I just can't make up my mind here, so I am looking for some guidance and suggestions.
I need a 32" 1080P LED-LCD TV that would mainly serve as a PC monitor and pull double duty as a bedroom TV.
My current monitor is a LG E2350 LED, but I think it's too small for reading magazine size PDFs and way too small to use as a TV. (Distance from monitor to pillow position is approximately 12 feet)
I ordered an ASUS MT276 monitor, but it is probably too small to serve as a TV as well.
So I decided to up the ante and find a 32" FHD LED instead.
Because it will serve as a PC monitor, so the 1080P resolution is very important to me.
The LED thing is just something I want for no apparent reason.
Right now I have cut my selection down to 3 choices and would like to recieve your input on which would be the best monitor.
1. Sharp AQUOS LC32LE700UN 32-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV
Price: $605
Pros: The only full-array led out of the bunch and possibly the only full array led available at 32" in the world. It's a Sharp, ASV panels have a legendary reputation.
Cons: There's a catch. This unit is available at this price because it is a factory refurbished unit, and only comes with 30 day warranty. The dealer claims no knowledge of why the unit was returned to Sharp in the first place. The regular price of this TV would be around $800. So if it works, it's a steal. If it doesn't, I'm screwed. Shall I gamble with this. Besides, since it uses full-array LED lighting, it is also bulkier than the other 2.
Bottom line: I'm really tempted, but the warranty thing is bothering me.
2. LG 32LE5300 32-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED LCD HDTV
Price: $615
Pros: IPS are also good panels
Cons: Don't know
Bottom line: I really don't know much about this TV, it is similarly spec'd with the Sharp sans the full-array led.
3. Sony KDL-32EX700 1080P 120 Hz
Price: $699
Pros: BE3, DLNA, Internet Connectivity (I seriously doubt I would be renting movies over the TV though), and HDMI 1.4 (the other sets are 1.3)
Cons: Soon to be replaced by the EX710.
Bottom line: I've used a 32inch Sony TV as a monitor before with great results. Although my roommate thinks differently about the "discolorization" created by turning on BE.
Thanks for any help.
Any other choices that I have omitted?
I didn't include the LG 5400 set because I really don't plan to pay an extra $200 just for internet functions that I am not interested in.
