5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great TV, May 11, 2011

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA KDL32EX523 32-Inch 1080p LED HDTV with Integrated WiFi, Black (Electronics)
I spent months researching for a replacement TV in the master bedroom and finally settled on the Sony KDL32EX523. Set up was a snap – and I did it twice as I did not have a DVR in my bedroom – so I originally connected the TV directly to my Comcast cable (no box or DTA) and it was able to grab all my channels (I do not subscribe to premium services like HBO). A few days later, I added the DVR and was channel surfing in no time. (Well – actually had issues with Comcast to get their own DVR to receive their own signals, so a 1 star rating for Comcast – dang near switched to Direct TV during that process.) Adding the Sony to my wireless network was as simple as entering my network password into the TV (this model Sony has built in wireless – no need for external USB device), just like adding a computer – join the network it found, type in the password, and boom – connected. Initializing the TV to work with my Netflix account was just as simple – I logged into my Netflix account with my laptop – input the code from the TV – and boom – the TV blinked and was instantly added to Netflix. This Sony streams Netflix content better than my TIVO DVR in the other room which is right next to my wireless hub. Picture quality is great – no issues with viewing angle, no high pitched power supply sounds. I do not want to sound like a Sony commercial, but for my use, this is one great TV.
