The first Sony Bravia TV I bought was several years ago, a 19" screen size and cost around £599. The thing it possesses is a picture quality that every guest to our house has commented on as 'amazingly lifelike'. The Sony Bravia KDL32EX503U 32-inch has that same lifelike picture quality but also all the technological bells and whistles you'd expect from a later model by Sony.
The new TV took less than 30 minutes to set up (and that includes taking apart my old TV / peripherals set up and rehooking my DVD recorder and video to the new version).
I have a very large, loft-based, TV and FM aerial that was originally installed in 1992. It still works fine with this TV -- all channels receiving 100% signal quality and between 96% and 100% signal strength. We won't actually get Freeview HD in the South-East until early 2012 but the quality of the picture, particularly the nature programmes, is astonishingly good already.
I have a Sony Blu-ray player on order so can't comment as yet on Blu-ray playback. However, the quality of the existing multi-region DVD playback is wonderful and even my old multi-region video machine plays back tapes with exceptional clarity (given the inevitably less sharper playback of the format). Please note: with the latter, I'm only talking about video tapes that are still in an excellent condition.
When I purchased the Sony Bravia KDL32EX503U TV from Amazon, it was during the Christmas 2010 period and for £379. Even for a few hundred pounds more, this TV remains a very real bargain.
