For at 32" TV even at that short of a distance you shouldn't see a significant enough difference between 720p and 1080p. It's only at 50" or larger that the resolution really makes a difference between 720p and 1080p. However, a lot of 1080p "snobs" will say otherwise. My suggestion, go to a local retailer like Best Buy and see for yourself.

This one has a PC input, so it can double as your PC monitor. pretty cheap too!

720p at that distance, with that screen size will be plenty. At that distance, you would have to go to a 46 - 50" screen before you would start to notice any difference in a 1080p image. Unless you would be within about 4-5 feet (basically computer monitor distance) you wouldn't need 1080p and could save yourself the money.

There aren't that many 32" inch tv's that are 1080p. I have to agree with most that at 32" you really can't tell the difference. I have a 37" LG in my bedroom and it's 1080p. You should look into that one, it's a really nice.

I have this mounted in my bedroom and it looks great. If it is not going to be your main TV than save the money. No one here will be able to tell the diff between 1080p and 720p from those distances. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1194052042159

I just used the Ratatouille blu-ray calibration tool and a combination of scenes to calibrate my TVs. Ratatouille to calibrate the brightness and contrast and the Iron Man blu-ray to calibrate the black levels. The cave scenes in Iron Man are really good to use to get your black levels the darkest w/o crushing them. and also used one scene from Transformers 2

This is 150% wrong. At 32", you wont find many 1080P sets and for a good reason. I HIGHLY doubt you'd be able to detect any noticable difference between 1080P and 720P at that viewing distance and screen size.

Go with a 720P set, and enjoy your extra couple hundred bucks saved.

The Ratatouille tool is mainly to calibrate brightness, contrast, and gamma. for black level calibration(HDMI black, backlight, black level), if you're not getting the essentials disc, will just have to use your good 'ol eyes and some darks scenes. I suggest the cave scenes in Iron Man or the Dark Knight.

Here's some suggested settings from Tweaktv.com. I dont know about the blacklight setting though, that seems like overkill to me. i'd say set the backlight to like 4 or 5
