Geeks.com was so kind as to send me the Vizio VX32L for review, a 32" widescreen LCD TV capable of doing 1080i. At USD 469.99, this 32" LCD television is quite affordable, so read on to find out if it is worth your money.

At the big consumer electronics stores in Germany like Media Markt, etc. there are always a large number of LCD TVs on display. Those that support a resolution of 1366x768 are labelled "HD Ready" and are fairly cheap in price. Then, there are those that provide a resolution of 1920x1080 and are labelled "Full HD - i.e. full 1080i support" (and are a lot more expensive). Usually, the stores are running an HD recording through those TVs. The difference between the images on the "HD Ready" and "Full HD" TVs are like day and night.
How does that figure?
HD Ready in the U.S.A. was given to televisions that didn't have the HD (ATSC in the U.S.A.) tuner but were capable of accepting 1080i input. Many of those were also noted as HD Monitors.
The nomenclature has changed because those 1366x768 t.v. sets now are required to have the ATSC tuners and are labeled HDTV.
