I actually came to this forum to ask what the best 32 inch LCD to buy is, within my brothers $700 limit.
He got the KDL32L4000 today, and we hooked up his xbox 360 with HDMI cable.
I was incredibly disappointed.
On black screens you could see a huge grid in the background.
I'm new to LCD's, so im not sure if this is normal.
All 4 corners also had a slight shadow issue. Sometimes it's not there,sometimes it is.
On one game, the shadows looked like screen windows...you know what I mean? All grid-like.
A lot of jagged polygons/edges as well.
Oh, and on a gray screen he noticed vertical lines flowing down the tv...like noise or interference...
Color is nice, but there was way too many other visual issues to enjoy it.
What's odd is I have a 46 inch Bravia in my living room, and I adore it, and it has none of those problems.
I dont know if he got unlucky and got a messed up tv, so yeah.
We're going to give it a week and then exchange for another, like a Samsung.
I hope someone replies to you soon, since I'm curious about the best 32 inch as well
