A 32 LCD TV or larger is commonly used for family rooms and of course, the question is HDTV or not? With a 32 LCD TV the options in resolution with HDTV are widened and normally this size screen suits almost any sized room though it might be larger than a small bedroom or seldom used guest room requires as well as more expensive. With the LCD screen and with flat screens available the 32 LCD  TV will take up less room than the old CRT display TVs.

When looking over the choices in 32 LCD TV brands the HDTV resolution choices expand. 720p resolution is rarer than it used to be since 1080p is becoming the industry standard however it can be found, and the price for the lower resolution is somewhat less.

Perhaps a 32 LCD TV with both a high resolution and good looks appeals and the LG 32LH30 32″ 1080p TV might be a contender. It has a very slim line with a swivel stand. This combines looks with mobility.

The resolution is 1920 X 1080, a pc input, 2 speakers and a HDMI input. This 32 LCD TV combines a lot of features and is of a reasonably good size. The speaker quality may not be the best but this TV allows the user to use their own home audio system as well as use it as a PC monitor.

Not sure that a 32 LCD TV with 1080p is what you need? Then perhaps the LG 32LH20 32″  720p LCD is more to your taste. The this 32 LCD TV offers  resolution of 1366 x 768p, a dolby speaker system, and is energy compliant. With the LG 32 LCD TV several options in customizing your TV experience from the sound to the contrast easily.

A 32 LCD TV that is full HDTV capable may well suit some purposes though the cost may be a little more. Vizio offers a 32 LCD TV that is Full HD, the Vizio VA320M 32-Inch Full HD 1080p might be the perfect HDTV for certain shoppers.

It comes with TruSurround high def audio, 2 HDMI inputs 2 composite inputs, a USB port and is energy star compliant. This 32 inch LCD TV has a slender  and good looks. This particular brand is known for its economy, combined with features.

The 32 LCD TV made by Panasonic is a little larger (wider) television and  is very adjustable. The Panasonic TC-32LX85 720p HDTV comes with some attractive features, with the nice sized 32 inch screen, an image aspect ratio of 16:9.

There are two speakers included in the package and 3 HDMI inputs, 2 composite video inputs, an S video and an SD memory card slot. 720p is excellent as far as economy for a first HDTV and upgrading to a 1080p resolution is an option if the shopper finds they like the new technology.

So how do you decide what resolution of HDTV is for you, and is the higher resolution worth the extra cost? A real HDTV fan with experience in the higher end HDTV resolutions may well go with the 1080p 32 LCD TV and be very satisfied. Especially if they plan on using it to display videos and HDTV programming.

On the other hand a shopper new to HDTVs might choose to go with 720p resolution and enjoy the lower cost while seeing what the HDTV rage is all about.

How many peripherals you want to connect to the 32 LCD TV also has a bearing on which one is for you. Some of these brands come with a myriad of input ports and types. Some come with built in tuners that should be considered if the TV shopper plans to capture free HDTV broadcast by local stations.

If not then the built in tuner may not be a deciding factor.  However if connection to a gaming system or PC is planned then the 32 LCD TV selected should have the PC input or the HDMI inputs available to accommodate them.

How well the size of the 32 LCD TV fits the room is also a deal breaker for many. The LCD display allows for more compact and thinner TVs than the old CRT displays did but there are variations in thickness and stands that can make the difference in how well the TV fits the room.

Looks may not be the prime consideration of every person considering a 32 LCD TV purchase but there is a lot of variation in exteriors and some of these brands are just more aesthetically pleasing than others.

On the positive side, the 32 LCD TV can fit a moderately sized living room, or a large bedroom and make viewing easy. There is a lot of variation in not only resolution but input options so they are very flexible as regards use. Anything from a gaming system to a computer monitor to a home media system can be hooked into these TVs with ease. Flexibility is a plus.

Generally a 32 LCD TV is the smallest size that might be usable for family viewing. It is the smallest screen size that offers so many choices by so many brands in resolution and input. It is very reasonably price even for those with more options. Shopping for a 32 LCD TV is basically simple if you can select the HDTV resolution, the rest falls into place.

The choice of a new 32 LCD TV is usually preferred due to the warranty and because technology changes so fast that older models are soon outdated.  The 32 LCD TV with HDTV capability is not a budget breaker for almost anyone and is presents enough options to suit nearly any purpose.

The sound systems are not always of the best quality but with a 32 LCD TV there are plenty of ports and input choices to use your own sound system if you choose. Its a great size TV and a good choice for the person new to HDTV and those who are real HDTV experts.

Full Review

It can be a bit tough finding a decent HDTV that is less than 40 inches and still capable of handling 1080p resolution. Fortunately the LG 37 LCD TV handles full HD content and does a wonderful job doing so.

One of the interesting aspects about this TV that separates it from the rest is that it weighs only 40 pounds.

The smaller size allows more options for TV placement and the swivel stand that it has can rotate up to 20 degrees left or right to avoid the need of relocating your seats.

The viewing angle is also a lot better than some of the other models out there, but things should look best at 45 degrees.

Because of its smaller size, no Picture-in-Picture feature has been included in the LG 37 LCD TV. The backlight starts off a bit bright, but it has plenty of picture modes that you can use to find the best settings that look best for you.

What really stands out though is the above average sound quality in the LG 37 LCD TV’s integrated speakers. The audio menu is pretty basic, but it offers 5 sounds modes depending on the type of broadcast and a Clear Voice feature. An SRS TruSurround XT option is also available, but it requires the Clear Voice feature to be turned off.

Watching high definition broadcasts and Blu-ray movies are quite an experience with both the image and sound very good, but standard definition material has poor handling of black levels and offers less latitude.

It does have several nifty ports including 2 HDMI inputs, a USB port and even an RGB input along with S-Video, but no sign of an Ethernet port. The power consumption is exceptional at just over 70 watts and the standby feature that reduces it to 1 watt is a rather welcoming feature.

Product Summary

The Good

The LG 37 LCD TV features full 1080p resolution, has some great picture modes, and superb sound quality. The lightweight and small profile combined with a large viewing angle and swivel stand allows you to place the TV in spots where other TVs may not perform as well.

The Bad

No Ethernet port and Picture-in-Picture features are found in the LG 37 LCD TV. SD resolutions aren’t handled very well.

Bottom Line

If space is an issue and HD transmissions or 1080p are a must, this small and affordable LG 37 LCD TV.
