Question

32 inch LCD for £500, which is the best?

Answer 1

Consumer Reports did a wonderful job rating TV's recently and the Sony Bravia KDL-32S3000 got great marks in picture quality. It's 550 or so.

Answer 2

32" TV's can start from around £320, for some very basic model's. It is probably a better option to look at the ranges towards £399 and above as there are some superb deals to be found as the prices of LCD television fall.

For example the Toshiba AV Range begins from £399, it is a quality, high definition panel and has 2 HDMI connections for High definition connectivity and a 2 standard SCART connections for use with VCR's and older DVD players.

Samsung and LG both have similar offerings and are new to market, they have a contemporary design (A456 & 3000 series) with similar specs, so would be a good idea to browse the models available.

If you would like a more premium brand, Sony & Panasonic both have HD Ready models for under £500, try the KDL32S3000 (Sony) or the TX32LMD70 (Panasonic). These have various additional features such as Bravia and Veira engines, coupled with their superb brand reputation, they are worth considering too.  

All of these TV’s feature inbuilt digital tuners so you’ll be ready for the digital switchover.

All these televisions are HD Ready (720p), if you are looking for a full HD TV (1080p) for true high definition graphics , for HD gaming or Blu-Ray disc movies prices start from around £580, which I not much more above your £500 budget.

Answer 3

Depends if you want HDTV or not, a stand or bracket, freeview built in.

Consider those International Brand's if  the prices as about. As  their made  own LCD panel ,normally first grad panel will use for own product. Sony, use own Japan made  for hi-end model. standard molder use panel from Korea JV with Sumseng. Sumseng use that  for some model ,also another factory by  their own ,to support own TV .Philips JV with Korea LG, made LCD panel for their TV. Panasonic and Toshiba JV LCD factory made in Singapore,JVC use that also.Sharp made good LCD panel from Japan factory. Hitachi  with factory in Japan also. OF COURSE other TV marker will buy panel from those,as not many LCD panel market now, usally due to COST matter, second grad is selected. Mose OEM brand always do that.
