The Bottom Line The Sony KDL-32S2000's impressive image quality and slick styling make it a viable HD LCD option, but there are lots of better values available. While it's blessed with attractive looks and a solid picture, the higher price of Sony's KDL-32M4000 will turn off many 32-inch LCD comparison shoppers. Solid picture quality propels the Samsung LN32A450 LCD TV to the front of small-screen class. 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.
