Sony KDL-32W4000

Recognizing that style sells, virtually every new LCD these days seems to have an innovative design feature aimed at attracting that group of consumers (and lets admit, most of us have an element of this in our psyche) for whom the 'look' of a TV is paramount.

With the KDL-32W4000 Sony have added a transparent Perspex strip between the narrow frame-length speakers at the bottom of the screen and the main frame of the TV. So that the wires protruding from the back of the screen are hidden from view, Sony have provided a fastener which gathers any connections and directs them down behind the TV's stand, thus out of view from the front.

Over embellishment or nice design touch? a few weeks of living with the 32W4000 would reveal the answer to that question.
