Consumer Reports gave this brand high decent rating. After reading online reviews, I decided to check it out at the store and the picture looked good. With my HDMI connection to HD DirecTV, it has a great picture. Couldn't be happier.

I found this HDTV to be an excellent option at a low price for a full 1080p HDTV. It is easy to setup and comes with a full programmable multi-equipment remote. One thing it does not have (which the family is split as to if it is good or bad that it is is missing) is that it does not have auto-source detect (when a new video source is detected it switches automatically). The only other minor issue is that with a micro-computer we have connected it will display the VGA in full 1920x1080 resolution but when using the HDMI input from the same mini-computer it will only show up to 1650x1050 resolution properly. In general, a very nice unit for an excellent price.

I've had this tv for about one month. It was amazingly easy to set up. Four screws and you are good to go. I am not a "tv person" - and so had not had a new tv in many year. The picture is so incredible that I cannot believe the difference coming from a tube tv. It is a wonderful tv at a very reasonable price.

I purchased this TV the day before the Superbowl to watch with my step-son (his first SB ever.) at my new apartment. It set up easily with no surprises. We watched the SB the next day and it was incredible looking! I enjoy all the features it has and have a hard time of thinking of anything it is lacking. The picture is great and I like the quick color preset adjustments. The remote is easy to navigate as are the menus onscreen. The sound is good and more than suitable for regular TV watching. For "special" viewing I have it hooked up to a my old Aiwa stereo system and it sounds great while watching a DVD or a music performance. I have it hooked up to a cable set-top box which I was pleasantly surprised only cost me two dollars more a month to see all my normal channels in HD. I have a set of rabbit ears to pull in local stations that I purchased before I could swap out my old box and the off the air signals were great as well.
The picture is pretty awesome with a very good black.

I own a 19 inch so I knew that the sound might be an issue. The hook up took care of any problems. It is a good HD TV when you are on a budget.
Glad I bought it.

This Insignia TV is amazing. Featured as Best Buy's home brand, Insignia reflects the best features current TV's offer. The picture is breathtaking and the sound quality matches the visual capability. It enhances the PS3 experience and encourages the use of Netflix. It truly was the component that I was missing and didn't even know it until the first time I saw a 1080p picture. This Insignia is worth every penny and with the 2 year limited warranty included there's no excuse that justifies not purchasing this TV.

this tv lasted exactly 3.5 years and luckily we bought a 4 year warranty! it was a great tv while it lasted. one day out of the blue the picture would just fade to black and sound would still be on. turning off the tv would make it come back on but over a 2 week period of doing this it finally just stayed black. every so often i'd turn it on to see if it was "better" and the sound only worked for a few days, then nada. i don't know what we did wrong to mess it up, all it does is sits on the tv stand lol. i guess we watched it too much hahahaha. odds are though we'll be trading it in for the same one, and buying another warranty.

Bought this TV to replace a Sony and was very glad to have bought it. It was easy to set up and worked right out of the box. It has a great picture for the price. Great for a bedroom or small area.

Purchased this TV for my room and for when I move out (saving for house right now). As this was my first venture into the HDTV market I wanted to do all the research possible. After reading all the positive reviews I decided to go with this when it went on sale for 400. Easily one of the best purchases I have ever made. Fantastic picture and everything. I believe it is a GREAT TV for a bedroom/guest room or something to that effect. For a Living Room I would go with a 120MHz variety to prevent the pixelation during sports/action movies but that isn't due to the TV as all 60MHz TV's are that way.
If you are on the fence about this TV get off of it and just purchase it already!

So far I am loving this tv. I use it primarily for my game systems or watching movies via netflix. The picture quality is amazing and when you look at it from the side it doesn't get the funny colors you see in some other sets. With as many ports this tv has you will not run out of room to plug everything in. It is very easy to get the picture just right for your room either from the premade settings or customizing it to your own liking. The best part of this is the nice price tag, for $400 its going to be impossible to find a better set than this. To all of you who are on the line about this set just go for it, you will be glad you did.

