What's the best 32" LCD HDTV for under $800?

Q. I am looking to buy a 32" LCD HDTV within the next two weeks and I would like spend less than $800. What do you recommend I should get and why? Thanks!

A. In 32" LCD, the two best, in BOTH performance and reliability, are Panasonic Viera and Sony Bravia, e.g. TC-32LX85 and KDL-32M4000, both of which can be had at your budget. A little bit less expensive, but still good quality is Toshiba Regza.
Do stay away from the cheap, third tier crap out there, such as Dynex, Insignia, Element, Polaroid, and Vizio!

32" Toshiba Regza LCD HDTV?

Q. I just bought this TV last night, I haven't upgraded to HD Cable yet, But the picture while watching cable seems to be a tiny but fuzzy, the color is great and all, For example while John Mccain was giving a speech this morning I could not make out his American Flag pin. I mean its not terrible like to where I cant see anything just a little blurry. Is there a setting or something I can change? Help please.

A. Your number one problem is that you are not yet watching HD content.

SD content is broadcasted with 480 lines of vertical resolution but your TV has over 720 vertical lines. Your TV must up-convert around 300,000 broadcasted pixels per frame to over 1,000,000 pixels per frame on screen. Up-conversion will always result in less on-screen detail and sharpness. There is no magic setting that will fix this. You can adjust the sharpness setting in your picture menu, but you will still have less than desirable results. With an HDTV: garbage in = garbage out. Get an HD service.

A digital converter will not help. In fact, a digital converter will hurt your picture quality. An HDTV already has a digital tuner. Converting clean digital signals with a converter box to a low resolution, noisy analog signal for your HDTV to receive can ONLY drop picture quality. In fact, not all convert boxes support analog pass-thru, so this solution could block all the analog clear channel programing from even getting to your new HDTV. There's an improvement!

Vizio VS Sceptre 32' LCD HDTV?

Q. I need a new TV. I want to get a 32', and I have about $300-$350 to spend(give or take $50). I will be using the TV mainly for video games, playing my PS3 with an HDMI cable. Which TV is better for its cost, and which can i afford? If both of them are too high in price, what HDTV's can I get at $350?

A. I would recommend this one to you

VIZIO E320VL 32-inch 720p LCD HDTV http://amzn.to/g0XNIO

The picture quality is very good, perhaps only surpassed by Samsung, but Samsung costs much more. The sound quality is better than average, and better than Samsung because of the front facing speakers. The TV itself is very attractive and is very easy to set up and navigate the menus. Also, unlike most TVs, it's made in America. Amazon.com had the best price, and shipping was reasonably quick. (free)

Should i get the Vizio 32" Class 720p 60Hz LCD HDTV Bundle package at Walmart?

Q. I am pondering on getting the Vizio 32" Class 720p 60Hz LCD HDTV Bundle package with the free home theater system and HDMI cable. I am a new tv buyer and see this as a good deal. What should i look for? I got a ps3 and i want something that is durable and has good quality.

A. Vizio is local trademark . TV only sold in USA/CANADA.
Vizio USA do not manufactures any things. all TV " handle " by Taiwan Amtrans ,products designs and made in China. use low prices parts.
http://www.forbes.com/2009/05/21/taiwan-vizio-amtran-exports-lcd-tv.html?feed=rss_business
Vizio is " cheap ". but subject to reliable. try to avoid Vizio.
you may not need a quality. but keeps send TV for repair is free during warranty ,but cost shipping / transport charge , may with out TV from 1 to 4 weeks.this may make you mad !!
for games . PS 3 , better go for 120 HZ model . is cover.hide some " motion blur ". standard 60 HZ model , you will uncomfortable to the " motion blur ".
what is " motion blur " ? look at the ball .
http://www.plasma-lcd-facts.co.uk/myths/response/
you don't need a 1080 P model for an 32 inc TV. you eye will not get the difference between 720 P and 1080 P in screen size below 40 inc TV. however , TV maker take 1080 P as Hi End model. such model always better pictures quality than 720 HD model. ( you paid for it )
If you BUDGET allow. Samsung 32 inc 1080 P 120 hz model will be quality and reliable . Samsung manufactures TV by OWN from End to End. is reliable products. even 32 inc from Samsung China or Samsung Malaysia , but is all by Samsung. under Samsung HQ quality control . ( Vizio is all don by other . quality is beyond control ) !!
If because of BUDGET. Vizio is " CHEAP ' .just take some RISK !!
Please , visit show room to view the real unit., watch for sport movies. if you eye cant accept the " motion blur " , standard 60 HZ model is not for you. ( some people eye okay for that ).

What is the best way to conenct these audio components?

Q. I just bought an intro home theater system. It includes an LG 32" LCD HDTV with HDMI, a Yamaha HTR-5840 6.1 surround receiver, two Klipsch Synergy F-1 speakers, and a Sony DVP-NS70H DVD/CD player with HDMI.

In order to get the BEST quality out of this combination, how should I connect everything?

I currently have the HDMI from the TV to the DVD directly since the receiver doesn't do HDMI. I then have a coax from the DVD to the receiver, and a fiber from the TV to the receiver.

