Best LCD TV For use with PS3

Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy a PS3 and an LCD TV, The only problem is that i have no idea what TV will do the PS3 justice, i know i dont want anything bigger than a 32". What do you guys suggest ive seen a few LCD TV's namely Toshiba Regza 32AV615DB and Samsung LE32B450C4, But from what i can tell neither of these are full HD, So i dont know what to do. Any Advice/reviews on either TV would be great, as would any suggestions of what TV to buy.

Many Thanks

Re: Best LCD TV For use with PS3

Ive got a

PANASONIC TX32LZD85 and it looks amazing with the PS3 running on it.

Also scored very highly in a lot of reviews and tests but is quite expensive for a 32"

Thats the only problem, Im looking to spend less than £400 if i can help it. I wouldnt mind paying more though, But obviously the less spent the better, Means more money for extra games

I really like that one, great contrast and colour output for PS3.

Re: Best LCD TV For use with PS3

Don't pay more than necessary on a FULL HD - 1080p - set on 32". You don't really see the benefit unless you sit v.close to your screen.

If you will only be using it to view TV, unless you have Freesat or Sky HD then your standard definition picture will need to be upscaled to your sets resolution and the picture will be poor!

Re: Best LCD TV For use with PS3

According to a Sharp LED TV review by AVForums, it's a pretty good tv regarding input lag.

Bravia's have amazing picture with PS3. Not tried 32, but had a 40 (I think it was 40) and it was breathtaking
