Sony KDL-V32A12U
While the war between Sony and Microsoft continues as to who will become leader of the Next Generation console, it seems that Sony have almost crossed the finishing line in the HDTV race.
In an ever changing market Sony are produced something of complete beauty - the Bravia range is esthetically pleasing and will seamlessly fit into any home.
The Sony Bravia KDL-V32A12U looks great with its thin stainless steel fascia and hidden speaker system behind black fabric.
It comes with a 32 inch LCD screen, which in a world where the box seems to be getting bigger than your average house extension might seem small. But what it loses out in size it more than makes up for in the quality department. And what you get is sharp and crystal clear viewing.

The Bravia KDL-V32A12U has the Sony stamp of quality oozing out of every pixel and plastic pore.
