So my CRT finally crapped out yesterday and i'm looking to buy a new 32" LCD TV.
Anyway, the following televisions caught my eye (budget £300-£500) -
Hitachi UT32MH70
Samsung LE32B450
Sony KDL32S5500 (any idea when the 32V4500's successor is due?)
Panasonic TXL32X10 (is it really worth upgrading to the TXL32X15?)
I'll be using it to watch Sky SD, so I don't care about the tuner, as well as connecting it up to my PS3. Most games will run at 720p and I only watch the occasional Blu-ray (should ideally be able to handle 24p 1080p input w/ 1:1 pixel mapping). I hear SD scales better onto HD Ready screens than Full HD so that'll be enough for me.
All i'm really looking for is excellent picture quality with good color tone reproduction and decent black level response. A decent refresh rate and being able to play SD footage with minimal artifacts would also help. The built in speakers and connectivity options don't really matter to me, mainly because I don't have much to connect it to anyway.
If you guys can help me decide which one I should go for or if you can offer an alternative it would be greatly appreciated.
