Sceptre 32" Class LCD 720p 60Hz HDTV, X322BV-HD for $179 w/Free ship to store

Quote from angrysquirrel : I would like to find a good price on a 32" 1080p led LCD TV. I'm using a TCL as a computer monitor and it's not great for word processing. I've tried a sceper 32" 1080p and the picture quality is terrible. I'm looking at the LG 32CS560 but it's almost as expensive as the TCL 39"

What did you want to spend? You're gonna be looking $300 if you want quality fit for monitor (if you didn't like sceptre), or higher. Also if you are gaming, getting these tvs as apposed to 27" monitors its possibly they wont be as good for gaming. Also a nice 1080p 32" will not have a dramatic drop down from a 42" 1080p. Most 32" tvs are 720p for cable. To go 32" for a monitor I wont say its too big (for your needs) but its too big (to get a good price/in for 1080p+).

Quote from woomer051 : ... Also be mindful of reviews, they look good/above average. However, the last person I would consult on picture quality is a wally world shopper buying their first hdtv for 200 bucks lol.

Valid point. Anything looks better than older tube TV. It may look great compared to tube but look like a POS compared to quality name brand.

Thanks for the info. I would probably venture around $300 since the TCL 39" was around $350. That being said, it seems like it's more expensive to get a 32" instead of a 40". Maybe 40" are more popular so they're less expensive?

I dunno why a 32" 1080p is soooooo much. Like I said, many people don't make a 1080p 32 they just make 720p. The highest I see monitor go (not to say tvs cant be monitors) is like 27". Here is a 27" 1080p 5ms response integrated usb and speakers. Deals are on 24-27" 1080p, 32" 720p, and 40-42" 1080p. You simply don't find "deals" on a 32" 1080p. My recommendation is go bigger or go smaller for deals. My biggest recommendation is go 27" for more of a selection for 1080p. If you go bigger like 37"+ you will be able to pick flaws out like crazy. If you go smaller you will have more selection and hit nice models even if they aren't the best brand.

Before I got this "39 TCL I was using a 27" planar. It's not bad but I wanted something a bit bigger for gaming. That being said, I also want what I'm using to double as a work monitor for word processing. The text isn't crisp enough with the 39" TCL and also wasn't crisp enough when I tried a scepter 32" 1080p LCD.

I think my next try will be a 32" 1080p LED LCD made by a better brand like Samsung.

lol I don't know what other people are saying so negatively about this sub $200 tv. I have the led version and I must say the color is very much like my other samsung. Sometimes you pay less for what you actually get

Quote from woomer051 : People paying $50+/mo =$600+/yr for cable/satellite yet watch it on a $200 tv?????????????????? Unless this is solely for gaming or movies, treat yourself to a $400 720p 42" plasma for cable watching (at the very least 42"/720p/$400) Recommend a 50" 1080p plasma for $600. Try models samsung = e530 panasonic = u50 and lg = pa5500. You'll thank me in the long run. If saving an intital $200 or so is that important while you shell out big bucks for utilities to use them, I bet you have stuff from rent a center or arrons LOL.

Can you recommend a nice 60" 1080p plasma? I want to replace my 46" LCD.

Cheap 60" plasma would be a tcp60u50 from panasonic, a 60pa5500 from lg or 60" e530 from samsung. Lg and panny models can be found around $900 for 60" lately.

What about a nice quality one, with inky blacks? Which one would u buy?

Budget quality now, you usally end up buying 3d models (whether you want 3d or not). Safe bet is the st50 series from panasonic. The larger you go though, 60" is a drastic price dif from 50". With decent quality base models like I listed, the 50" to 60" jump is $300, with the st,gt, or vt models from panasonic, 50" to 60" jumps can be $600-$800+. So if you want a "deal" on quality that big of size, you have to realize price/inch is not in your favor. People getting that big and that high of quality don't get bargains usually. Sometimes there is employee purchase price deals on say 50" but when you jump past 50" with a plasma EVERYTHING changes.

Because of both LCD and Plasma reliability ratings for panny, I usually recommend them for people looking at quality plasma. Its either them lg or sammy, they are the only 3 left manufacturing. To help you with everything panny thats out there, TCP marks off plasma, then your size, then model u,s,g, and v, the t marks off 3d. So Examples.

TCP50gt50 is my tv, its a 50 inch g series, its 3d and its the g50 series (which is farily recent).
TCP65s30 is a 65 inch s series tv that is not 3d
the best tv you can buy for cable in my opinion is a tcp65vt50 (although the g series is a better price point)
S series has really been catching up to the g series too, which is why i recommend a tcp50st50 or if there is a newer line going. I know theres a 25 series, then 30 now 50 and probably a 51 series. So maybe a tcp65vt51 exists out there.

I doubt many of the name brands are really going to dip under $200 for a 32".

$250-$270 range will be more like what a well known brand name LED TV would sell for. I am being realistic.

It's just an idea going into the 2012 BF Mania.

That is a really silly comment, and a silly threadcap.
I have over-the-air which is better quality than top quality cable or satellite.

May as well as why people are paying $600 for cable when they can pay nothing for BETTER HD.

So please take your tread capping and trolling and leave. Almost no one is buying this as their primary TV. Bedroom, workout room, kids room etc.
