Sony Bravia KDL-32S2000 32-Inch Flat Panel LCD HDTV
great for over the airwaves reception
The Sony Bravia 32\\" is our first HD TV.  We're simple people that hate dealing with alot of high-tech gadgets.  No cable or dish, we aren't gamers.  We just like watching what comes over the airwaves via my old rabbit ears antenna.  We had an 18 year old VCR hooked up the old TV and decided to take the plunge and get a DVD as well.   <br /> <br />The Bravia arrived and set-up was a breeze.  I pulled it out of the box, plugged in the power cord and transferred the VCR cable from the old TV to this one.  Turned it on, and it asked if I wanted to run the set-up program.  I said, yes and after a few minutes for it to aquire my local channels I was enjoying HD quality.  I now get digital reception of all the channels I was getting before, plus a few I didn't get on my analog TV.  Most still broadcast in the old 4:3 format, but they still look better, more vivid colors.  A local station is broadcasting the original \\"Star Trek\\", series, and while I've seen these episodes many times, I am amazed by the subtleness of the stage lighting on the sets and even the appearance of the Enterprise in space or orbiting a planet.   <br /> <br />The DVD hookup was easy enough, and the images from the VCR even look good. <br />   <br />The two downsides, hardly worth mentioning, but I will, are: yea, the remote is a little cheap feeling in your hand, but not that bad; and the manual could have been written and formatted better, but someone else might easily disagree on that point.   <br /> <br />Overall, a great purchase.
