I used to have a Sony 27" but it started to mess up so I had to get a new TV.So I went to Circuit City and I bought a Samsung TXR3265.

Samsung 32" HDTV Monitor (TX-R3265)
• 32" DynaFlat™ screen
• A/V versatility
• 4H digital comb filter

• HDTV monitor
• Velocity scan modulation
• 1080i resolution

summary:
32" flat screen: Enjoy a great picture from a stylish display. Samsung's DynaFlat™ screen not only minimizes distortion and glare—it also increases the viewing angles, so you get a perfect view from anywhere in the room.

HDTV monitor: Just hook up an HD receiver to experience the stunning clarity offered by high-definition programming.

Improved picture: The 4H digital comb filter and velocity scan modulation deliver crisp images, while Digital Signal Processing processes analog signals to digital format. 3:2 pull down technology keeps movies looking their best.

A/V inputs: A full array of A/V inputs—including component video—guarantee sharp, smooth images from digital video sources like DVD players and satellite receivers.

Video presets: Choose from four different presets for the perfect picture settings.

Audio presets: Five different sound modes—including a custom setting—help deliver the perfect audio type for whatever you're watching.

Ok so I only paid $579.97 plus tax it was $632.92 open box.The guy told me that it was just open like 4 weeks ago.Problem is weak sound when playing Halo.Its like getting a stock car and trying to bump your fav Hip-Hop CD,That loussy.The color is way off, even when trying different modes, it never looks good comparaid to my old 1998 Sony Wega and its not even HDTV.Sony's color modes are assum Playing Xbox looks great...Even Halo.Samsung ...ummm lets just say that Halo was never meant to be played that way...The worst thing is that the picture has static in the background.At first I thought it was the cable reception and Im like I'll play some anime and other stuff.I have dl anime and tried it and it looks bad.So then i tried the Matrix DVD original and I still see satic.Dam Samsung sucks..

Keep in mind I work 12 hours from 5am to 5:30pm I don't get home till 6:00pm,So TV is all I got when I get home.Im looking for something in the price range of $632.92 with tax HDTV or not.But quality must look sweet.

Try a visit to avsforum.com (http://www.avsforum.com) , the people there are smart about these things.

The reason it was an "open box" probably is because someone returned it. The first buyer probably didn't like the quality, either. Anyway, I think with this TV, you're expected to provide your own audio system if you want good sound.

The color is almost never correct out of the box.
You can use a dvd calibration disc to fix this. Two popular discs are AVIA and DVE. You could also use the THX optimizer found on some movie dvds if you don't want to buy a calibaration disc.

I would avoid buying open box items that are that expensive, especially televisions. Before buying the next TV, read the reviews on avsforum and Epinions.

Well I didn't go online I just went to CC look and it looks good.But what I found out is that the stores play HD content to look nice.But when you get home all your analog stuff looks like shit.....Well I think Im going to save some money and rebuy Sony 27" its a great tv looks awsome for only $300 or so.....The only reason I got HDTV is cuz I thought that the DVD's like Matrix ect..Would look sweet but I guess that ain't HD content...lol I will just wait untill next year when that standard will be enforced to broadcast HD content on all channels....meaning cheaper prices.......
