The KDL-32L5000 is an well priced 32″ from Sony with a 1366 x 768 resolution panel (720p). In other words it’s perfect TV for the smaller living room or for the bedroom or any other second room. with a 13.000:1 dynamic contrast it’s lacking behind on the high end TVs but still manages to produce more then OK image quality. It’s often really important that “second room” TVs are good at handling standard definition content, since most people don’t hook up a bedroom TV to HD broadcasts or Blu Ray movies. The Sony KDL-32L5000 does a fairly good job here just be sure to be prepared to tweak the original settings a bit.

“I use this for OTA. When I can get a 1080i signal, it is
outstanding. What impressed me the most though is it has the capability to tell you your signal strength for the best tuning. Overall, the amount of options make the price youpay for this is will worth it.” – SonyStyle user review
I have this in my bedroom and I don’t get that much usage but I’m very pleased with it. It’s cheap, good looking and delivers a very pleasant viewing experience. Added bonus is that the sound is actually really good.
