    I've narrowed my choices for a 32" LCD (small room) between:

    Panasonic
    TC-32LX700 - $815.00
    TC-32LX70 - $695.00

    or

    Samsung
    LN-T3242H - $899.99

    1) Which one is the better brand - I'm thinking about repairs down the line, or picture quality, views in strong lighting and side angles.
    2) I know Samsung has a USB port and Panasonic doesn't.. any other features I should be looking at to compare?

    Thanks!

    Apparently Westinghouse is the way to go. This board loves the house!

    I think I saw a 32" at Conn's for $499?

    I have a SONY.. I love it. If I didn't get a Sony I probably would have bought a Samsung.

    this will be my third Samsung HDTV (the 23" LCD, a 50" DLP and the new 32" LCD)

    check the review sites and avsforum, Samsung gets pretty consistent good reviews.

    I think Panasonic is a plasma specialist.

    Good choice. Most tech reviewers agree that SOny and Samsung have the best picture quality.

    yeah plasmas have that glossy **** on the screen. so half the time you are watching it you see reflections like a damn mirror.

    if you can do it, i suggest the go to the 40in for $999
    its a good size, whenever you move, it should still be suitable for a larger room.
