I am a big fan of Sony when it comes to TV. I bought 32XBR4 in 2007, trusted the brand so much, didn't buy extended warranty, a year and a half later, tv got virtical lines, took it to the repair shop, they told me it's the panel, and if I need to repair it, it will cost me $800 just replace the panel. I was so heart broken, could not look for another tv for about 6 months. April 2009, new 32XBR9 came out, I thought newer is better, because it should have new technology. I got all excited, went to Best Buy and got myself another Sony TV 32XBR9. At first it didn't hit me, I thought maybe because it's still new, 2 weeks has goneby, the damn TV was still too slow, 2X 1/2 slowwer that XBR4 I had before, plus the features, you have to use menu, there's no button on the remote, very annoying, inconvenient, and waste of my money, so I return it after 3 weeks. Right now, I am still hurt, and still without tv in my room, SONY is a BAD name for me.

First of all, the next model down in the Sony line up is over $100 cheaper and almost the exact same TV. This one says it is an XBR, but it does not have the crosslink menu.

I have a 50" sony XBR that I love, but this 32" is a huge dissapointment.

I cannot get it to work consistently with my DirecTV receiver, so it's going back and I'm trying a different brand.

The Sony KDL-32XBR9 purchased from Amazon is excellent and so was the cost, but now looking for a large screen Plasma for Basement Family Room. Anyone have any suggestions, like Samsung or Panasonic and which model?

The picture was incredible while it lasted. After about 14 months my 32" HD Sony started displaying a double image. The TV repair man said it was a bad solder connection that would have costed a couple of hundred dollars to fix. I'm back to watching our old tube TV. The old technology is much more reliable and costed a lot less. Save your money, folks.

to this low. If you thinking of a dummy monitor this is the one. XBR9 is like a India car or a third world country product.
