10 of the best 32-inch HD TVs
Did you know that 32-inch TVs have apparently now been usurped by 37-inch models as the UK's TV size of choice?
Nevertheless, the demure 32-incher even has a heck of a group to offer. So now that we've established even-handed how many of you could potentially be interested in buying a 32-inch LCD, it's time we got down to business. Here's TechRadar's Top Ten beyond compare 32-inch TVs.. HD ready, of course..
Sharp LC32AD5E, 449 The LC32AD5E is Sharp"s ongoing entry-level, HD Ready set with no frills and an appealing price. It's a nice set, and while colours can tend to look a little off-key during clouded scenes, the performance is good for the cost point. The workshop picture settings don't arrange the Sharp LC32AD5E justice.
The occasional flimsy colour tones are counter balanced by some indeed intense, vibrant saturations. And we were further impressed by the crispness of the LC32AD5E"s HD playback. Hitachi 32LD9700, 689 There was a future when this now slightly ageing LCD TV was dainty all the more state of the art. Nevertheless it's now continuance usurped from its class-leading position by younger, fitter models.
Nevertheless, its punchy, noiseless, colour-rich and ultra-stable pictures, neat design and unusually wide viewing angle still combine to make it one to consider. Especially now that age appears to have considerably withered its price.. With outstanding pictures and features galore, the 32LXD700 is actually Panasonic's flagship 32-inch LCD. So why isn't it higher up our chart?
Because we don't think its distinguishing features of an extra HDMI port, SD card slot and amassed powerful speaker system condone the price hike over the brand's cheaper models. Panasonic Viera TX-32LMD70, 434 And so we come to Panasonic's second top 10 model. And this one's actually the brand's entry-level offering. Which way that, as fresh as the third HDMI, SD card slot and enhanced audio of the 32LXD700, it also lacks that model's 100Hz processing for smoother, crisper motion handling.
But while we complete certainly miss 100Hz here, the set still manages to deliver a performance that trounces the majority of its direct competitors. New v1.3 HDMIs, 100Hz processing, 24fps signal handling and 10-bit hue reproduction join the already impressive Bravia Engine imaging system. Our single protest is that it's hard to welcome the full worth of some of these features on a 32-inch screen, which makes the TV look a touch expensive.
Philips 32PF9641D, 678 Philips has a confusing habit of using different generations of its Pixel Plus picture processing system on different models across its LCD range. And it turns out that the Pixel Plus version on the 32PF9641D is now two generations old. But that doesn't cease the TV from producing superbly sharp, detailed, colour-rich and high-contrast images.
Instead it conscientious means you can pick the set up for a relative song. Kerching! LG 32LB75, 479 Obviously we're not so shallow as to be seduced by looks alone. But, well, they do help.. And anyway, still though the first TV from LG's distinct Design Art compass is maybe the prettiest 32-inch TV ever, that's certainly not the end of its charms.
It also boasts all manner of excellent features - including 1080p 24fps compatibility and LG's XD Engine processing - and comfortably LG's best LCD pictures yet. Panasonic Viera TX-32LXD70, 599 We've picked Panasonic's mid-range 32-inch LCD, the 32LXD70, as the brand's highest-placed mannequin for the simple intellect that it seems to submission the finest combination of price and features.
Plus, of course, with 100Hz processing on ability to assemble the ever-dependable Panasonic V-Real form engine, its pictures are an absolute joy from start to finish. Samsung LE-32R87BD, 406 Samsung's enviable position as the world's biggest producer of LCD screens means it can sell LCD TVs alike the 32R87BD at prices competitor brands frankly have to crucify themselves to match. Crucially, the 32R87BD's ask isn't exclusively its groundbreaking price.
It's extremely adorable to look at, crammed with unexpected features and flexibility, and - with the exception of a little travel blur - a really distinctive performer to boot. Philips 32PFL9632D, 763 This Philips model may not be the most expensive in our top 10, but it's also comfortably the best.
Driving it licence to the top of our 32-inch pile is its remarkable new Perfect Pixel Engine processing, which works in tandem with an innovative multi-source backlight system to principally eradicate LCD's problems with motion handling. At the same time, it serves up sensational sharpness, colours and black levels. Truly benchmark stuff.
