kdl32m3000 lcd panel quotation

Adding to this review after 2 weeks of extensive use. I compared this TV to Sony"s 37" KDF-37H1000 LCD projection TV. This 32" LCD TV won out because:

1. Sharper picture on HD signal - the KDF-37H1000 is a little more blurry. (Note the KDF-37H1000 picture is better than no-name brand LCDs). The Sony LCDs had better focus.

1a. LCD TVs have a brighter picture. The Sony TVs have 3 picture settings: i) Vivid (very bright, what you see in Best Buy, ii) Standard (less bright, what looks better at home), and iii) Cinema (softer, more reds and earth shades). On the KDF-37H1000, you have to set it to vivid to watch even at home. On LCDs, you have to reduce brightness becuase they"re brighter pictures.

2a. Motion was much cleaner on the LCD TVs. Sports blurred on the KDF-37H1000. I watched a bit of "8 below" Disney"s Alaskan adventure with lots of white dogs and snow, and it looked bad, blurry and soft on the KDF-37H1000.

3. LCD TV has much less depth. Looks sleeker. I also tapped my fingers and felt around the frames on the 2 TVs. The LCDs were firmer and fit better. The KDF-37H1000 frame was looser and cheaper materials like a toy.

4. Maintainence costs - the KDF-37H1000 will require $200-400 bulb replacement in 1.5 years. The sales people said this could even happen in less than a year due to bulb malfunctions, just like in a floor lamp or any lamp. Note, Sony is phasing out LCD projection TVs in favor of SXRD, Hence, parts for the KDF-37H1000 will become harder to find. The KDF-37H1000 lamps are already $400 (Sony parts are always costlier - look at their digital camera memories, compared to Canon"s).

4a. The complex combination of chips, mirrors, projectors, lamps on a projection TV is more prone to break than the simpler LCD technology. I am an electrical engineer and design integrated circuits for a living.

7. Consumer reports rates the LCD TV reliability higher than projection TVs after looking at consumer repair data. Projection TVs had higher rates of return and repair.

10. 2-3 years from now, I can put the LCD TV on a dresser in my bedroom as a 2nd TV, or put it in my study as a computer monitor. Cannot do this with the KDF-37H1000.

11. Moving - when we move houses, the LCD TV will ride easily in the seat in my Honda Civic. Cannot do this with the KDF-37H1000, which will have to go in the back of the truck with my wife.

Note the KDF-37H1000 is an excellent TV and very reliable compared to no-name brands. Definitely more reliable than the Samsung Slimfit TVs. We just came out of a bruising warranty battle with Samsung, and their reliability and customer service is pretty bad. The KDF-37H1000 does look very good compared to Samsung or Westinghouse LCD TVs, which had cheap and shiny frames. However, the KDF-37H1000 is just not as good as Sony"s 32" LCD TVs. If you want a bigger screen than Sony"s LCDs, go 46" or 55" projection. The SXRD projection TVs had better motion. If you"re thinking of 37", get an LCD.

Upgrade your movie-watching experience with the dynamic performance of the KDL-32M3000 BRAVIA® high-definition LCD television. Enclosed in a classy black cabinet with silver trim and a silver pedestal base, the M-Series makes a stylish statement while delivering beautiful colors and sharp details. The 32" 16:9 HD LCD screen boasts a 178-degree viewing angle-so everyone can enjoy the action. Perfect for any room, a built-in light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to match ambient light, creating a comfortable viewing experience.

I have a Sony Bravia 32" LCD, no matter what input is used everything looks as if it is in slow motion, any movement on the screen leaves a blurry tracer effect behind the image. Also the screen is darker then normal and adjusting the picture does not improve the darker screen. Any ideas, would like to repair myself if possible. Thanks in advance for any help.
