Can someone recommend me a good 32' TV?

[dynamite140]

I don't watch TV much anymore except on sundays for NFL football. Basically i watch tv probably at most 2 times a week and if football season is gone, i barely open my television. I also do not have cable tv anymore because i was paying $75 per month for time warner cable and all i ever watched was espn and tnt and the last year or so haven't even watched much at all so cancelled it. I have an old TV that is probably 6 years old and its a 27' Sony but its those big television sets, like those CRT monitors.

My neighbor bought a very nice 40' Samsung LED TV he got on sale for $1000 after rebate on best buy online. The original price was something like $1400 or so but he got it on sale. The thing is he bought it primarily to play those video games like XBOX and PS3. I don't do any of that stuff nor watch movies at home. I basically will be buying the TV just to watch NFL football. I also watch the postseason on baseball and of course the NBA finals as well. The thing is when i was at his home to watch the nba finals game and last week to watch the NFL game on CBS or FOX, the QUALITY WAS AMAZING. It was in HD and it looked really good. He also does not have cable but basic cable so all we get are our regular local channels and pay for basic cable.

I do not want to get a 40' TV because it is very expensive but do want to get something cheaper like a 32' TV. Can someone here recommend me a specific 32' TV that is very good quality wise? I know the best brands are Samsung and Sony and heard some bad things about LG so i will avoid that. I checked amazon and best buy and see they have a lot of 32' Sony Bravia and 32' Samsung. Can someone who has a nice 32' TV tell me what is the specific model they have or what TV to avoid? Does it matter if i get LED or LCD? 1080P or 720P? 60 or 120 Hz? I want the quality of the NFL football games i watch to be like that of my neighbor. Does LCD do that with HD mode or do i need LED? I checked online and see that most of these 32' TV's cost somewhere between $450 to $800. Its around 700-$1400 for the 40' TVs. I don't want to drop $1000 or more on a 40' so i want to get the 32' Tv for now. But does 32' TV's offer the same crystal display in HD like the 40' LED Samsung my neighbor has?

I would like to purchase this TV in a few days so i can hopefully watch Week 3 of the NFL season in HD. Thanks.

You have to go to an arena to find a 32' TV. And they are not cheap.

[InTheDrink]

Go to Sam's Club and you'll get a decent 40+ tv for around $800. I've looked recently and you're not gonna find a better price anywhere. Not to mention if something goes wrong they pretty much take anything back.

[robmpink]

I have the 32 inch Samsung. I got it for maybe $560 about 16 months ago. It is prob about $400 something now. I would get it.

[dynamite140]

What is the name of the model you have robmpink?

[chilidog]

I have a 32" sony bravia in my bedroom, and I love it. I bought it maybe 4 years ago for maybe $1k I think, so I'm sure they're a lot cheaper now.

[dynamite140]

hey robmpink. I saw that one as well on bestbuy.com as well. I wanted to know is the HD quality you see when you watch say a football game really good just like it is with a 40' LED? I know that is an LCD and most 32' TVs are LCD but I was just amazed at the quality of how the football game looks on my neighbors samsung 40' led tv.

Chilidog, is the quality when you watch an NFL game on your sony bravia really good in HD?

I have a 37" Toshiba. The picture is great. Football is more fun to watch on it. I just saw Clemson make an interception and it clear as a bell!

TV is shit, it is 720p. You need to get a 1080p/120hz refresh rate...that's for sports watching.

[Shonner]

This is the one you want:

For sports you want plasma. 120hz lcds still have some motion blur.

This tv will have a better, bigger and smoother picture than the LCDs others have mentioned for $600.

Anyone know who would rent a TV for $30/week?

[obamaismyuncle]

NO, I have a 2.5 inch sony watchman..

i dont like plasmas but you are correct on the blur.

but the 120hz has little to no blur

What will the 1080p do for you when the stations broadcast at 720p? The only time you need 1080p is if you are watching blue ray HD DVD.

Well, they don't sell 120hz tv's in 720p.

Plus:

- Blu Ray
- Video Games
- Cable will be in 1080p eventually

[dynamite140]

All i will be doing is watching NFL Football and MLB and that is pretty much it and a few tv shows on NBC. Do i need 1080 p for that?

Don't be a pussy get a 60in samsung

[keyboarding]

Big fukking spender, this guy is. Living on his own, dodging the pizza delivery guy to avoid Tips, and making a big deal out of a television at a size most people use as computer monitors.

[Ralphie]

I bought a 26 inch vizio from wal mart recently for 260. It is a pretty good value.

[SCRAGGS]

sony xbr, great tv

[dynamite140]

Ha its keyboarding kid again. Yes i WAS a big spender the last 2-3 years. You must be proud with your 32' Monitors you have that your parents bought you! What kind of people use a 32' as a monitor?? Even a 20' monitor is big already. Only thing i can think of is that you probably play those games like WoW and Halo right on those big monitors?

So i guess the assumptions i make are right. All you do is stay on your computer and keyboard all day. What kind of name is keyboarding If not that, then you go and play that game i hear about on Tv called HALO on your tv in the floor in your parents 2nd room floor. Kid you need to get a life. I don't even watch tv much and only football season and that is it. No point in buying a big tv if i don't even plan to use it much. I don't even watch movies at home. You probably do for sure with a name like keyboarding. Oh wait your probably don't understand much about money because your parents must pay everything for you

Am i right you still live at home with mommie and daddy? They must be real proud of you kid! You sound like one frustrated teenager who is always mad for some reason.


But to everyone else, I'm check out best buy the next few days or so. Just wanting to know if the HD quality of a 32' will be close to what i saw with my neighbors 40'. I checked a few videos online on youtube of the sony 32' and for some reason, it doesn't seem to have the display like the samsung 40' i saw. It seems more shiny like those glossy laptop finishes while the Samsung looks really solid.

Just make sure you get a 1080.
