The Bottom Line Although Sony's KLV-S32A10 LCD produces relatively deep blacks, its overall image quality isn't worth the higher price. Although it's not the best iPod-friendly TV we've tested, the Panasonic TC-LX1 provides a convenient, affordable gateway to access video and music based on your iPod or iPhone. While not quite as good for home theater as the best plasmas, the expensive Sony Bravia KDL-V40XBR1 puts on a pretty face and delivers an impressive picture. 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.
