Looking for some HDTV recommendations. I might've found a new apartment and we may have a bit of extra cash to move in with, so I'd like to see about getting an HDTV, but I really know jack shit about 'em.

First off, it must be available in Germany or Austria. I want the best quality for cost, so nothing dirt cheap with shit quality, but probably not a Sony Bravia, either.

I would say size ... hmm ... perhaps a 32" is probably an average size, right? Nothing large, but nothing small. Average.

I also would like to have at least one VGA input that way I can hook up my laptops to the TV. I will eventually build a nice PC that will have HDMI hook ups on it through the video card, but VGA is still useful for my EEE PC and my Acer laptop.

I can't really think of anything else. I don't want to set a price cap, because I really do not know what these things go for with my specs and I've not really done a lot of looking. I plan on heading into one of the big electronics stores to check out what size would be best and look at prices, though, but it would be nice if I could go in there with some information.

Obviously, personal experiences are always best. What you see in the store is always made to look better or whatever and you can't get a good idea of usability or whatever. So if you own it and would recommend it, PLEASE TELL ME.

Can someone tell me (and Onidax if he hasn't got it yet) why I shouldn't get this?

My PC Monitor is LG, and I love that, so I'm seriously considering getting this TV.

You recommend a brand new high end technology to someone on a budget?

Waiting more then a week for a release is pointless, there's always something around a corner.

I don't need the hottest of the hot. I just want a nice TV with HD capability. I mean, here in Vienna I can get an HD DVR with 320GB of storage for just €6 a month.

No need for full HD on a 32" waste of money imo. Trust me divx and xvid have amazing colour reproduction on a good LCD. My Samsung LCD has an improved 3d colour filter and progressive scan which make the picture look amazing, very colourful. The problem isn't resolution so much but color reproduction thats why ordinary TV signal sucks so much +interferences. Ofc it could have better res but divx hardly has a better res and it looks great. No need to buy HD muvies, just get an HD provider for TV programs.
