FIRST IMPRESSION
Top of the market is going to stand out, by "Hammer Price" offers very high-quality products for one of the value for her. This is the case here. You get the first pitching already the 'wow' factor: The unit makes namely "real" black (for dark and black scenes in movies you think, that unit was off) and a reasonable size for its tone. Especially me as Toshiba owners (40 inches of the current generation) falls both compared immediately to very positive. The device offers so that what you know of other devices from Sony: I had it all 32-60 inch Sony in the test and the quality is consistently high throughout.
FEATURES
Sony focused heavily on the core competencies picture and sound. In the past that was so far a "problem" than that about many things such as HDMI connectors and smart TV are fallen by the wayside. Today, Sony is here not top, but in the "Okay" segment. Important: the factory default picture and sound are just the beginning.
The other negative-reviewed external power supply is another feature that always strikes me positively. On the one hand, this causes the body will not produce much heat build-up, on the other hand, the power supply is so generously dimensioned that it will have even not this problem. A nice feature if you want long what his device. If that power supply breaks down or who would like to use a smaller power supply, for example, a longer cable, the can without problems: The device uses basically a generously sized notebook power adapter.
Nice feature is incidentally also the Stand which can also be used as a wall bracket. Unfortunately missing in the design concept by the usual, rotating foot and the device is not compatible with VESA brackets.
THE SMART TV DEBATE
Some reviewers here go aggressively on the topic Smart TV and the browser used by Sony. Be honest: This equipment is not technically out of date equipment generation. Would it be so cutting-edge features such as 3D, etc. throne installed or enabled and also a significantly faster performance would certainly possible. All this is missing or is on par with other device of this class (and generation), because here you just get a solid piece of equipment from the latest generation with little additional bells and whistles. The picture and sound capabilities overcompensate here definitely also those little problems like the lack of a printed manual with some versions (my unit has a "manual" in paper form and a full electronic manual "built in").
As for the very detailed complaints about YouTube apps and the like, so I have to say clearly läufts slowly, sometimes not (Tip: Firmware upgradeable via the Internet), but that does this generation of devices not yet afford it. That does or she did with other manufacturers also. My current Toshiba is also very slow, for example, for that matter browsing. That is so in this equipment and can not enter as an error of a single unit in the evaluation. Imputable is Sony, however, that they use the Opera browser. The thing is definitely from another (underground) star in terms performance and handling. However Again, for the generation of hardware in a contemporary way.
CONCLUSION
The KDL 32W705 is a very good device for people who renounce newfangled features such as passive 3D and the like and it would prefer to have a TV with outstanding capabilities in image and sound. When people ask me of my acquaintance for a good choice for such cases, then, I refer only to Sony Bravia and occasionally Panasonic bargains.
In my eyes, this instrument is also highly suitable for students and other flat-dwellers. The triple tuner allows maximum flexibility in the choice of the input signal (cable, satellite, DVB-T).
In the overall standings, I'm in a very good 4 to 5 star, more like a 4 1/2 if I hingucke exactly. In the price and class of devices at the moment, taking into account the existing "compromise" (see above) is definitely a buy recommendation. Devaluation 4 stars with an upward trend for a particular purpose.
