 Sony 32W5500 April 16, 2009

Our CRT had served us well for the last 13 years, but I'd resisted the urge to upgrade to a HD screen until I had too. The good news is the CRT died last week after giving out a few warning signs.
I've spent many an hour scouring sites & forums looking at who, what, when, how, why. etc!
The Sony won me over in the end - I didn't mind spending a few quid more for the 100 Hz after seeing a V & a W side by side showing some fluttering flags, the W was clearly smoother.
I was concerned by the reports of ghosting/clouding on these panels, but I'm please to say that my screen exhibits no issues. Not sure if the 32" screen has these issues or if I'm just a lucky one.
Out of the box the settings look excellent, a touch bright, but all in all a vast improvement over the crt as you'd expect.
I've hooked up my BT Vision box, which upscales to 1080i & the freeview picture is stunning. Almost 3D!
Overall I'm really impressed with the screen & happy with the purchase - I felt sick pressing the "BUY" button, but I feel I certainly have done the right thing.
Amazing piece of kit March 31, 2009

After 13 years of loyal service, our 29" Toshiba CRT finally gave up the ghost so, after much research, we decided on the new W5500 32" (turns out we could have fitted the 37" model, but there you go). Just a brilliant TV all round - amazing features, great picture, relatively good sound from the set's own speakers and a whole bunch of connective genius going on at the back. One gripe (which may not be anything to do with the TV) is that I've got an LG DVD recorder with HD upscaling capability connected to it with a gold plated Belkin HDMI and, whilst the picture even in upscaled 1080p is brilliant, there is a 1-2mm bright blue vertical band running the full lenght of the far right hand side of the screen. This only happens in 1080p, 1080i and below are fine. I've tried using different HDMI ports, changing the horizontal shift (which doesn't work in HDMI mode) and anything else I could think of, but to no avail. I've contacted Sony about this, but in the meantime if anyone knows how to get round this problem I'd love to know!
Anyway, back to the TV - colours are rich and vivid and it's a doddle to set up, so easy in fact that within 15 minutes of plugging in it had set itself up with no more than a few button presses from me. I've yet to play about with the more complex settings and applications, but everything considered I think the only thing this set is missing is a third scart socket, otherwise it can do pretty much anything else you want it to.

Bought this set on Tuesday, delivered Friday. Absolutely brilliant! Mr Parkin York
The best bargain I have purchased. This TV (Hannspree) looks and sounds better then the well known brands, but at half the price £299. Thanks!
