What a pleasant surprise! I was looking for a 32" HDTV to put in our guest room so that overnight visitors could watch some TV from the bed before calling it a night. The 32" size seemed appropriate given the distance of the TV from the viewing area. I didn't want to add another cable box to our Xfinity contract since the room is not used enough to justify the cost, so I ordered Amazon's "Best Seller In Antennas", the 1byone HDTV Antenna with a 50 mile range. As is usual for me, I did a lot of research on various blogs, Best Buy, and Amazon itself. All the features I was looking for were found on this particular set, as well as a great price. In fact, it had sold out on Best Buy. It seemed as though many reviewers believed that this set provided up to 1080p reception rather than 720p. Based on my usage so far IT DEFINITELY PROVIDES 1080p PROGRAMMING. Not only that, but with this particular 1byone antenna I was able to receive 44 different channels. That was another big surprise. This Sony came well protected in its packaging, which proved to be very important since the delivery service (to be unnamed but starts with "F") dropped the unit by mistake while putting it over our entry gate. It was easy to unpack, install the base mount, and then hook up to the HDTV antenna. I had a bit of difficulty getting it to recognize the antenna, but once accomplished it rewarded me with an automatic channel scan with 44 channels received. This of course is not just a function of the antenna but is also based on the quality of the tuner in the set. The sound is pretty good but would be improved up dramatically with a good quality sound bar. Once again, this was not really necessary in my application. The picture, especially the ones received in 1080p, is very impressive. The TV itself is light weight, easy to move around, and the mount is quite stable. Add these features to a killer price and it's easy to see why other retailers have sold out (it is a 2015 model). If you can find one and if you are looking for a kitchen or bedroom TV, this should be at the top of your list. Read more

I love this TV!! I wanted to cut the cord but didn't want the smart bells and whistles but something that was still feature rich. This is it. I was able to set it up in no time which was great. The picture is crisp and clear but you can adjust to fit your taste. I really like the way you can adjust the size of the screen from full, wide, to wide zoom so people don't look distorted. I can easily switch from TV to video and watch movies by changing input and still have slots for the HDMI and USB to add other things if I want. The sound is good but not great which is not a biggie for me as I use external speakers (it even lets me adjust them with the TV remote). Purchased a 25 mile antenna and it easily did the scan setup for me (I actually think it learns because after resetting it a couple of times it pulled in a couple more channels and I'm up to 30 that come in perfectly. Not bad). The channels are at the quality I was paying Comcast (she spits on the ground) and I'm not paying extra for channels I don't want. All in all when friends have come over to watch movies and I tell them what I paid they are shocked. I'm not a video purist so this is just fine for my needs and budget... and it's a Sony. Read more

I've never in my life bought a TV before, granted I am only 20 years old. I always got the hand me down old early 2000's box TV's, and i finally decided it was time to buy myself a TV (and a Fire Stick because I heard they were amazing.) I searched for something of a nice size and quality, and prayed that this one would meet my standards. I am completely blown away. The picture quality is nice, the size is nice for a bedroom, the sound is as good as a sound would get on a flat screen TV. If you are big on sound, buy a sound bar. I honestly LOVE this TV. Easy stand set up, easy fire stick set up and cable set up. I would recommend this TV to EVERYONE. FANTASTIC PRICE. SUPER EASY SET UP AND ENJOYABLE TO WATCH. Read more

Nice picture, good OTA receiver, terrible speakers. I had to turn sound up to 80 to hear it clearly. Ended up plugging in powered computer speakers into the headphone jack. Now I only need the sound on 20. Otherwise a nice plain Jane t.v.. Read more