This is a solid buy. When I bought it, there was a Samsung 32" at the same price but was in 720p while this is 1020p with a 2 year warantee. Definitely a better buy with many inputs. Picture and sound quality are pretty good. However adjusting the picture size, though there are options, it sometimes doesn't have the right aspects for some channels and/or shows. Overally, I would recommend this TV if you're looking for a TV into which you want to plug in multiple devices such as computer, blu-ray, dvd player, stereo, etc.

I talked to a friend whose worked as a salesman for best buy for several years before purchasing this. We talked about the advantages of plasma, LCD, and LED before I made this purchase. I told him I didn't want to go too big or expensive. This was on sale at the time for 399 and he told me that LG produced this years line of insignia so you were getting an extremely well built tv, especially for this price. He side its stood up well even in situations where the tv is on all day every day (something youd know about working in a store but would maybe not find out if you bought it and a few months later there was problem). So overall, great decision. BTW if you have a PS3 you must get an hdtv (id suggest 1080p) and a gold plated hdmi cable. I found a cheap phillips cable online at walmart and got this tv. The tv hasnt greatly improved my regular tv experience (my apartment has bad satellite tv) but my video games are HUGELY better. Personally the PS3 looked close to PS2 before I got this

We've had this TV for about a month now, and so far we have had no problems. It has good picture and sound quality, was easy to set up, and is the best available in its price range. We love it and would definitely recommend it!

It's really good for the price considering the size and 1080p. I have never purchased an insignia brand product and I questioned whether or not it was gonna be good, but I can honestly say that it was well worth it. Excellent picture quality and audio.

We bought this TV a little under 2 weeks ago, and I'm so glad we did! It was on sale for $399, and the 1080p HD picture on this screen is just as good as ones we saw being sold for hundreds of dollars more! With HDMI compatability, this can be hooked up to a PC (which makes MMORPGs enthralling). We bought it along with a PS3, which is where you can really see the television's full potential played out. The picture quality is stunning. I was also very impressed with the sound quality, as it has been in my experience that you usually need to buy a seperate sound system for decent audio. This is not the case here! It does very well standing alone without any surround sound! Though if you're a fan of bass, I would suggest looking into getting some speakers and sub woofers setup. Overall, this TV is a great value for the price at the time. I was reluctant to make the purchase originally, but I'm so glad we did!

This TV was a great buy ($399) especially for the output signal being 1080p for a 32". Once out of the box the setup was very simple, just four screws at the bottom of the stand and BAM! your done. This product in size is great for a bedroom environments and office/guest/game rooms. Just had it for 3 weeks and still dont have anything to complain about. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone that is shopping for a good HDTV under a very small budget.

I bought this TV last week during the super bowl savings event at Best Buy. I had been looking around for a 32" 1080p tv for awhile and when I saw this in the store at the price of $400, I had to get it. So far I am greatly impressed.
It was very easy to set up at home. I was worried about the sound however I have determined that I don't need to hook any external speakers up to it. I may though later to had some surround sound.
The picture is great. Some people have been saying that the quality is not good if you are close to it. Simple fix. DON'T SIT RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT. I have it about 10 feet from my couch and the quality is superb.
I think that anyone that wants a HDTV that small but not too much should look into this wonderful television.

I needed a 32" TV that would fit in my 31" cabinet. I only found one other and it was twice the price, so I had put off buying it for a year or so. My nephew just bought a 40" Insignia and it looked great and he is happy with it. I read the reviews on this one and decided it sounded great and the price was right.

