Sony R420B
TV REVIEW
This tv has been discontinued.
The Sony KDL32R420B LED TV is an inexpensive TV, but its picture quality is also inferior. The contrast ratio is sub-par, it reflects a lot of light, and it has more motion blur than average. At least it has a good viewing angle.

- Great viewing angle with consistent colors.
- Low input lag, which is great for fast-paced games. However, it has quite a bit of motion blur.
- Low contrast ratio. In a dark room, the blacks are gray.
- Significant amount of reflections. It also doesn't get very bright, so it is not suitable for daytime viewing in a room with windows.

The Sony R420B reflects more than average, but the reflections still are under control (unlike the LG 32LB5800, which has a yellow tint when you have a few lights on).

Overall, the Sony KDL32R420B LED TV isn't a very good TV. Unless you can find it at a steep discount, it is worth spending a little bit more to get a better TV.
