What You Should Know about the LC3200N

Good Screen Size For the Bedroom

Typically, HDTVs with a diagonal screen size between 32 and 36 inches, such as this model has, are LCD televisions with a resolution of either 1366 by 768 or 1920 by 1080 (1080p). For most people, the optimum viewing distance for an HDTV screen of this size is about 5 to 6 feet. That makes such a screen a good fit for the bedroom, the den, or a small living area.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Reasonably priced, lots of ports

Weaknesses: n/a

Overall Evaluation: This HP TV is very similar to the Sharp Aquos, but has more ports and more color selection which I really like. The picture quality is suberb and the size of the tv is great for watching movies. It would be nice if this TV had a height and swivel adjustable stand, but other than that I reccommend this tv.

Strengths: picture quality, durability, design

Weaknesses: n/a

Overall Evaluation: This is a re-branded Sharp Aquos TV. I love the Sharp TVs, but the re-branded HP cost less (for me anyway), so I bought the HP. This is my first HD and 32" TV and I am very happy with this purchase. This TV has great vivid picture quality, various inputs/outputs, easy to set up, and user friendly. I highly reccommend this TV. I have not used this TV as a computer monitor.
