Real answer: Get what looks good to you.  Keep in mind that lighting and viewing distances can also make a huge difference.  In my opinion, I would never trust Consumer Reports on an HDTV purchase, you should be looking for professional video/audio reviews.  Don't get me wrong, I'll do the CR stuff when it comes to home appliances but when it comes to the technicalities of HD I'll go to video/audio pro's.  There's just too much to learn.

Check out the AVS Forum-- they have tons of tutorials and FAQs.    

Answer 4

32" LCD - The 2 top brands, for BOTH performance and reliability, are Panasonic Viera and Sony Bravia. A little bit less expensive, but still good quality is Toshiba Regza followed, perhaps, by Sharp Aquos and Samsung. Stay away, far away, from the no-name and cheapo brands like Vizio, Polaroid, Insignia, Element, and Dynex.

Read the 3/08 Consumer Reports HDTV article at your local public library for ratings on picture and reliability.
