Panasonic TC-32LX60  32-Inch LCD TV
THE 32-inch HDTV LCD to own!
Originally, I was bent on buying the Sony Bravia 32 inch XBR; however, upon comparing it side by side with the Panasonic TC-32LX60, their picture quality and vibrance are essentially identical. Looking at their price tags, I wasn't too excited shelling out $500 more for Sony; and with comparable picture quality, Panasonic is the better deal. Thus, I settled with the Panasonic with its reasonable price. At home, Panasonic truly shines with its 720P/1080i resolution of HDTV broadcasts from Comcast. Discovery HD Theater is truly amazing in all its clarity and high-resolution images. HBO movies never looked this gorgeous, as well as the local HD channels of CBS, ABC and NBC. To sweeten the deal, I also bought an upconverting DVD player with the HDMI output; I toggled between 720p and 1080i and found no discernible difference (probably with screens bigger than 40 inches, it would figure prominently). I literally rerun all my favorite DVDs and they looked twice as sharp, almost near-HD quality. I'm so glad I bought this TV; if my budget permits it, I'm on the lookout for buying an HD DVD player in the future. For now, this will suffice.
