Introduction
The Sylvania LC321SSX (approx. $329) is an entry level LCD television. The fact that its limited to a 720p resolution is not surprising at this price range, but the surprisingly inability to even support 1080p content is a red flag indicator that all may not be well. TVs like this can be a bargain, as long as you know what you’re getting.
Editorial Note: This is a review of the Sylvania LC321SSX. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the LC32xSSX series. The LC32xSSX series includes the following models: LC320SSX and LC321SSX. Read here for more details on series differences.

Samsung UN32D5500 LED LCD HDTV Review
The D5500 has a rather high MSRP of $699, considering it’s only a 32-inch TV. There are some “premiums upgrades,” a term we use with some dubiousness, knowing that these features can be far less valuable than they appear. Nevertheless, at its core this is a good television. If you can find it a significantly reduced price it would make a great addition to a home theater. Read More...
