputs, two component inputs, and one PC input.
Being green was never easier: the KDL-32L5000 also features Dynamic Backlight Control for picture optimization and energy savings. In addition, the HDTV boasts Backlight Off mode, Idle TV Standby, and other power-saving modes. It's no surprise that the Bravia exceeds Energy Star Version 3.0 requirements.

Comments about Sony KDL-32L5000 32" 720p Bravia L Series LCD HDTV:
Product came with good packing. It took only 15 minutes for me to assemble (attach stand and arrange) it. Initial setup is also verry easy. I used internal HDTV antenna and it gives amazing picture quality for over the air channels.(Specially for HD channels like CBS, ABC etc.) Also, using HDMI connection I connect my laptop to TV for online programming. Also, i do watch CD/DVD movies using computer drive and picture quality is amazing. I am not sure how much difference does it make by 720p since never tried Blu ray movies on this TV. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase. And the price that I purchase it makes great deal. I will definately recommend this to my friends.

Comments about Sony KDL-32L5000 32" 720p Bravia L Series LCD HDTV:
I'm a low tech guy, so take this for what it's worth. Overall, I'm very happy with TV.[...] has worked flawlessly.One very pleasant surprise was the great sound quality. I really didn't expect that. My only complain is a minor one. I wish it had a swivel base. I like to adjust the angle, depending on where I am in the room and a swivel base would make it so much easier.If I had it to do over, I would still purchase this product.

Comments about Sony KDL-32L5000 32" 720p Bravia L Series LCD HDTV:
I bought this tv as a Christmas gift for my mother. It is essentially the same tv I use daily. The picture is sharp and the controls easy to use. The volume control went just high enough to suit my mother, who is deaf in one ear. She is delighted with the gift and has adjusted nicely to viewing in wide screen mode.
I ordered the tv online, at night, and had it shipped directly to her home. I was happily surprised to konow that it arrived just two days later. B&H is an efficient, reliable vendor and I would not hesitate to order from them again or recommend them to others.

Comments about Sony KDL-32L5000 32" 720p Bravia L Series LCD HDTV:
Love everything about this TV except this: My other Bravia - 26" - allows you to control the volume of the audio outputs but this unit - the 32" Bravia - does not. A pain in the neck. Why? It took someone to decide to remove a function that is extremely simply, easy to use and could not have created any significant expense in construction. The sound through the TV speakers is lame at best so I, like many others I'm sure, patch the sound into some kind of sound system. Love Sony and this unit but am constantly amazed at the little decisions they make that are bound to annoy.

Comments about Sony KDL-32L5000 32" 720p Bravia L Series LCD HDTV:
Purchased the TV to be wall-mounted in the exercise room. It's the perfect size. No complaints or regrets whatsoever. The picture is fantastic and the sound is good. Overall, the TV is probably too nice for where it is, however, for the cost, the purchase was a no brainer.

Comments about Sony KDL-32L5000 32" 720p Bravia L Series LCD HDTV:
Of all the basic 720p models, this picture is very good and the color accuracy is excellent. That makes this model an excellent choice, especially for the bedroom or den. The sound reproduction is definitely one of the better models available. You will be very happy with your purchase.
Comments about Sony KDL-32L5000 32" 720p Bravia L Series LCD HDTV:
This Sony delivers as promised. I recently purchased and returned a name brand hdtv. Even though the reviews were very good and the price to good to be true, it did not deliver as advertised. The Sony KDL 32L5000 does deliver for only $50 more. Don't play around, get this tv.
