Looking for a good 32" LCD for the bedroom - Blu-ray Forum

lokus · 11-03-2009, 01:25 PM

My wife and I are looking to put an LCD in the bedroom. We would like to get a 32". I am looking for a tv with good blacks and color. Our bedroom tends to get a fair amount of light so I'm looking for a tv that has little reflection. I listed a few tvs below that seem to be pretty decent. Does anyone have these? Does anyone have any 32" lcd recommendations? Do you feel that 1080p makes a difference with a 32" at roughly 5-7 ft? Thanks!

TVs I am currently looking at:
Sony BRAVIA KDL-32XBR9
Samsung LN32B460 720p
Samsung LN32A650 32-Inch 1080p
Sony BRAVIA KDL-32L5000
Panasonic VIERA TC-L32X1

I have a 32" samsung 550 series in the bedroom and I am happy with it. I actually went done from a 37" aquos, cause I felt it was too big. Now I sorta miss the 5", even though the set is just something to go to sleep too, so it isnt that big of an issue.
If your not going to use it that much like me, I wouldnt waste too much cash unless you have it to spare. My set is 1080p and looks very good and I bought it on sale for under $500. I feel like anymore would have been overkill for what I use it for...

I have a 32" Aquos which has a great picture, but 1080p is not necessary for a screen that size. I would rather have one that accepted the extinct cablecards now that Comcast is forcing cable boxes on every TV in order to get all of their digital programming.

I have a samsung 32b360 and it is excellent for my bedroom, 720p, but that didn't matter to me.

I'd recommend the Vizio 32" and some curtains.

My wife and I have the 32" Vizio for a bedroom TV and we love it. I think it's the best bang for the buck, and the quality on both PQ and AQ is quite good.

The Samsung's are at the top regarding picture quality!

The Sony 32 inch L-Series TV is the Amazon Deal of the Day today.

My parents have this TV in their bedroom. Highly recommended.

Yep. $399 for that TV is hard to beat!

I know what you're saying. I've went from a 20" to 32" to 42" and now have a 50" in the bedroom. The 32" vizio I had was nice but I think the magic number is 42" or bigger. May seem overkill but now I don't have to bug the wife to go to the bedroom to watch her shows.

Vizio's are nice but if you can get a higher rated set for the same price why not.
