Taking the measure of the Sony Bravia KDL32V5500 TV is a fairly straightforward and pleasant task. For starters, it’s a thirty-two inch (32″) LDC (liquid crystal display) television that presents its picture on a fine flat panel screen. It’s also fairly friendly to its users and designed to be intuitive when it comes to those users operating the unit on their own. It being a Sony, it presents full features and a reasonable price, too.

This particular model of Sony can be either wall-mounted - through use of a bracket - or set up on its supplied stand. The UK’s Energy Savings Trust, a government-founded non-profit dedicated to fighting climate change, has given it a “recommended buy” due to the energy efficiency qualities its manufacturer has built into it.

The KDL32V5500 comes with impressive high-definition (HD) capabilities. It also features top-level contrast and color recreation ability, which helps to give it an extremely sharp picture. Sony also includes a home networking function on this model that allows the television to show movies from any DLNA-type PC, even if it’s located in another room.

The HD presentation comes in so well because of its pixels, which are a strong 1920×1080. It also has the Bravia 3 Engine technology for which Sony is so famous. The Bravia 3 enables the television to put out crisp and clear images that are also lustrous in depth and contrast. The tone and sharpness of color is top-level all throughout the screen, for a fact. To top things off, the TV can also act as a digital picture frame when not being used as a television.

That digital picture frame function is certainly a fine way to show off the latest vacation or family photos, and in 32-inch super-sharp color. Backing all this up, the Bravia features 4 HDMI (2 in the rear and 2 on the side) inputs which make it very easy to hook up a BluRay player or a Playstation 3 or any other hi-def piece of electronics.

The model itself comes off as sleek and stylish in its handsome piano black finished casing. It also comes with a handy swivel function that allows the television to be swung about for maximum viewer enjoyment of the picture on screen. It can be moved with just a little push, in fact. Additionally, its included universal remote unit is one of the easiest in the industry to set up and use.

The Sony Bravia KDL32V5500 TV comes off as a very complete package at a very reasonable price, especially given all the features that this 32-inch LCD television brings to the table. Sitting on a handy swivel stand or mounted to a wall, it’s a sure bet that most any viewer will find much to like and almost nothing to dislike.
