in the market for a new tv...

Everything does HD. That isn't the concern.

Basically if you came in here saying that your main uses were your PS3 and a Blu Ray player in a living room, I would say "get a 120hz TV that can do 24p, make sure your TV if from a good manufacturer with a good panel, etc." I would also push you to go above 32 inches (as all those features on a 32 inch TV are worthless). But from what I can tell this is a secondary TV. That means it will never be THE movie Tv or THE video game TV- it might get a HD cable box someday or something like that. Any TV on the market can do that.

So instead my advice is get whatever is cheapest, as you won't get your money's worth out of a nicer TV (ESPECIALLY at only 32 inches). Save your money for replacing the primary TV down the road (which SHOULD BE 120hz (or Plasma) and 50+ inches).

Having been here for some time, I realized when I posted this that half of all comments would be worthless "you need to be getting something bigger" ones. Thanks to smitbret and the others for their constructive help. To ultimatebob and Jack, while I appreciate your snobbery, it's not helpful. I bought the tv 5 years ago as an undergrad on black friday, am currently a grad student making next to nothing, so bug off. I'll get a bigger one when I can afford it.

That's fair... but don't forget to come back when you have some money so we can pick out a nice 65" plasma for ya 🙂
 
Didn't realize this was a secondary TV, in that case I'll side with those saying just get something cheap. My bedroom TV hasn't been turned on in 3 months.
 
If you're going to do it then might as well do it right. My only TV is a top spec 65" DLP and I only turn it on once or twice a week tops. But, it sure is great when I do decide to use it 😉
