Question about buying TV

[nyplayer33]

Do I need to buy the HMi cable..cable said they can give me similiar cables for free. I'm looking to spend around 300 for a tv 32 inch...any recommendations as to whattv made by who?? etc..cost around 300

yes, you need to buy the HDMI cable, but do NOT buy the expensive ones Best Buy try to push on you they're a scam. buy one for very cheap there - they're very good quality: http://www.monoprice.com/

also, how far away from the tv will you be sitting? if it's 8 feet or more away, you need at least a 47" to 55" tv, preferably 55".

the only place a 32" should go is in the kitchen or in a cramped dorm room.

most people are looking for 55" to 70" tv's these days as high-def tv is best viewed on larger displays to reap the full benefits.

You can buy a 40 inch toshiba for around 350. I have one in my dorm and its awesome. Oh btw hdmi cables cost like 3 bucks

Time Warner gave me hdmi cables for free

Yeah 32 is kitchen size strictly, how you gonna enjoy sports on that? 60" is where it's at, in your bedroom - 3 feet away.
TV's are cheap as chips now days anyway, better off getting something decent, its worth it.

HDMI Cables are required, $5 Online or buy the cheap $20 in store if you can't wait

Look for a Sharp, LG . Avoid Sony, Toshiba

If u game or watch sports, pick a TV with a lower response time MAX 5ms

If you can try to get a tv with a 120 hz refresh rate as opposed to a 60 hz.

Got 3 receivers from Direct TV and got free HDMI cables.

[darrell74]

42" lcd's are plenty good enough for me
but im just a single dude in small living room

[onlooker]

Avoid Sony, Toshiba

Why avoid Sony? Price?

[dbartinbwgc]

As someone said you can get free HDMI cables from cable company
of goto a BIG LOTS, DOLLAR GENERAL, MARCS, or MAYEB a DOLLAR STORE
and get a cheap one.
Two weeks ago bought my mom a 37" lcd from best buy for $250
it was a one day sale.
So some searching you'll find a good deal

[dbartinbwgc]

Best Buy Now has a 32" lcd for $199

[ngates815]

Yes get HDMI...off Amazon/monoprice wherever...just buy them online instead of the store.


I'd go into a Costco or Sams Club and just look at the TV's in your price range...Pick out whatever one looks best to you, of course you'll have a terrible time deciding which is best, because there will be a few that all look better at one point then you'll say another one looks better....But once you get home and it's the only TV in the room, you'll be happy.

If you have a hhgregg near you, they are pretty cheap, and that's where I picked my last one up...But also check Amazon, I've ordered 2 from there, and they both arrived without a problem...Amazon can have some decent prices as well + no tax and most likely free shipping.

Sams Club is the way to go

Vizio LCD is dirt cheap , you can one 32 inch under $300 for sure . I saw some at Target not long ago

[Illusivecone]

Why avoid Sony? Price?

On 32" tv's, those two company's use older panels that are between 7-9ms response time. And yeah Sony tends to charge more too.

So did you buy a TV or what???
