Placement (6.5)

The Sony Bravia KDL-32L5000's ports are very well placed. The ports on the left side are easy to reach, and even the ones on the back are placed just around the left side so you don't have to reach all the way to the middle of the back to get at connections. Unfortunately the HDTV doesn't have a swiveling base for easier access, but on the other hand the television is small enough that you can easily move it to access ports.
