(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Sony BRAVIA KDL32EX520 32-Inch 1080p LED HDTV, Black (Electronics)
I purchased two of these TV’s less than a week ago. I unpacked one so and thus far everything is working like advertised. No problems experienced. Picked them up for a great price. So far I have nothing to say negative about the TV. For a rather small TV I feel the sound is very good and I do not need external speakers. I hooked my iMac to this TV to have it act as a second monitor to the iMac. Here is how I did it: I went from the Mini Display Port on the iMac and used a converter to HDMI, then plugged that directly into HDMI 1 on the Sony. Still have 3 HDMI’s available. I have an excellent picture out of the box but not sure I have achieved the best picture possible yet, but there are a lot of adjustments that I need to experiment with. I would like to better understand how I can obtain a better picture when I am using the TV as an external monitor to the iMac. It is usable as is, but I feel it needs some adjustments to make it better. Any suggestions are welcomed and I will give them a try. I looked at the AVS site to see what I could find as recommended settings to achieve the max potential, but so far I have not found much information relating to this particular model. I use this as a external monitor to run things like “Adobe Help” and on my iMac screen I might be using Photoshop at the same time. I am able to research and follow directions from the external monitor Sony TV. Lot of real estate on this 32″ screen. My model is KDL-32EX520. I also use this set while I am working on my computer to watch TV programs. I will update this review as I become more familiar with the TV.
