Sony 32". Our 10 year old Bravia needed replacing (it would randomly switch itself off, usually at the exciting bits); I looked at a few 32" TVs as a replacement. We use this as an occasional TV. I was put off by some of the reviews here, but eventually I went for another Sony. I am not disappointed. Picture is subjectively better than last TV, and sound is fine for what we use it for - I'd say on a par with the last TV. We only had Freeview channels on our previous TV, and this one is destined to be used mainly for Freeview as well. Some reviews suggest the inbuilt tuner is a little dodgy; I had no problem setting it up and getting all the channels. Hopefully they stay tuned in!Given the comments about how Goggle takes over the TV if you enable it, I shied away from using my Google account to set up the TV; I did give it our wifi password (which it needs for voice control and streaming), and that was enough to give us access to streaming apps (Netflix, YouTube, etc). It came with BBC iplayer and ITVx pre-loaded, and we additionally downloaded STV player. At no point did I feel that Google had taken over the TV - albeit I have not given it any information about my Google account. Google being Google, can probably work that out based on our IP address if it wanted to.What I was a little surprised at - again given the comments - was that without using a Google account, I was able to "cast" from my phone to the TV. I have a Sony phone, and it used to have a "throw" feature where I could cast the phone on to the TV. That seemed to disappear a few years ago, so it's great to be able to cast to this TV. The cast feature seems very intuitive and easy to use, and allowed me not only to view phone-based photos on the TV but also e.g. cast a BBC iplayer recording I was watching on my phone on to the TV, effortlessly. No buffering observed over wi-fi. There was nothing to do on the TV, it just does what the phone tells it to. Don't know how this works, but it seems like the TV must broadcast (on local internet) that it is capable of being a cast receiver, because without doing anything on my phone I have a new icon within selected phone apps which enables casting.Although this is not our main TV, I did want to have the ability to pause what we're watching. I plugged in an external HDD into the USB socket, and, well, it works fine. Only observation is that the HDD runs pretty hot - it seems to record everything whether you've paused the channel or not - so I suspect it might wear out after a year or so. I also connected a SCART to HDMI converter to one of the HDMI ports to maintain our ability to watch VHS tapes (!) and DVDs.The build quality is fine, no grumbles. I was convinced for a while that there was no on/off switch on the TV itself, but I found one eventually (centre bottom). This TV came with a single remote (not sure what I would have done with two).There is some criticism of the power consumption of this TV. It gets an "F" rating. That's because the rating system has changed. It uses 32W - about 1p/ hour (and 0.5-2W in standby mode).I can't speak for the larger Sony TVs included in the reviews for this product, but I'd say, if you're swithering about whether this 32" TV is a good product or not, I have no qualms to date - it's giving me everything I want, and more.

Works fine. Nice straight forward Channel and app selection screen. Two remotes come with the TV.This TV is by far a much better replacement for the much cheaper Hisense TV I returned which suffered from poor brightness on IPlayer and Prime. The Amazon TV engineer who called said abruptly, “you get what you pay for”.He checked the picture and went.Thank you Amazon for arranging an engineer to call and for fully refunding me the full cost of the Hisense TV even though it had passed its 30 day return window by a month.

Purchased 43”. Previously watching cheaper brand 32”.Quick and easy to unpack and install.Watched, tv detective drama, Death in Paradise which I have seen many times before. Noticed items / details in the rooms that I hadn’t before and there seems to be more depth to rooms. Speaking somehow sounds more, on stage, reminding me of very old tv plays. Also watched, 2 brilliant WW11 movies. Cockleshell Heros and Ice Cold in Alex (black and white). Picture quality excellent which is fantastic considering how old they are. When turned off I have this big black oblong in the corner of my pastel room. I wanted a white frame and wish I had tried harder to find one with a different base. Do not like the design of the stand/s, but pleased to report that the Sony DVD player that I also purchased comfortably fits underneath. 4 Stars because I don’t like how it looks - top heavy.

It’s a great TV. I don’t really use it as google tv - I connected Apple TV to it and the picture is awesome. The Dolby vision profile looks very cinematic. I would definitely recommend getting external speakers as the ones built in are not so good. Overall I’m very happy with it. The TV has a light sensor which adjusts the brightness to current T light conditions and most of the main functions are very easily accessible.I tried google tv but it seems a bit chaotic to me. There’s so many random things and Apple TV connected to it does much better job.

I’m thrilled with my 65 inch tv. I’m watching movies and it feels like I’m at the cinema. It’s a great value budget Sony tv.
