Sharp makes 32" 1080p LCDs

I can't say much about it's tuner, either high-def or analog, because don't watch broadcast TV, but my 32" Sharp has been great. For me, one of the thing that distinguishes a great LCD from an ordinary one are the blacks: How deep, how much/how little they wash out as you move about the room, etc.

In this size range, I doubt that I would see much, if any, difference at normal viewing distances between my 1080p panel, and a more ordinary 720p/1080i panel, but what's amazing to me is being able to get within 2 feet of the screen and *still* see more detail: Pretty amazing stuff if you watch HD DVDs as I do.

IIRC, Sharp's warranty is 1 year, and you can double this for free by paying with most MasterCards. Yes, if major repairs are needed, they are likely to basically involve replacing the whole set, but I felt if it were going to fail, it would probably do so within the first 18 months. In general, LCDs are very reliable and long-lived, more so than CRTs.

The jump in quality from a cheap standard-def TV to a premium 32" LCD will be pretty jaw-dropping even when playing regular DVDs.
