Inexpensive HDTV advice - Trying to convert a non-believer! (1 Viewer)

[Frank_M]

Hi all -

Someone at work is ready to at least dip her toe in the world of HDTV, and I could use some help with recommendations.

She has a limited budget (probably between $700-$800, tops) but isn't looking for a huge size. Probably 32 at most. I think her cabinet space is about 35 1/2 wide.

She says she wants this TV to last a while, so I've told her she has to go HDTV, and really needs to go wide screen, and I think she's on board.

But can you recommend a few models in that range? That price range/size is not my level of expertise.

She is also not at all comfortable with buying online, so this is going to have to be something I can track down for her at a BB, CC, BJs, etc.

Thanks in advance

HP makes a 32" LCD hdtv that is currently selling for $800 at BestBuy.

My brother-in-law has the 37" version and it's a very solid set. It's got 3 HDMI inputs so that's pretty good as far as future-"proofing" goes.

Another option to consider is the 16x9 CRT sets from Samsung. I think they run about $600 for the 30" model.

I think you can buy a Sony Bravia 32" for around $800.00 or close to that.

As with anything - you get what you pay for.
