i think my sister has a subscription, i'll ask her for it on saturday... but wow, the 32 Aquos isn't on the list.. and it's 1080p. But if the Panas is the same as the one i posted on the first page... i might get that, since it'll be a touch over $500 w/ my friends discount.

There's actually 14-32" models that they tested and all of them were 720p, which maybe why they left out the Aquos.... Or they couldn't get ahold of one at the time of testing.

But if the Panas is the same as the one i posted on the first page... i might get that, since it'll be a touch over $500 w/ my friends discount.

Yup, the Panny is the one you mentioned, the TC-32LX700.... And the price they paid was $950, so $500 or so is a great deal... :)

it helps that he works for a mouse controlled mega-corp w/ lots of buying power. ill have to see the Sharp and the Panasonic side by side to see if the extra $250 is worth it.

For 32," maybe the 1080p isn't as significant as it would be with the sizes 40" and above...

I guess I should merge the DVD/HDDVD/Blu-Ray thread into this one since they fall under Home Theater....

Personally, I would keep them separated. They are distinct enough topics to have their own threads. My opinion, of course.
