Sharp LC-32LE450U
The LC-32LE450U is a bit of a strange sight considering Sharp is really pushing the large screens this year. 32 inches is their smallest while 90 inches is their largest. That’s a big difference. Luckily, the difference is price is reflected in the size difference as well. This solid little TV can be had for around $300, depending on which retailer you pick it up from. Picture quality on this one isn’t as strong as some of the Samsung or Sony TVs on the list, but it competes. The direct LED back lighting helps with a bright and clear picture, but side angle viewing and color reproduction are lacking. The USB port for photo, music, and video playback is about the only extra feature this TV offers. That’s okay, because the price is just right. All you need is an internet enabled Blu-ray player, game console, or Roku box and you’ll be streaming TV in no time. Sharp also has a good reputation when it comes to a long life. That makes for a good investment.
