Vizio L32 32-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
A good value.
I can only offer my experience with this TV.  I had it connected to a XBox360 through component.  Games looked great in bright scenes and brought my gaming experience to a new level.  Dark scene are difficult to see.  A lot of detail was lost when compared to a 5 year old Philips tube but still playable.  HD video looked good except for dark scenes.  I sampled HD video with the samples that are provided on the 360 hard drive.  DVD movies on the other hand were terrible.  I had the 360 set to 720p output.  I'm not sure if scaling is done on the 360 or by the TV but there are artifacts around everything that moves.  The Vivid 1, 2, and 3 settings results in red skin tones and those are the only manufacture predefined settings.  I was able to find a user defined setting that brought natural looking skin tones and was impressed but again, dark scenes left me wanting more.  Those vivid setting didn't bother me during game play.  <br /> <br />Audio was connected by the LR composite on the 360.  Stereo sound was good.  I did not like the surround sound effect because it destroys any sense of stereo sound.  I everything sounded like it was coming from everywhere but I have yet to experience virtual surround that I thought worked. <br /> <br />The remote is very functional and weighs almost nothing.  It has a good set of connections at this price point with D-Sub, 1 HDMI, 2 component and 1 optical out which I think is great for a bedroom TV.  These connections face downward so setting them up was annoying but I guess better for the wires as it reduces the stress on them.   <br /> <br />In the end, I returned the TV and bought a different TV (Samsung LN-S3251D) which I am happy with.  It has better picture quality in every way.  If you're here because this is the most you can spend, then get this TV.  From my research, its the best you can get as of the time of this writing for the price.  I originally bought this because I'm on a college budget but decided I would be happierby working a couple more hours and getting something better which I hope lasts for a number of years.  Good luck with your shopping.
