Features Key features of the Sony BRAVIA EX720 Series compared to the LG LV2500
“55
LED-backlit
Rated 80% by by GoldbergNetflix, Youtube cannot be heard with good sound either.....I also recently joined netflix, but the menu and navigation is incredibly stupid & complicated, even compared to Playstation 3.
32”
LED-backlit
Rated 100% by by Anthony (Jul, 2011)black levels are deep, colors are vivid (really vivid,) you can have it as bright ass you want without the strain on your eyes, and all for less than $400.

32"
BRAVIA EX720 Series by c|net (Mar, 2011)We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 46-inch Sony KDL-46EX720, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.
thickness
BRAVIA EX720 Series by Inksnatcher--Sally (Jul, 2011)Super thin with a nice thin stand so it fits comfortably on the TV cabinet and against the wall.
LV2500 by KJHarris (Jul, 2011)I assume this is used because it is cheaper and/or easier that trying to design a 120V to 24V power supply that will fit into this very thin TV.
Performance Real world tests of Sony BRAVIA EX720 Series vs LG LV2500
power consumption
BRAVIA EX720 Series by c|net (Mar, 2011)We did not test the power consumption of this size TV in the Sony KDL-EX720 series, but we did test the 46-inch model.
LV2500 by Paul-M.-Whitacre (Dec, 2011)I like the backlighting An energy saver feature allows the TV to reduce power consumption by lowering the backlighting levels - this I left off, using the automatically saved "Picture Wizard" settings I just input.
