Good spot. I was actually referring to the width of the base on the W series (and I have to admit I only eyeballed this). But the 32W base is certainly proportionally larger in width than the 40 inch (this is still the W series I'm talking about). The two were sitting side by side in Selfridges.

Annoyingly, almost all the photos you see of the 32W4000 online (e.g. Amazon / Sony website) are *not* of this model. The actual base / proportions looks like that in the photo of the 32V4500 on Amazon. Have a look on Amazon and you'll see what I mean.

Back to the E series...

Now, I actually like really the base design of the E series - it is slim and elegant. But I find the overall cream colour of the TV and the dark boxy surround offensive and distracting (you have to see this in person - on brochure photos the E series looks fab!).

Perhaps I'm being over sensitive re: the TVs visual appeal (curse of studying Design at Uni), but I know this matters to some people, and I'm far from convinced.

I'd be interested to know what other other people think of the design...
