"The HP LC3200N exceeded my expectations"
Pros: Excellent Picture, HD Inputs, Swivel Base, HD Tuner
Cons: Setting up Off Air Digital Channels, Remote buttons, Cosmetics
Summary: I previously owned another brand 26" LCD and was looking for something larger. COMPUSA offered 48 months interst free financing so I had to check out the HP model. I did research online (CNET) included and then looked at the TV on the floor. I was looking for a TV that offered excellent contrast, brightness and had the inputs I need for my HD upconverision DVD player, XBOX 360 and any other HD input device I play plug in. The picture quality looked excellent at the store. In comparision to other LCDs on display, I saw no weakness in this one. I understand all the variables that can impact the picture performance at the store level, but the picture still popped at retail. It may have cost a bit more, but with the financing, I couldn't pass it up. When I got home, I hooked it up, struggled slightly hooking up analog cable and digital off air and setting it up, but once I followed the owners manual exactly, was able to get it going with no problem. With my passive antenna, I receive all the off air HD stations in Indianapolis. I also hooked up my XBOX 360 through the component inputs and set the xbox to 720p and WOW, the games look great. The swivel stand is a nice add, but the general case/cosmetics look a bit cheesy. I couldn't rate it a 10, because I think it will take time to truly rate this set. I have been very happy with the purchase and would happily suggest this set to my friends.
