Sony 32" Stereo TV (KV-32S42)
Best TV under $500
This TV has a great picture tube for a non-flat TV.  I looked at several 32 and 35 inch TV's, and know one had the same clarity and sharp contrast of the Sony Triniton line.  This TV doesn't have all the monster features  that other TV's have, but it has the best two features of any other TV, a  great picture and a low price.  You can't go wrong with this product; worst  case: you put it in your kitchen so that you don't miss the Rams game while  you make a sandwich.
