	1.	Loewe Individual 32 DR+ (32-inch LCD)   CNET Asia rating: 8.5 out of 10 The good: Custom design options; integrated convenience; striking images; superior sound. The bad: Scant connectivity; fussy operation; unnatural colors and movement. The bottom line: Loewe's Individual 32 is one of the most innovatively designed and eye-catching TVs ever. But the customizable style comes at a price and you can get the same performance for a lot less. Review | See full specs | Rate this
	2.	Toshiba Regza 32WL68E (32-inch LCD)   CNET Asia rating: 8.0 out of 10 The good: Stunning pictures; jitter-free visuals; above-average styling; dual HDMI terminals; 1080p-ready. The bad: Bass-shy speakers; cumbersome remote control. The bottom line: A pioneer in 100Hz display technology for flat-panel TV, the 1080p-ready Toshiba 32WL68E does video convincingly across the board, one of the best among its class.

	3.	Panasonic Viera TX-32LX700M (32-inch LCD)   CNET Asia rating: 8 out of 10 The good: Fluid HD pictures; revealing shadow details; dual 1080p-ready HDMI; onboard photo viewer; inbuilt SDHC card slot; solid stereo imaging. The bad: Bass-shy audio; soft PC text; plastiky construction. The bottom line: The feature-rich Panasonic Viera TX-32LX700 is a strong performer in HD and color reproduction, losing out only in terms of a less-than-desirable software menu and facade.

	4.	Hitachi 32LD9800TA (32-inch LCD)   If you are an enthusiast or videophile with an eye for tantalizing figures, the 32LD9800TA is what you have been waiting for. Putting aside the standard 1,366 x 768-pixel resolution, the popular In-Plane Switching LCD panel promises a class-leading 10,000:1 dynamic contrast. This is complemented by a wide 178-degree viewing angle and fast 7ms response time. The only other rating that is rather down to earth here is its 500cd/m2 brightness which is still a notch higher than some of its peers. See full specs | Rate this
	5.	LG 32LC7R (32-inch LCD)   Besides sporting a highly sought-after Super-IPS panel, the 32LC7R also delivers an ultra-high 10,000:1 dynamic contrast. This topples the 8,000:1 numbers hawked by the Editors' Choice Samsung Bordeaux Plus, though the LG's modest 1,000:1 average contrast indicates a rather unrealistic 10-fold leap. Having said that, we are pretty sure this LG is still an enticing model on paper, taking everything into consideration, particularly the panel's blazing-fast 5ms response time and industrial-leading 178-degree viewing angle.
