Looking for a 32" 1080p tv

[bluedogok]

As a computer monitor it's imperative that it was 1080p to be the right resolution(and it just sounds cooler to say). Now I just have to wait for this new game I'm waiting on to be released.

I had a 25" 1080p monitor for my home desktop (in Austin, I brought it up to Denver to use as a second screen for my laptop) and do not like it as well as the pair of 24" Dell Ultrasharp monitors that I had at my former job which will run up to 1200 pixels vertical. Right now I have a couple of 20" Dell Ultrasharp (not widescreen) monitors that I picked up at Discount Electronics for around $100 each that do 1200 vertical. The screen height is about the same as the 24" widescreen (which run at almost $500 new) that I had on my old office computer. For Revit, 3DSMax and Photoshop type of work the higher resolution is much nicer.

I do agree the current 1080p monitors are a much better upgrade over the older screens and for gaming would probably work great since most games aren't going to render higher than 1080. Congrats, hope you enjoy it.

Got the tv in and installed today. So far it's really nice. As a monitor with an HDMI input the text is very clear and colors are sharp.

If there's one thing I don't like about it so far is the speaker quality when watching tv isn't that great.

I connected a pair of old Dell computer speakers to mine, and they work quite well. Alternatively, Walmart has several small sound bars that would improve your audio.

I'm sure this poster has allready gotten an LCD,but if not Best Buy has a 42" LCD on sale for Black Friday for only $199!

I saw that. Sounds like a good deal but there's no way I'd even attempt to try to get one.

Since they only allocate something like 5 per store, the odds of actually getting one is virtually nil.

Looks like they will have 15 at the store, but still not enough. Amazon just ran a special for a 40" 1080p LCD HDTV for $199...went ahead and picked it up. They lasted all of 15 seconds. LOL Figured it is a good size TV and only $199, so why not.

Avoided over paying on a 1080P TV. Picked up a Larger Computer Monitor, and use my SAT BOX as the Tuner!!! Works GREAT!! Saved a TON of money too.

Went ahead and picked up the 40" plasma they have at Sam's right now for $399 for the extra room. Very nice TV for the price. Amazing how the prices have dropped.