I bought this TV about 3 days ago. So far it has preformed perfectly. I was a little concerned about the name brand and price at first, but I couldn't pass it up. The picture is very good in HD (analog isn't that bad either). Even my old XBOX looks good now. I was also suprised by the audio from the tv. Sure it's not great, but it's not bad either. I have heard many other more expensive sets with HORRIBLE sound, so this was a plus. I guess I bought this at the right time though.....mine was a hundred bones cheaper on sale. For the price I bought it for, I would recommend it to anyone.
The only real complaint was setting up the new HDTV cable box. It took like 30-40 minutes to download the firmware for the component hook-ups. Not sure if that's normal or the tv's fault. Could be my cable providers since it took 3 calls (6 hours) to get the box set up properly. I'd put my money on it being the cable company.

I got this for my bedroom and I was thinking about getting a 42" but I decided to go with a lower price item... Good thing, my room isn't huge and I enjoy this TV very much... I paired this with my PS3 and MW2 jumps out on this screen... I've watched a few Blu-ray movies on it as well and was very satisfied...

I have not even seen this since it was delivered to my Mom as a gift. She is 70 and smart but not high techie. She carried it to the basement and set it up in 2 hours. The TV obviously is not too heavy or too hard to install. She has no complaints and has really enjoyed all the football games since mid-December and is looking forward to the Super Bowl!

I've had this TV for about 6 months and love it. After lots of research we decided on the Insignia 32" for our smallish living room. It fits great and the quality is fantastic.
Bit slow on channel changes and turning on but other then that it's a very nice unit with a great guarantee.

Almost 3D picture quality using HDMI connections to a HD cable box or a Insignia Blu-ray player. Sound is decent without a home theater system. Recommend HDMI connections for best picture quality. Easily connected to my Onkyo 5.1 tuner. Sound is fantastic with the home theater system. HD channels are spectacular. Blu-ray discs are stunning. Considered buying a twice as expensive Samsung television. Happy I bought the Insignia. This is a 1080p television and it requires HDMI cables for best picture quality. Stick to a 720p television is if 1080i or 1080p sources are not available. Replaced a Insignia 32-inch tube HD television, which was only 1080i. This LCD 1080p set is vastly superior in picture.

I was researching 32" LCD TV's for awhile and I was going to get a Samsung. But it was $160 more than this one. I still wasn't sure till I read all the reviews and not one of them said a bad thing. I was not dissapointed it is a great TV for the price.

After bringing this TV home and getting it set up, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase! The color is very vibrant and the sound is great for a TV. If you need a great TV for a low low price, look no further! I highly recommend this TV.

I researched plenty of 32' LCD sets, and this one was on sale and the lowest priced in 1080p. A great set, fantastic picture with HDMI from my Samsung BluRay player. Great contrasts, crisp picture and amazing color detail. This needs to be hooked up to a decent set of speakers as the sound from this set is just merely okay (but better than most). I wished the set had PIP, but that a slight complaint considering the price paid. A great deal and the 2 year warranty is nice as well. This compares well to Sony (way overpriced), Samsung & Philips.

Picture quality is extremely poor. I purchased the t.v. initially for my bedroom and assumed that the picture quality on the t.v. was going to be at least half decent. Evidently the t.v. was a big dissatisfaction. I suppose the picture quality could be enhanced with a Blue Ray DVD Player which was an alternative that I pursued but didn't make a big difference. Even with a Blue Ray Player; while playing standard dvds, the picture is almost as bad or is as bad as streaming videos online. I'll stop here and sum it all up; I am just very upset that the t.v. lacked significant picture quality. "Just returned the T.V."

I like how true the blacks are on this screen. Its definitely nice to see that the darks don't take on a "bluish" quality. I also like that the bottom of the remote lets you quickly change between viewing width options, the quality of the colors, and the audio options so you don't have to fuss around with the menu too much. You can also rename the ports on your TV to whatever it is connected to (i.e. DVD, VCR, PC...etc) so you don't have to remember what each one is. The menu also has a opaqueness setting so while you're changing things around in the menu you can actually see what it's doing to the picture. Pretty snazzy.
All over, a great buy. My one complaint is that if you sit too close you can see diagonal lines flickering across the screen. With a 32" tv you shouldn't be sitting too close to begin with. So, listen to your grandmother and back up!