1. Is this going to give me the best possible sound for what I have right now, or should I reconfigure it a bit?

2. Is fiber or coax better?

3. When I turn on my DVD and receiver to play a CD, I also have to turn on the TV. When I turn on the TV though, it doesn't see the DVD player until I force the menu to choose HDMI as a primary output. Is there any way to make the DVD visible to the TV by default?

A. Whenever in doubt, keep things digital for as long as possible by using Digital I/Os. It appears that you are already doing that. If this is the case, then you should be getting the best signal reproduction that your receiver can deliver!

Keeping things digital for as long as possible, decreases the chances of Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and eliminates the effect of this interference, which in the end, provides you a window of opportunity to maybe not buy the "Highest Quality" interconnect cable. Simply, 1s and 0s are 1s and 0s that all represent amplitude and frequency. Truly, how would you lose any signal, using 1s and 0s to represent that signal? Without signal loss, then the most accurate reproduction of the source material is practically guaranteed (of course, limited by the capabilities of your receiver). Of course signal loss is a product of using metal based conductors (such as with coaxial connections as opposed to the light-based operation of fiber-optic technology), but unless you plan on having your source equipment in one state and your receiver in another, this provides no further complication in having to purchase Monster Cable digital interconnectors,

Another thing, start saving now for a new receiver! Although Yamaha will always be remembered by me as my first receiver manufacturer once I began seeking high-quality equipment, their quality has decreased with their insistence on providing more budget oriented receicers. Although I would unwaiveringly purchase a Yamaha budget over one made by Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, or Panasonic, there are more capable receivers that are more accurate by other less well known manufacturers such as Denon and Harman/Kardon. Attempt to get a receiver with the highest quality Burr-Brown Digital-to-Analog conversion. High quality DACs are your final chance at getting the best sound quality from your system! Look around the net (visit manufacturers' websites and such) until you find the receiver that melts your heart! Upon finding that "magic-receiver," search online retailers to discover the least expensive manner in which you can obtain it.

Truly, the most important pieces of your sound system come before the loudspeakers! In reality, the best DVD Player with comparable quality digital signal interpretation to maintain signal integrity is most appropriate! Read reviews of source equipment published in Home THeater focused magazines such as "Home Theater Magazine" and "Sound and Vision Magazine" (which was formerly known as "Stereo Review").

You deserve it!

Especially with those Klipsches! The fact that Klipsch generally produces highly efficient loudspeakers, receiver power requirements can be scaled back a little to get a higher quality (build-wise) receiver to bring out the ambience and presence of the Klipsches! Although I do not personally own any Klipsch loudspeakers, I have yet to be let down by any Klipsch based listening session.

With that said about the in-store listening sessions hardly ever being letdowns, I don't see any reasonable explanation as to why you should be let down in your own home.

...

Regarding your other questions, you should really examine your DVD Player's manual to see if you can set HDMI as the default output method, that way, you won't have to "force" it everytime... There's no reason to have any other output as the default since you are using specifically the HDMI interconnection to deliver the digital video information.

Finally, with the question of which digital interconnection is better between coaxial and fiber-optic, remember that the chance of signal loss is far less with fiber-optic connections, because light can travel much farther through a tube than an electrical pulse through a metal conductor. In the end, again, if money is the issue, coaxial connections use the same RCA cable that your analog devices have used over the years.

Using fiber-optic based installation prevents corrosion, for there is no metal connector that can corrode. However, again, be advised that there is no direct quality improvement by using fiber-optic interconnection for your device as opposed to coaxial, for a 1 is a 1--whether it is being transferred over coaxial or fiber-optic cable.

I would say to use the coaxial I/O to save money initially, but look forward to making use of the fiber-optic connection as time moves forward or if you're thinking of permanently installing the receiver in a particular location.

Hope that helps!

Happy listening!

What is the best sound bar for a 32" Vizio TV?

Q. I have a Vizio 32" E320VL LCD HDTV and I have noticed that when I watch a movie on my dvd player, the sound is not very good. It's really quiet in certain parts and really loud in others. I was wondering if a sound bar would fix this problem, and if so what would be the best and cheapest one to get for my Vizio TV? Thanks to anyone who can help!

A. Visit crutchfield.com and click on speakers then soundbars. They offer a good selection with specs and list their offerings from lowest price to highest price. You don't have to buy from them but it doesn't hurt to look. Crutchfield has been in business for many many years. I bought a Sony TV from them in 2010. I live in Texas and by buying from them paid no state sales tax and they ship anywhere in the US at no additional cost. I have a new Vizio 32" LED in my kitchen and after I heard the TV sound for the first time I started looking. The down side of soundbars is the width. Be sure to take that into consideration when shopping. Last, pricing of soundbars is pretty much like other speakers in that you can expect to get what you pay for. The higher the quality, the higher the cost.

What do i need to get the Best out of my Entertainment Center?

