Especially the color cast in white areas, the focus in combination with the Reality Creation, the gain and bias color settings and the various image enhancements (or usually even -verschlechterungen) adjust optimally requires many trial and error tests. Now the end is it amazing what you can get out here against the preferences yet.
It is a pity the very strong viewing-angle dependence of the display of color, contrast and brightness. If you want to see the real picture optimally adjusted properly, you should move horizontally no more than +/- 30 ° vertically and +/- 20 ° from the central axis out. The image viewed obliquely sideways then looks eg 45 ° no longer beautiful from (light gray, pale color).
The design of the housing is well managed and up to date with the narrow frame. The foot screw despite not quite stable - but adequate when the TV is not constantly moving.
A joke is:
a) the short cable for the power supply
b) the huge external power supply itself
c) lack of RCA outputs for audio
d) the lack of printed manual - it can not be that hard to settle in China, a printed manual for 2.50 EUR manufacturing costs in this purchase price.
For me as an internet-native but first-time users of the so-called "SmartTV" functions in a TV I have to say. Bullshit!
1. If I have something smart and Internet functions speech as manufacturers brought, then I have to provide for the appropriate hardware.
And since it starts already: The Sony BRAVIA KDL-32W705 has obviously not even enough RAM that it can carry out the normal menu features clean without trailer and stuttering. In addition an obvious cheap Prozesser, which is also overwhelmed massively for the speed setting of the menu and the program-switching.
All together an absolutely inadequate performance. Every PC would it return again.
2. In addition these current app hype, driven here to the extreme. Completely meaningless apps are thrown without any categorization into a menu gates.
3. The "keyboard" of the YouTube app (if you want to call it at all so) is not a QWERTY keyboard, but there are simply consecutively ranked all letters - an effective search query in the search field with the remote control, becoming the horror.
Meanwhile, I'm looking over my smartphone and the ... / pair function.
But why do I need to use external devices to a TV ???
. 4. When you finally called the "Web Browser" has found in-house cost-AppStore, it is completely absurd: That's an Opera browser from the Stone Age! You can take the only 3! Open Tabs - more he can not! There are no add-ons, at least install ad blockers. The Favorites Management is also extremely bad.
So one (from today's perspective) Stone Age Browser I already had on my Sony K750i, a multimedia phone from very old days (from 2005!) - That was a so-called bullion phone -. So not even a smartphone.
And beaten 9! later fails Sony in a brand new "SmartTV" to install a better, modern internet browser ???
Since even the serienmäßge browser my now 3 year old Samsung Galaxy S2 can much more.
5. not have Flash installed or installable. So many websites are not properly called.
And this is supposed to be "SmartTV" ???
In the state can forget completely these Internet functions!
That is certainly not an innovation or a reason to buy this TV because of it.
But on the contrary:
By (at least equal functioning) wireless connection, there is now also "update" for the "operating system" in my TV.
And because updates have my smartphone, my PC, my laptop, my whatever expose regularly to the danger then stop working clean (because nowadays updates are always programmed pfuschiger and sloppy and are almost never tested previously that regularly leads that only the user of the tester and then a second and third followed after the first update, which corrected the bugs the first. Only then can you have a certain stability), I have this risk now in TV in automatically and unasked install system updates.
And why not a self-functioning, proprietary operating system without web connection? Because the time for the development of a clean working system today is no longer sufficient. Thus, until the current operation by some improvements (updates) must mature - at the expense of users and users.
Since the last update, the response when changing channels or menu call is equal to some become again more slowly.
Total light and shade - at least one of several preventable and unnecessary saving reasons verhunzte - but at great thought - TV development.
