    I am a brand loyalist and so the majority of my TV purchases have lived in the Sony Bravia range.

    Now, however, I need to buy somehting cheaper because it will be for my wife's parnets and not me. So what I am looking for is a solid quality TV from a real brand (no Vizio types) 32" LCD for two old people. I have looked a little myself but I don't really know what is best at a lower price point (sub $400).

    Any thoughts or, even better, good deals you guys know about?

    I think all 32inch tvs are below $400 now. You don't need the 1080p for that small of a tv.

    LG, Samsung and Panasonic are good for that size.

    There is no reason to get 1080 on a 32 inch TV.

    Definitely the Panasonic TC-L32U22 if you can find one around $400. Great IPS display.

    I am not sure I would buy any TV, especially a smaller one, that did not have built in wireless and Netflix capability.

    I own 3 Vizio HDTVs and they are excellent. I did a good bit of research before buying them a year or so ago and, at the time at least, they were by far the best combination of value and quality.

    yeah I cannot believe Vizio is still looked upon as a bad name brand. I bought one when they first came out because they changed the price market so much on LCDs but their performance is great.

    I have a Vizio :eek:.. Actually it's been pretty good for a cheap bedroom tv.

    I agree. It will not replace my Panasonic plasma but it is certainly not a subpar set.
