Sony KDL32SL130 32" LCD TV
Here is a good tip. I believe that the unit that Costco sell as Sony KDL32SL130 is actually a Sony model found at other stores under the name of 32S3000. This is a familiar Costco tactic. They assume that customers might as well rely upon Costco to do product research. And it most cases it works out well. I did own a TV purchased at Costco. It broke before the extended Costco warranty expired, so I got all my money back. I did not have a problem getting another TV from them - they had discontinued the brand that I had, so apparently they can learn from their mistakes. Bu in the case of KDL32SL130 there is would have been no shame in keeping the product name untouched! Consumer Reports rated 32S3000 as the best 32" LCD HDTV in a recent electronics issue. So, I am forgoing the usual pros and cons run down.
User manual for Sony KDL32SL130 TV:
Not only reviews, but personal experience have convinced me that Panasonic is currently perhaps the most reliable televisions in both plasma and LCD categories. I have seen a good number of commercial projects where Panasonic was the brand of choice. It is, of course, my tradition to make manuals easily available for every piece of electronics that comes to my attention.