Q. I just bought a new samsung 32 inch lcd hdtv and i have an xbox 360 system and a compact stereo. What cords or additional things do i need to buy to get the most out of my system? hdmi cords or hd boxes? Just let me know exactly what i need to hook up. Thank you

A. hmm, well as for the 360, it actually doesnt output in tru hdtv, so special cables are not necessary for it, but it does help if you get a hdmi cable, it will improve picture quality.then you should get a 5.1 surround system. this makes everything sooo much better, even more than games, all movies and music will be improved too. get something like this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=5.1+surround&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=5.1+surround&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=68n&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&source=univ&tbs=shop:1&tbo=u&ei=LH4ZTa1Tg7SVB4TsjNoC&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=8&ved=0CF8QrQQwBw&biw=832&bih=374&fp=9bef8cda26d1a6ec

and to connect a 5.1 sound system, you will need either another hdmi cable going from your tv to the system, or a fiberoptic goind from either your 360 or the tv to the system.

Sitting 14 feet away from a 32 inch LCD HDTV?

Q. I was planning on getting a 32 inch LCD HDTV but I read from amazing that I shouldn't be sitting more than 8 feet away in that case. Will there be a noticeable difference if I sit 14 feet away?

A. Its just like any other TV you may have owned or used in your lifetime. There is going to be a sweet spot in viewing distance. If you sit to close it might hurt your eyes. If you sit too far back you might lose a bit of the details on the screen. That's about it.

32" would have an optimal viewing distance more in the 4-6 feet kind of range. So in watching it from 14 feet away, you likely will not see some of the finer details in the programming you watch. But that doesn't mean you still won't see and enjoy the programming. I think the biggest impact it might have is for sports and trying to follow a small object (puck, golf ball, etc.). But most news and like drama or comedy TV shows should be fine. Even movies off of BluRay or such would be fine, they just won't be "optimal" (but optimal is a subjective thing anyway).

You didn't mention why you're going at 32" though? Are you looking at that size cause of budget or cause of restrictions of how physically big the TV can be in the spot you're putting it. If its physical size and you're stuck, well not much you can do. If its budget, I would honestly consider a 42" 720p Plasma. You can pick up one of those without going a lot higher than a good 32" would cost you.

A good quality 32" set is likely going to float you in around $400, maybe a bit less. A 42" Plasma from ABC Warehouse can be had for $539 (I'd recommend the Panasonic one). Right now there are 3 42" 720p Plasmas on sale at ABC Warehouse for $539. So yes it is definitely more than a 32" set, but 42" isn't completely unattainable I would think. And 720p is all you need at 42", especially at 14 feet back. If you can manage that, I think it would give you a bit better result.

How do I fix my cable quality?

Q. I just got a new Samsung 32" 720p LCD HDTV a week ago, and the quality on my cable is horrible. Everything is enhanced while I'm playing video games, but it's kinda bad when I'm watching cable. Everything looks slightly smudged.

A. YOU can't fix it. It's an issue between you and your cable provider. This assumes you are using component or HDMI cables, and that they are correctly hooked up.
I suspect that you have standard cable service. if so, and you want high quality TV reception, you'll have to pony up a few extra bucks a month and get HD service to take advantage of your HDTV!

What is the best sound bar for a 32" Vizio TV?

Q. I have a Vizio 32" E320VL LCD HDTV and I have noticed that when I watch a movie on my dvd player, the sound is not very good. It's really quiet in certain parts and really loud in others. I was wondering if a sound bar would fix this problem, and if so what would be the best and cheapest one to get for my Vizio TV? Thanks to anyone who can help!

A. Visit crutchfield.com and click on speakers then soundbars. They offer a good selection with specs and list their offerings from lowest price to highest price. You don't have to buy from them but it doesn't hurt to look. Crutchfield has been in business for many many years. I bought a Sony TV from them in 2010. I live in Texas and by buying from them paid no state sales tax and they ship anywhere in the US at no additional cost. I have a new Vizio 32" LED in my kitchen and after I heard the TV sound for the first time I started looking. The down side of soundbars is the width. Be sure to take that into consideration when shopping. Last, pricing of soundbars is pretty much like other speakers in that you can expect to get what you pay for. The higher the quality, the higher the cost.

What do i need to get the Best out of my Entertainment Center?

Q. I just bought a new samsung 32 inch lcd hdtv and i have an xbox 360 system and a compact stereo. What cords or additional things do i need to buy to get the most out of my system? hdmi cords or hd boxes? Just let me know exactly what i need to hook up. Thank you

A. hmm, well as for the 360, it actually doesnt output in tru hdtv, so special cables are not necessary for it, but it does help if you get a hdmi cable, it will improve picture quality.then you should get a 5.1 surround system. this makes everything sooo much better, even more than games, all movies and music will be improved too. get something like this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=5.1+surround&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=5.1+surround&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=68n&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&source=univ&tbs=shop:1&tbo=u&ei=LH4ZTa1Tg7SVB4TsjNoC&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=8&ved=0CF8QrQQwBw&biw=832&bih=374&fp=9bef8cda26d1a6ec

and to connect a 5.1 sound system, you will need either another hdmi cable going from your tv to the system, or a fiberoptic goind from either your 360 or the tv to the system.
