Panasonic TC-L32U22 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

The Panasonic TC-L32U22 is a 32 inch LCD HDTV that looks great in a small room setting. It has great picture quality, crisp and clear, and the colors look vibrant! Although the design isn’t the sleekest it’s a simple black that won’t clash with any decor. This TV is great for anyone looking for an awesome name-brand at a low price. At $406.44 it’s worth considering especially with the great picture quality. The 20,000:1 contrast ratio gives a nice deep black and bright white while the VIERA Image Viewer allows JPEG image slideshows to play directly from an SD memory card. This one would be great for a DVD or BluRay hookup.

Toshiba 32E200U 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

The Toshiba 32E200U isn’t a true 32 inch LCD TV as it only measures out at 31.5” but I doubt you’ll miss that extra half inch. With full 1080p HD resolution and DynaLight backlight control that adjusts for deeper black levels and for higher dynamic contrast and a more realistic picture this TV brings you into the screen like no other TV before. It’s photo frame capability allows for showing off your digital photo slideshows and the USB connection lets you play MP3 digital audio from your iPod or other MP3 player. If the USB doesn’t offer enough flexibility consider that it has 4 HDMI input ports (probably more than you’ll need). There are also 2 composite ports, a component port, a pc input and an optical digital audio output port. All this for the bargain price of $419.99.

The digital Dolby decoder offers stereo surround sound and the clear voice technology amplifies the audible range of the human voice so that dialogue doesn’t get buried underneath background noise. This is one of the best 32 inch LCD TVs available this year, pick one up for you and maybe one for the kids too.
