My room is fairly well lit and I need decent viewing angles due to room set up. I watch OTA tv and standard DVD's (will get upconverting DVD later but probably not Blueray).


I can get the panny for about a little more than $100 less than the others and I read about the good viewing angles of the panny. Is the picture on all 3 comparable or is the more expensive Sammy better? I had some concern of the panny not taking 1080p signals, but not sure that really matters as I'm not a gamer, won't get blueray any time soon, and I don't have any TV source other than OTA.


Thoughts?

Also forgot to mention that Motion blur is a concern due to a cheap tv I tried and was unhappy with.


Is the 8ms of panny good enough seeing as it is a higher quality TV versus the cheap off brand I returned? Or should I focus on the 5/6ms range? That much difference?

I'm sold on the Panasonic- great viewing angles and picture. Check the forums for problems with the sound on the Samsung. I've seen enough LGs to not be impressed.

You could set an input device, a Blu-ray player for example, to output 720p. So that shouldn't be an issue. The Panny is arguably the best 720p 32" available right now, it definitely has the best viewing angles, and it's cheaper; seems like an easy decision. I doubt that you would be able to notice much if any difference in motion blur on these TVs, but I'm guessing.

thanks for the input.


Any other thoughts/suggestions?

I just got the Panasonic for my room and I love it. For the price I think this TV is unbeatable. For reference I have a Pioneer Plasma for my main movie TV and I still think the panny looks great.
