Sony KDL-32EX713 Pro Reviews

Sony were right to give the KDL32EX713′s energy efficiency top billing, because this is one of its biggest strengths. That’s not to say that its picture quality is bad – although the viewing angle performance will be troublesome in larger, wider viewing environments, the TV manages to produce a fairly satisfying picture if the user will just comply with the LCD rule of sitting face-on. Greyscale linearity is good, meaning that the picture is largely free of unwanted colour tints, although the KDL32EX713U does exhibit the common Sony LCD problem of blue-tinted shadows, so there’s still room for improvement. Colour and gamma performance are both very good. Black level performance is a little disappointing, with the Sony KDL32EX713′s rendition of deep black instead being a purpley-blue glow. If you want to watch your energy bills and still watch a good quality display, the Sony KDL32EX713 definitely deserves a look.

As you’d expect from a Sony television, the EX713 looks stylish and sophisticated. Were it not for the presence of the Panasonic TX-L32D25 and the fact that the Sony is the more expensive than its rivals, then you’d be looking at a five-star verdict. As it is, the EX713 has to make do with a more than respectable four stars.
