OT: Best 32" LCD TV

**professor** · 10-03-2007, 01:00 AM

I was looking to purchase a new 32" or 37" LCD TV. Since this is a pretty big purchase for me, I did some research and came up with two: Samsung's LN-T3253H or Sharp - LC-32D43U.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggustions or comments. Thanks.

best picture and warranty, especially in the 32-42 inch range.

I have the Sharp 32" AQOS. It had the best reviews for the money.

The Consumer Reports I got in the mail yesterday rates them. I will take it to work and post what it says from there.

I've been browsing for tv's also, and I think Samsung, Sharp and Pioneer have great great pictures.

Sorry. I forgot my Consumer Reports at home. I can have Mr.4vr4cy post the top 5 in each size, if you let me know that you would be interested. That will be around 3:00ish.

Sorry for forgetting!

Edit: Oh, and we have a Toshiba 42 inch Regza LCD. It was rated high last year (I think it is in the top 5 for 42 inchers this year too).

Here's what Consumer Reports says online:

The Top 32" models all with score of 78:
Sony Bravia KDL-32S3000
Panasonic TC-32LX700
Samsung LN-T3242H
Then with a score of 73:
Toshiba REGZA 32HL67

I don't own one yet but if I were to buy one I would get the Samsung or Toshiba just the best I've seen for the money.

PS I hope I don't get in trouble for giving out this "Premium" info.

Anyone know what they're saying about Vizio?

I would go with Samsung before Visio. Visio is a low price point, but quality is not there. Samsung is sold at Wal-mart as well.

I only buy Samsung televisions anymore because I've have nothing but praise for them. I can't, however, speak for the individual model you mention.

**brianhos** · 10-03-2007, 01:40 PM

Don't buy a 32, it is just too small when you are looking at a 16x9 screen. Get a 37 or 42. You will be a lot happer. I have a 60 and sit 10 feet away, it is too small for HD.

**Cyclonesrule91** · 10-03-2007, 01:54 PM

Where do the LG's stack up with these other brands mentioned above? I was thinking they were really hot but they haven't been mentioned yet.

**professor** · 10-03-2007, 01:54 PM

Oh but is there any good 37" LCDs out there? I couldn't find alot online. I wish I could get a 42" but I am planning to put it on top of my fake fireplace. It is only 60" long and it goes back in the shape of a triangle.

If a 32" is gonna be too small I was just gonna put it in my room and buy a bigger one next year.

Hey 4VR4CY can you check what the good 32" LCDs are in the consumer report? Thanks in advance.

I bought a Toshiba Regza about a month ago. Its very nice. If you don't have HD cable/sat then there isn't any real reason to get an LCD TV, unless you watch a lot of DVDs. I would recommend the Toshiba. They also have a 37" one (and 42-46). The only reason I didn't get the 37 was because it was a little too big (barely) for the space it was going in. They're nice because the speakers are on the bottom, so the casing is not extra wide. Check out the Regza, nice picture and specs.
