LG 32LH20 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black
This TV is exactly what we wanted. This is a bedroom set, and we were not as concerened with having every “cool” feature on the planet as were were with have a quality TV with a good picture and sound. So far we have ZERO complaints. The sound is really good. Our old TV had speakers that seemed to project sound down instead of out. Most of the time we don’t have this one turned up past 10 or 11 (out of I guess 100) and it fills the room fine. The picture is crystal clear and the presets are nice – movies, sports, etc… The black casing is nice and clean looking. My wife loves the sleep timer! Plenty of features (more than we can deal with) and setup was so easy it was silly.
I wanted to talk about the seller here: Sixth Avenue Electronics (6ave on Amazon) is the best! I, like most people, hesitate a little to drop this amount of money online. The reviews for 6ave were outstanding, so we gave them a shot. MAN are they good! Communication ALL ALONG THE WAY and they make sure you are happy. I could not ask for a better seller online.
Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L26X1 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV
This TV replaced an older 4:3 CRT tv in our bedroom. Easy set up, as long as you use a magnetic screwdriver to hold the philips head screws that are used to attach the base.
I used the recommended settings from the CNET review of this series of TV.
Biggest complaint is the off-axis viewing. The picture deteriorates rapidly, at less than 45 degress to the sides.
Viore LED24VF60 24-Inch LED 1080p HDTV (Black)
In the last few weeks I’ve gone through several tv sets due to logistic changes and what not. After being relegated to the worst TV set in my household I decided to take advantage of the holiday sales to look for a new set. Black Friday’s prices were nothing to right home about. I found an LED set at Best Buy that has 1080p and did some more research and found it just didn’t have enough ports. I decided to wait and search for some new sets.
Sure enough Amazon came through for me again with this model. If you’re looking for a TV that does just about what you want it to do look no further. It has 2 HDMI ports, your usual component/ AV ports, and a VGA port with Audio in so you can use your TV as a monitor and speaker for your computer as well. You also have coaxial and RF which is good for set top boxes or old videogame consoles. It’s missing S-video, and for some reason it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. The picture on this is great and since it uses LED lighting you have darker darks and lighter lights than conventional LCD’s. The sound is pretty weak and using the surround option won’t help. If it had better sound and an s-video port or two it would have gotten a five. If you’re not picky and are just looking for an HDTV with no frills I recommend getting this.
