The Bottom Line If you don't demand the best image quality or need an HDTV tuner, the Samsung LN-R3228W's style might win you over. A step above most LCDs in terms of performance, features and styling, the Sharp LC-32D4U makes a good case for spending a bit more. While certainly not suited to discerning low-light viewing, the inexpensive Vizio L32HDTV is a good bargain for people seeking a solid everyday television. While not up to the picture quality of Samsung's topflight models, the feature-rich, uniquely styled LNB650 series still outperforms most LCDs on the market. Solid picture quality propels the Samsung LN32A450 LCD TV to the front of small-screen class.
