Samsung LNS3252D 32-Inch LCD HDTV
Worth the extra
I've been shopping for a bedroom TV to mount on the wall. (We already have a very nice home theater setup for the media room with a 50\\" plasma, audiophile quality sound system yadda yadda).  I looked at some bargain panels like the Syntax and Cosco models, thinking the bedroom wasn't going to be the place to watch lots of 1080i content anyway.  I also don't need computer support.  With some of the rebates and special deals on those budget panels, this thing ended up costing me nearly twice as much.  As is almost always true, you get what you pay for.  Interface is good, connectivity is good (mainly watch HD cable, no DVDs, no games, no PC for us on this TV).  It is also thinner than some of the cheapo models which is a plus when wall mounting.  Picture quality, black level, contrast all look good. There is some ghosting in sports and other fast-moving content, especially when the room is dark, but that's pretty standard for LCDs.  I've not had any reliability issues after 2 months of intermittent use (2-4 hours/week). <br />Bottom line: Spend the extra cash, don't cheap out on an inferior product!
