Quote from freesty1er : I just found this thread after having my mother in law ask about a ~32" flat panel TV that she could take around with her for showing videos at meetings from her computer. For anyone in this thread who has gotten either one of the 32" sets, do you think it's in any way "portable" in this manner. Please keep in mind that this is an older woman who will be putting this in her car and taking it out... I'm thinking any 32" hdtv is going to be tough to do that with but thought I'd ask... TIA!

You'd be better off convincing her to get a projector that she could just plug into her usb or hdmi port rather than lug around a heavy tv. imo

Thanks for the input. However, she DID go this route and didn't like it. I'm not sure of all the reasons why, but one thing she mentioned was that a few times she powered it off and couldn't power it back on for a while (maybe an overheat protection?). She seemed to really want a monitor/tv - and I told her a TV would be better as the speakers are built in, so no additional speakers or whatever required on top of lugging a monitor around.

I went ahead and ordered the slim/thin model in this post. I did some research and the weight of the TV is about 20.5 pounds, so that seems fine. A potential problem is size (weight being light is one thing, but it may be awkward to try to carry something large).

The thing that kills me is that I opted for ship to store free, to save on shipping. It took them days to ship it, then finally it went out using FedEx. ??? I thought it would go on a truck to Walmart with the other stuff and just be set aside on reserve. If they were just going to FedEx it - they could have saved the hassle and sent it straight to me. Even worse, it was scheduled for delivery yesterday - but at about 8:30 am there was a delivery exception. The reason stated: " Customer not available or business closed ". ?! WTF? It's a 24 hour freaking Walmart! So it's in limbo right now. I don't even know how I'm gonna get this thing.

been looking for a 32" tv for the home gym to connect my roku up to.. Thanks

Had my 32" for about 3 days now. For movies and games it is flawless. However, for word processing the thing is still making my eyes bleed like when I was using the scepter 40". The problem is that no matter how I adjust the settings I run into a couple of problems. To get the text dark, full, and clear enough to read painlessly I have to set the contrast, brightness and sharpness at their lowest settings (zero). The only problem is that the whites are too dark. In fact, the screen is so dark I have trouble reading the time and date in windows lower right hand corner.

Now if I go the other way I can get the brightness way up but then the black text is too thin and it creates a ghosting effect with the text.

I went from a planar 27" to this. I was running that at 1920*1080 with no problems @ 60hz. I'm thinking that it's not so much the TV size that's giving me the problems than the TV settings. The blacks need to be darker and they need to contrast clearer with the whites.

Does anyone have a TV around 32" or greater that they use for regular word processing? I was looking at the RCA 32" 1080p at wallyworld but based on the mixed reviews I think I might have more of the same. I just want a TV that I can enjoy my gaming but since I use the system for work the word processing comfort has to take priority. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.
