I am in the market for a 32" LCD tv. I have never actually bought a tv before, we have always relied on other people's cast offs! However, our second hand samsung CRT has finally given up so if i am buying my own telly at last, i intend to get a good one!
Having read what feels like thousands of reviews and articles, i have decided it's either the sony KDL32W5500 or the panasonic TX32LZD85. Both are 1080p, 100hz.
However, i have just discovered this excellent forum, which has raised more questions than answers!
My main requirements are:
1) SD picture quality must be good. I currently have sky but don't intend to upgrade to HD at the moment. ALso, i don't watch a lot of films, so bluray is not a concern. For this reason, do i need 1080p?
2) I watch a lot of rugby, and having seen the shocking performance on the cheaper LCDs when it comes to fast moving images, i had decided that 100hz would be essential. However, reading this sites' review of the 100hz sony it casts doubt on its usefulness.
3) i want to be able to hook it up to the PC, mainly for viewing photos and videos. would it be beneficial to have 1080p for this?
Basically, the two tellys i have mentioned above should be more than capable of what i want, but both the sony and panasonic do cheaper models that may also be sufficient for my needs whilst saving me a few quid - any help would be very gratefully received, as my wife is sick of hearing about it all!
Thanks,
Owen.
