This model is the 37 inch version of the 32 inch TV that we tested in our labs, the Bravia 32V4500. Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size!The components, both physical and electronic, are all identical to those found in the model we tested. The only factor which could be prone to slight variation is the brightness, producing slightly different contrast. According to our own tests, and assurances from the manufacturer, the results of one TV can accurately be applied to others in the range at different sizes.
This is one of the best entry-level TVs we've ever seen, which can reasonably get away with HD Ready definition thanks to its small sizes. Also available as a 26'' version, it's the only TV of that size we've ever given such a good mark to.
