I find it hard to believe that a new TV does not have the HCPD. even the <$100 TV in my toilet has it. I've never heard of vizio, but they probably use commodity parts that have the necessary functionality.

Well I bought a Panasonic Blu-ray DVD Player DMP-BDT220...

...so now I just need to buy a BluRayDisk to be 100.00% sure.

Any suggestions as to BluRay Media? Something epic? Perhaps: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-The-Motion-Picture-Trilogy-Blu-ray/12237/

The newer disc release the better. Content doesn't matter I much, but you may want to check out the 3D.

I've just noticed how ridiculously affordable TVs have gotten in the last short while. I have two friends who simply do not own a flat-panel TV. I was able to find new 40" 1080p displays for under $270, less than I had expected to pay for a 32" set. My local Sam's Club has a mammoth 65" Vizio LED unit for a completely reasonable $1550. I don't know if that carries over outside the US, but it speaks to the idea that TVs are going to be ridiculous come the holiday season.

What's the best 32" 1080p LED TV? Not too concerned about price. If it's super quality/lots of options I'll pay the premium.

I don't own (and have no plans on buying) any surround sound/audio gear. I may hook up a decent sounding 2.1 computer speaker set to the analog audio out port.

I know diddly-squat about TVs, but I believe LED back-lighting is better than CCFL back-lighting. Right? I have determined that 32" would be the ideal size and I want 1080p as I'll be hooking a computer up to it as well.

I'm kinda looking at this Panasonic: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889187230 which is $481.99 (w/free shipping and no tax). Good/Bad deal? Now if something as good is available from Costco even better.

What are your thought on service plans for 1/2/3 years at $50/$70/$90 worth it or waste of money?

Much thanks in advance.

I will Samsung LED tv this festival season
