I have a 32" in my bedroom as well as my living room (they only look small next to bigger TVs in the showroom...;)).
"They" say that you won't be able to tell the difference between 1080 and 720 on screens 32 and smaller. Don't know if it is true. Both or mine receive 1080, but I can't tell the difference between 1080 broadcasts and 720 other than the TV telling me what I am seeing.
Both of my TVs are 120Hz. "They" say that fast action will blur on 60Hz. Don't know if that is true or not, either. It may not matter on the smaller screen
u.s. company? thats cool... its debatable who makes the best LCD right now. Panasonic has been said to have the best picture but again debatable. Samsung and LG are super strong too. Sony also solid.

FWIW, LG and SAMSUNG can't hold a candle to most Sony HDTV offerings. Especially the XBR top shelf level of TV's. I've been drooling for the new SONY 60" 3D XBR. IIRC, this years Super Bowl will be shown in 3D.

Disagree but sony makes good stuff too.
Really all the top makers are pretty close in picture quality right now anyhow.
My father has a beautiful huge Mitsubishi (or was it toshiba... one of htose two) and its great.
Anyhow I strongly recommend techbargains.com for a good place to look after you figure out what electronics/computers you want and see if someone has a deal on it.

My eyes quickly spot the visual difference between a SONY and anything else.
SAMSUNG and MITSU still give me verdigo.
Each maker has a wide range of t.vs and every year they update. But you typically can't go wrong with sony. I had a huge early sony xbr hdtv when hdtv were new. Was great at the time (unfortunately the thing weighed like 400lbs and I moved to NYC soon after i got it).

If you want to use that T.V. as a computer monitor ever inthe future you should get 1080p though. If not then disregard
Agree. I would probably go for both. In a 32" you can get a pretty good price without breaking the bank.
BTW, I found this:
In the United States, 1080p over-the-air broadcasts still do not exist as of 2010; all major networks use either 720p60 or 1080i60 encoded with MPEG-2. However, satellite service has many channels that utilize the 1080p/24-30 format with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 encoding (e.g. DirecTV, XstreamHD, and Dish Network).
So it looks to me as if the cable companies don't broadcast in 1080p but the satellite companies do. (I have DTV)
I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on
