Relatively Hard To Find But Worth The Hunt
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
