Comments on: How To Pick The Right 32″ HDTV http://hdguru.com/how-to-pick-the-right-32-hdtv/2091/ HD Guru for the latest news, reviews, archives and consumer information about High Definition Television Mon, 21 May 2012 21:53:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Chris Heinonen http://hdguru.com/how-to-pick-the-right-32-hdtv/2091/comment-page-1/#comment-55904 Chris Heinonen Wed, 11 Aug 2010 21:16:36 +0000 http://hdguru.com/?p=2091#comment-55904 I recently bought a 32" TV for the bedroom and wasn't horribly picky on image quality for this one, so I wound up with a Sony 32EX308 which I've been happy with so far. The image has been very nice so far (just because it wasn't as important as my normal TV doesn't mean it didn't matter), and it has a wide selection of online content, which was more important to me. The UI can be a little slow to respond (2-3 seconds to bring up the TV Guide or the menu system), but the integrated program guide is nice, and my wife loves it so far. I can't say I've missed 1080p or 120 Hz support either. It also has a 2 point grayscale setup in the menu system that I will be taking advantage of soon, so I'm still going to break out the calibration gear, even if it is just a 32" bedroom TV.

I think you'll find them enlightening. I work in a Home Theater specialty store and I reference this stuff regularly. Mr. Daniel,

THE PANEL. Not the processor. So, what difference would it make to have 240 or 480 Hz if the panel can still only ACTIVELY display 60 Hz?!?! Just more smoke and mirrors from the electronics manufacturers? Bigger numbers means better TV? I find it hard to believe that an LCD panel, slow by nature, can produce 240 Hz images when you have plasmas (i.e. Panasonic's 'V' & 'VT' Series) that are capable of physically displaying 96 Hz on the screen and have 600 Hz processors.
