Whats your price range? I got a Vizio 32 in tv for my bedroom for $650 off of Dell as a high school graduation 2 months ago and it works like a charm.

Looks solid. Can support 1080i which is great, most games are 720p anyways.

That is the TV i got just hours ago. I'm still waiting on my HDMi cable to play my PlayStation 3 in HD so I haven't seen how the HD experience looks like yet, but it seems that the Wii games don't look much better and possibly worse in some ways.

you don't need an hdmi cable to play hd. actually 720p looks better than 1080i because its progressive. This tv seems to be perfect for the price. I would get an hdmi cord but i don't have an xbox elite

Remember too...Best Buy has a 30 day return policy...just set it up...try it for a few weeks and note when the 30 days is up...as long as you have the box and return it in like new condition they take returns very easily. Gives you the luxury to see if you like the way games play on it.

Sure it will be fine, as long as you don't have a quality TV next to you, you won't know what you're missing :?

When I Saw A Dynex, They Had The Worst Picture I Have Ever Seen And They Were Playing A HI DEF DVD GASP. Stick With Well Known Brand. For That Price Get An LG, Samsung etc. The only Budget Brands That Are Decent Are Vizio(These Tvs Are Usually Praised As Having The Best Picture For Budget Tvs And At A Good Price), Insignia(Basically An LG, Very Good Picture For A Budget Tv.) Olivia(Not Bad Picture But Unreliable.) Look In To Them Budget Brands If You Want A Decent Picture, Dynex Are Blurry As ****

I would say go for a Vizio. The quality is really good on the TV for both games, movies, and television shows( when you have an HD box of course). The 32 in I got was only $650 off of Dell, and I have not been disappointed yet.

Any Tv Will Look Good In A Shop Cuz Its On Dynamic And As The Shop Is Bog And Bright The Picture Will Look Good In The SHop But Crap At Home. It Was The Same With My Samsung Plasma, Looked Good In The Shop But Got It Home And Buyers Remores Set In Quickly. Im Just Saying Dont Go By Sight Alone, Ask The Salesman, Read Reviews On The Internet.

www.trustedreviews.co.uk

That Website Is The Most Reliable I Have Seen On Tv Reviews, Its A British Site But Tvs Are The Same, Look Up Dynex On It, It Only Got A 3/10.

'Savy950 says: Worst Tv Ever, Picture Looks Munted'

'TrustedReviews says: Only Buy If You Are So Broke And Cant Afford A Vizio Or Insignia Budget Tv, If You Are Looking For A Decent TV Buy These.'

'Tommy91 says: took it back right away, changed for a vizio and i am impressed by the vizio, AVOID THIS TV'

So Theres A Lesson, Do Your Research On Good Tvs Not Just Affordable, You Want Affodable But You Want Quality Aswell.

Of Course Best Buy Rate It High Its Their Own Brand They Will Do Anything To Sell It. Take Some Advice From Me (Im A Tv Salesman/Calibrater) DO NOT BUY A DYNEX!!!! Stick With A Major Band You Could Get So Much Better At This Price Even Other People On This Board Are Saying That, Trust Me A Dynex Is A Budget Tv With A Low Contrast Ratio So Blacks Will Look Grey And Colours Are Not Realistic, Skin Tones Have Oranguey Hues To Them. Trust Me You Are TEN TIMES BETTER GETTING A PROPER BRAND!!! This Is Professional Advice, Everyone Who Bought A Dynex In My Store Has Bought Them Back And Traded Them For Better Tvs And The Relief On The Customers Face....... DYNEX=CHEAP CRAP, DO NOT GET IT!!!!

i just was looking at this tv again today. The colors are alittle dark but the tv looks just as good as the other brands. The people were not orange or anything. And i don't have $700 bucks to spend. Going from a 7-8 year old tv that had a broken power button and would shut off for 15 minutes at a time to a brand new hd should be fine

I shop at Bestbuy so I am not trying to be elitist but most BB customers don't know their A from their elbow and I wouldn't go by customer review on TV's or stereos from there.

I wanted to buy a cheap 5.1 system that I could possibly upgrade the speakers later and saw the customer reviews for this

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8743595&type=product&id=1202648988836

it got a 4.3 and was praised for its sound quality...I went and listened to it and it sounded horrible.

Anyways my girlfriend works at bestbuy (has for a cple years) she works in the home theater dept and she said never buy Dynex. They get returned all the time and are unreliable and the picture quality is terrible.
