| For the 32", I think 720p is good enough. But for the 42", I'd spring for the full hd 1080p. The reason why is that even if you don't have a blu ray now, in the life of that tv you probably will. And who knows, sometime in the life of that tv maybe cable and satellite will start broadcasting in full hd. It is hard to tell what the future holds. It is still very difficult to find a 32" other than 720p. The full hd is kind of working its way down.
What brands are you looking at? I have a 32" 720p Samsung and am extremely happy with it. In my opinion from reading reviews and seeing them in person, the best LCD's are Samsung and Sony, but a person has to pay for those. There are quite a few other nice ones out there, though. Best Buy here in Wichita has a wall with about a hundred of them all lined up, it makes comparisons pretty easy. Ultimate Electronics is a nice place to comparison shop also. Even if you don't buy one there, it is nice to be able to compare them all right there in person. There are some deals right now too, as they are getting rid of some of last year's models and coming out with some new stuff.  |
