Samsung LNS3241D 32-Inch LCD HDTV
so far so good
I live in a small studio apartment in New York City so anything > 32\\" was outof the question.  After on and off research over a couple of months I decided to bite the bullet.  The Samsung LNS3241D filled most of the requirements with a reasonable price.<br /><br />So far so good:<br /><br />1. easy to set up<br /><br />2. no dead pixels (yet)<br /><br />3. good picture even with my (still) analog cable box and first generation DVD player.<br /><br />A couple of negatives:<br /><br />1. annoying picture in picture function - with a confusing grid to help you decipher with which combination of sources it will work.  Also it takes too many clicks to get the PIP sound to function.<br /><br />2. sound is not great but I play everything through my standard stereo system which is more than fine.
