I am limited to 33" wide in my entertainment center and I'm trying to decide on what to get. I want an HDMI or DVI input. I don't need the HD tuner, HD ready is fine. This is what I found:

Samsung 32" - $1619

Sony 32" - $1799

Panasonic 32" - $1709

Hitachi 32" - $1899

Does anything about these stand out? Brand related or otherwise?

It looks like the Panasonic has a low contrast ratio of 700:1. The Hitachi is DVI instead of HDMI. I'm thinking it's between the Sony and the Samsung. Any opinions? Any others I should look at? I plan on buying in person, not online of course. Thanks!

I have the 26 inch version of the Samsung and love it. That is a great price.

You should consider the JVC 32" 32x576. I have it and love it. Best of all, it'll be $1199 on the day after Thanksgiving.

Wow, that would be a nice deal. I don't want to think about how early I'd have to get up to have a chance at it though heh.
