What Hi Fi Sound and Vision Fri, 15 May 2009, 9:00am For Expansive specification clean and tidy looks clean and tidy pictures, with motion a particular strength Against Short of outright low-light insight sounds flat Along with the Samsung LE32B650, this Sony is a survivor of June 2009's 32in Supertest.
The 32V5500's got plenty going on: DNLA networking, 1920 x 1080 resolution, and a fistful of digital and analogue connectivity including a USB 2.0 socket all make for good reading. It's a tidy, smart looker with the usual Sony virtues of impeccable ergonomics – the Xrossbar on-screen menus are a step on from most other interfaces – and pride of ownership to the fore. Bright, crisp Freeview imagesAn area where Sony TVs are much improved in the past 12 months or so is TV reception. Motion tracking, an area where Sony screens of all sizes have often led the way, is again excellent here. See all Sony TV reviews All of this is also apparent when the Sony is upscaling DVD pictures. Sony KDL-32EX503 review from the experts at whathifi.
What Hi Fi Sound and Vision Tue, 17 Aug 2010, 9:00am For Nice to use class-leading motion handling excellent black levels and edge definition Against Not as slim as some rivals Ah, old friend, we meet again.
The EX503 is something of a hero for Sony, performing superbly at both 32in and 40in sizes, the larger of which walked away with our Product of the Year Award in 2010. The 32in was only beaten by a more expensive Panasonic, and now it can be found for even less money. It's what's inside that countsDon't be perturbed by the design; this is a decidedly uninviting-looking set. Like others of this size, it's from the budget range and is all about maximising performance per pound, so the case isn't the slimmest and the remote is an old-style Bravia offering. On the inside, though, there's plenty to shout about – not least Sony's Bravia Internet Video service. While we wouldn't be inviting our friends round especially to hear them, we're almost impressed by the speakers, too. Sony KDL-32HX753 review from the experts at whathifi.
What Hi Fi Sound and Vision Fri, 27 Jul 2012, 4:56pm For Stylish design intuitive menus extensive Smart TV content brilliant motion handling excellent colour balance Against 3D glasses not included white balance could be punchier Following a lacklustre 2011, Sony’s TVs are proving to be some of the most desirable sets of 2012.
The company’s KDL-HX853 range has a Supertest victory to its name, and we’ve already given the 46in version of its KDL-HX753 series a glowing five-star review, so our appetite was whetted as we carried this model into our viewing rooms. This 32in version, the Sony KDL-32HX753, is every bit as attractive as its bigger brother. Sony KDL-32HX753: Smart TVSony has tweaked and polished its Smart TV platform for its 2012 models and it’s a much slicker, not to mention better-specified, experience. It’s easy to flick between content and all your music, video and apps are split into tiled sections so you can scroll by icon or artwork.

What Hi Fi Sound and Vision Thu, 22 Jul 2010, 4:00pm For Super-smooth motion fine insight natural yet dynamic colours unrivalled sense of depth myriad features Against Very little, though there are slimmer sets here if bulk is a concern It's still early days but it seems Sony is back with a vengeance in the battle for supremacy among 2010's TV ranges.
The set is certainly up to its eyeballs in the latest functionality and features. Media streaming is one of this year's key TV trends and Sony offers Bravia Internet Video here, giving you access to a range of content once your TV is connected to your home network, the highlight of which – and the one that sets it apart from other company's offerings – is the link-up with LoveFilm. If you're a member of the service you can stream films straight to your set. Sony's XrossMediaBar interface makes navigating fairly easy, and the remote is one of the company's new two-sided affairs - the solitary power button is on the back of the handset.
