Get a 32-inch Sony HDTV for $369.99
This 32-inch Sony LCD has a 90-day warranty and a $369.99 price tag.
(Credit: Sony)Here's something you don't see every day: a Sony HDTV selling for the same price as low-end closeout junkers. That's because SonyStyle has been cutting some serious deals on refurbished gear lately.
And here's the latest: a Sony KDL32L500 32-inch LCD HDTV for $369.99 shipped.
This is a 720p flat-panel (1080 just isn't necessary for a screen of this size) with inputs aplenty: three HDMI, two component video, and one PC. If you need more than that, well, you've got too much gear!
Other perks include dynamic backlight control, which automatically adjusts image brightness, and support for various other Sony products via Bravia Link (so you can control everything via one remote).
CNET hasn't reviewed this particular model, but over at Amazon (where it sells new for $450), users rated it four stars out of five.
Because this is a refurb, the warranty expires after 90 days--pretty typical for a deal like this. I wouldn't let that stop me from scooping up what looks to be a very nice 32-inch HDTV for an unusually low price.

Just though I'd point out a somewhat humorous incident in reading Rick's write-up. I read this line three times, "with inputs aplenty: ", and each time, in my head, I said, "with inepts aplenty".
I'm sure just a Freudian slip of the mind... right?

(7 Comments)I enjoy your posts but would appreciate if your headlines outright specify NEW or REFURB.
Keep the deals coming.
Thanks and have a nice day!
