My folks are steering toward a Sony Aquos OR a DVD combo unit, 32″ max? http://digitalhdpro.com/hdtv-reccommendation-needed-my-folks-are-steering-toward-a-sony-aquos-or-a-dvd-combo-unit-32-max/706/ Your Digital HDTV Resource Fri, 18 May 2012 13:33:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: AWolf http://digitalhdpro.com/hdtv-reccommendation-needed-my-folks-are-steering-toward-a-sony-aquos-or-a-dvd-combo-unit-32-max/706/comment-page-1/#comment-883 AWolf Fri, 27 Feb 2009 21:50:31 +0000 http://digitalhdpro.com/hdtv-reccommendation-needed-my-folks-are-steering-toward-a-sony-aquos-or-a-dvd-combo-unit-32-max/706/#comment-883 1. Don't get a DVD combo! You can get a progressive scan DVD player for $30. Absolutely, buy separate! 2.Unless you are sitting very close to the TV, a 32" is minimum size, without binoculars. Remember, a 32" LCD screen will not be as tall (vertical measurement) as an old 32" CRT! 3. Sony Bravia XRB is the class of LCDs, but isn't in your price range (exception - you might find a close out on a XRB2). Generally speaking, for a 32" LCD, look for Toshiba for best quality under $900. 5. Circuit City now has a 32" Panasonic LCD, Model No. TC 32LX70 on sale for $799. This is a great buy! Unless you are going to roll the dice and buy one off the internet, grab this and run. Best 32" LCD price I've seen in a while. IMO, Panasonic is top drawer, right under Sony, and much better quality than Sharp Aquos. 1. Don’t get a DVD combo! You can get a progressive scan DVD player for $30. Absolutely, buy separate!

Sony is a highly rated brand. DVD combo unit avoids the problem of "How do we connect this DVD to the TV?" But it introduces the problem of "DVD player is broken so TV won't turn on" in some cheap models. If they want quality buy the Sharp Aquos or a Sony set.
