The HP LC3200N LCD Tv is actually a rebadged Sharp Aquos, with every imagineable input hookup available.

The picture quality and menu are identical, except HP has a few extra inputs and also 6 extra color controls.

It’s user display is user friendly. and the backlit remote is easy to use. The extensive color management should get you the type of picture you want.

If you detach the speakers you’ve yourself a great looking set with a piano gloss finish.

It’s speakers has a Dolby Virtual surround-sound mode but that wouldn’t be much of a factor since most people would want to hookup their own sound system to this set.

The color quality, sharpness and contrast cannot be rivalled by cheaper unbranded LCDs, whether you’re watching high definition transmission or an analog one.
