Yea 1080p for a 32" is a bit of overkill, of course this is from a guy with a 1080p 37" in his bedroom!

Hey, so these 32"-37" Vizio, Polaroid, and Samsung sets I see on sale for $699-$899 are a good buys for the bedroom? I was a little turned off since I saw 720p in the specs.

Ken T,

It looks like Sharp has scooped Sony with their LC-32D62 and the (higher end) LC-32GP1U. Why settle for less resolution? Will there be a 32XBR5 coming soon?

After an investigation of the Sharp Aquos LC32D62U and the Sony KDL32XBR4, they both have an important adjustment missing, White Balance. I can live with the absence of 1080p on the Sony (768p), but I was surprised that it does not have the capability to adjust the white balance, color by color, like most of the other XBR's. And the Sharp LC32D62U also does not have the capability to adjust the white balance. This, in my opinion is an important feature on "high-end" TV/Monitors to achieve accurate color.

I looks like the only 32" HDTV that has full white balance adjustments is the Samsung LN-T3253H. And the Toshiba 32HL67U has only G/B drive settings, no bias.

Ken are you sure there is not a white balance control in the service menus?

AudioGuy,

Unless its a hidden menu, the user's manual for both the Sony KDL32XBR4 and the Sharp LC32D62U do not show provisions for R/G/B gain/bias settings. If you find out otherwise let me know.
