The Sony KDL32BX420 32" LCD TV is great set for the den, bedroom or kitchen-or even a boat or RV. But if you think opting for a smaller size screen means sacrificing advanced features, think again.
You certainly won't be sacrificing a quality picture. This set uses the same BRAVIA Engine Sony uses in its biggest sets. This is the latest evolution of Sony's processing system for superior image detail, exceptionally vibrant, life-like images, reduced noise and optimized contrast and color.
Another Sony innovation you'll enjoy is 24p True Cinema Technology. Video is shot at 30 frames per second (fps). Motion pictures are shot at 24 fps. That's made showing movies on TV problematic since the earliest days of the medium. Your KDL32BX420 can actually, in effect, "downshift" its frame rate to 24 fps so you can enjoy movies that match the theater experience.
You can also use the set's USB port to share content with family and guests. Plug in a USB compatible device like a flash drive and you can enjoy JPEGs, MP3s, home videos and more, right on your TV. With all this talk of sharing let's not forget the KDL32BX420's five HD ports. You can hook up a Blu-ray player, DVD player, satellite connection and more. As you fill those ports up you'll be glad you have BRAVIA Sync. It's based on the HDMI CEC standard and in simple English it means you can control a slew of HDMI CEC-compatible devices with one remote control.
