This model is the 32'' version of the 40'' TV that we tested in our labs, the Sony Bravia KDL 40EX603.
Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size!
The only exception is that some manufacturers fit different sized televisions with panels from different sources. In that case, our comments are only valid for the panel that we originally tested. Contrast, black levels, colour handling and ghosting are all subject to change from one panel to another.
Manufacturers who do fit the same panel in all of the TVs in a range can expect the same results across the whole range. 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 manufacturers, the results of one TV can accurately be applied to others in the range.
Pluses
-
Excellent contrast with deep blacks
-
Low energy consumption: 64 W
-
Low input lag in 'Games' mode
Minuses
-
No Motionflow 100 Hz mode: jerkiness caused by 24 fps in films
-
Image treatment problems create blur in dark areas
-
Narrow viewing angles
-
Media player doesn't support many video formats
-
Not very responsive: 20 ms
The EX603 is a very lightweight version of the five-star EX713. Although the two TVs may look similar, they're actually very different, and the EX713 has a much better display. We reckon the difference in price is definitely justified.
