Not sure if you are a Costco member, but they have decent deals on TVs and usually give a free extension of the warantee.

personally, I own a Vizio and it does the job.

Some of the reviews say the stand and speaker's suck.

Some of the reviews say the stand and speaker's suck.

personally I would go with a brand that is trusted for making quality tv's like Samsung, Vizio, Phillips, Sony, etc. rather than buying a super bargain... but that is just my two cents.

You can get a variety of LCDTV panels shipped for free from Amazon.com.

I would stick with the following brands:

Vizio
LG
Panasonic
Samsung
Sony

Of those brands mentioned you can get a quality 32-37" panel from either Vizio or LG for ~$330 shipped or less.

32" LG $299.99 + free shipping sold via TigerDirect thru Amazon.com - solid deal:
