i like both Bravia an LG (or Philips same company)

I bought a Sanyo and realized my mistake.

Make sure its 1080 not 720.

My wife has one of those VIZIO 32” TV’s on the wall in her sewing room ... nice TV. We have had it for over 2 years and no problems and good picure!

We have had one of the Vizio 32” sets as well for over a year. No problems.

My Costco didn’t have any 32s, so I ended up with one from Best Buy, a 34 Samsung, HD. I need to do a tiny bit of “doctoring” to the cabinet it’s in but other than that it’s great. Price was around $600, unfortunately.

Good luck. I sure felt like a dinosaur going out and looking at new TVs. Like I’m from another century, or a nother planet. Sheeesh.

I’m sure you will enjoy your new HDTV...We have three Vizios and they all are very good monitors.

MERRY Christmas!

I heard the Vizio is acceptable from guys at work.

I just got my daughter a 32 Sony Bravia, paid $499 at Walmart on BF.

Walmart has a Sharp 32 now on sale for $398.

720P seems fine for this size set, she loves hers. She had a 27 tube set.

Only your eyes can tell what’s right for you. IMHO 32 is a very convenient ‘bedroom sized’ room set.

I’d try and get a bigger one if it was me. Huge difference between a 32” and a 40 or 42”. The 42”ers are going for a little over $700 and unless it’s for a bedroom you will wish you had a larger one than 32”.

We shop at Costco every single week, and I can tell you we consistently see many many Vizio TV’s sitting around on flats at the Return area.

Not really a good sign ... Jus sayin’

Sharp makes a much better TV than Vizio, and that’s only an additional $50 at Costco. Also, 1080p is almost entirely unnecessary on a 32” set unless you’ve got it within a few feet of your face.

Thanks for all the very fast responses!

I think I will likely end up with the VIZIO VO32L 32" LCD panel. I've seen the picture quality and it's quite good. (Sure, the Samsung and Sonys may be better but they want US$75 to US$100 more for the same size panel.) Good thing Comcast does broadcast over-air HDTV channels on "clear QAM" so I will at least be able to see HDTV broadcasts of over-air local channels (e.g., I get to watch the Super Bowl in HD!).

I’ve got 2 Vizios (36” and a 22”) and they are both great. The only thing I’d change is the on-screen display on the 22” is really tiny.

But the picture and features are great!

Found this info over at slickdeals.net

Sharp 42” LCD 1080p $699 at Big Lots!
http://www.biglots.com/Specials/W...le=f&p=&e=

I just got this ad in the paper. Sale starts tomorrow Dec 20th through Dec 27th. Doesn’t specify which model, not even online, just says 1080p, built in ATSC, 3 HDMI inputs, I don’t think it’s Aquos though. Amazon has a Sharp 42” 1080p 42SB45U (don’t know if it’s the same one) for $931.95. At CC, they have a 32” Sharp 1080p for $899

We bought a 38” Vizio from Costco about 3 years ago and have zero problems with it....this nice thing about Costco they stand behind their products and usually they have the best prices on electronics

Don’t buy a TV....It just encourages the Commistat leftist propagandists. ;)

I don’t know if they make a 1920 x 1080 pixel 32” or not, but if they do, I’d try to get one of those. It’s also fun to be able to use a flat panel TV as a computer monitor, so I’d make sure it has that capability.
