32 inch bedroom tv - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

EM3 · 05-15-2008, 03:14 PM

The wife has decided that it is time to get rid of the 19 inch tv in the bedroom. We were talking about a 26 inch to put on a stand in the corner. Now the beroom isn't big at all. In fact to get around my side of the bedroom you have to turn sideways to go between the bed and chest of drawers. Well after looking at the prices of the 26 inch sets I started looking at wall mounting a 32 inch model. I was looking at various LCD models but this was suggested to me

Thoughts or suggestions on other models? I believe this model can be found at Wal Mart and I would need a good cheap up con dvd player.

I just worry about the light that comes into the room in the AM.

I don't think VIZIO is good TV brand. Sony is the only brand i'll go, their quality are reliable. Recently just received the new released Sony Bravia KDL-32M4000 at a deal price of $770. The picture is crisp, sharp and vibrant. It has great sound and was easy to set-up. very satisfied with it.

The Vizio's I've seen in person haven't impressed me. I have a 26" Samsung LCD in the bedroom and I'm very pleased with it and I've had no problems with the 40" Samsung in the living room.

If you wanted a 32" I would look at this one.
Samsung - 32" 720p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV - LN32A330

Or if you decide on a 26"

Samsung - 26" 720p Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HDTV - LN26A450

Ok thats really strange and I'll tell you why. My dad bought a 32 inch Sony a few months back. I don't think it's the one youcde linked to do like the picture on it. I have a 42 inchSamsung DLP in the living room and every time the wife looks at the 32 inch Samsung she really likes the picture. She picked the tv out in the living room all I did was give her the requirements. I have convinced her that the tv should be wall mounted and tilted down a little. I have yet to see the Vizio Plasma and the nearest store to me that has it is about 45 minutes away. It's hard to justify a 45 minute drive vs a 5 minute drive to a local store that may have something of a better build quality.

We should be able to get the tv in July so I am always open for viewing options if anyone has any more viewing suggestions.