Bought this on a whim for my 11 year old after he agreed to pay for half of it (won't make him pay but he doesn't know that) as it was on sale for $399. Recently got FIOS installed and his room was the only one without an HD flatscreen. Installation with the separate Insignia full motion wall mount, NS-TVM101, which includes an HDMI cord, was an easy 15 minute deal- having a stud finder and drill readily available. Picture quality from the FIOS HD receiver is nothing short of fantastic. My guess is that the few reviews here that do complain about picture quality are related to the signal they're putting into the TV; a lousy, non-HD cable connection will probably give you just average results. I know the sound is good because my wife came in complaining it was too loud at roughly 1/3 volume :).
One HUGE plus is the standard 2-year warranty- hopefully not needed- but twice that of most other brands. If this TV continues to perform trouble free, I will be buying another for the man-cave

Bought this to replace a Vizio or [fizio] went to cr to get reviews on tv's. This was one of there best buys, reason being price' overall quality. And i will say they were right on, like all lcd's viewing angle is limited but this one is not, good color at just about every angle, i do have it in a corner of the room which helps. Easy to navagate menu, sound is good. The warrenty is also a plus 2 years from the manufacture. I am also considering replacing my tv in our family rm. with the 55'' Insignia. It is a great buy, and it is Best Buy home product.

I had read in Consumer's Magazine that the Insignia was on the top ten of 32 inch LCDs along with the LG. I had gotten the LG for our family room, but when we updated all of our cable boxes to HD, we needed another TV for our bedroom. I purchased the 32 inch Insignia HD/LCD. The picture quality compared to the LG is so much crisper! I then ordered the 22 inch LCD Insignia for our kitchen! Also, when they are on sale, you can't complain about the price, especially after you see the quality.

For $399, it was everything I was looking for and more. And the timing for the sale was perfect and hard to pass up. A week later, the same thing happened with the Insignia blu-ray player for $119 or something like that. And the trial of Netflix that came with it was just icing on the cake.

The picture quality on this LCD TV is amazing. I couldn't be more pleased with the easy set up and qualtity - particularly for the price. I was concerned about purchasing a "no" name brand. But after reading the other positive reviews decided to give it a try. Now I wish I had purchased two!

I recently moved into a new apartment and thought now was a good time to buy a new tv. I wanted a 1080p HDTV with decent contrast and brightness and that's exactly what I got! For a price below competitors 720p tv this Insignia tv has higher resolution. The decrease in contrast between this tv and some of the higher models is no noticeable as far as I am concerned. I can see everything on upscaled DVDs, Xbox and HDTV signals perfectly day or night and I enjoy it very much. I think this was a good purchase and an awesome price.

This TV is our 2nd TV, so it's in a bedroom for when my wife and I can't agree on what to watch. When I want to watch the big game and she wants to watch another home design show, we just switch off on who goes in the bedroom. Neither of us lose because of how great this TV is, the quality of the picture, in 1080p, is just incredible, you have to see it to believe it! It's just as good as our 52" mid-higher end 1080p in the living room... it's unbelievable! Plus the price, we got it at $100 off, so $399, I was in shock - I've never seen a 1080p under $550, and the quality is exceptional, this TV should be a $600+ TV based on the quality alone!!! Pick one up before they get wind of how great this TV is and decide to raise the price!!!

This TV has amazing picture quality. I purchased a blue ray player as well and put in blue ray movies and it is night and day compared to analog tv's. The built in tuner found several digital channels and the 1080p broadcast is awesome. If you plan to watch a lot of sports I would recommend the 120hz as opposed to the 60hz but for a second tv or bedroom tv this tv is great...especially for digital shows..and the two year warranty you can't beat.

I hear some people complain about the sound in the reviews of this TV, but this is a TV not a surround sound system - the volume works and it is fine. Other than that, the picture is great - you aren't going to beat 1080p,and Insignia is the only 1080p TV for this price. If you aren't worried about the image blurring a very little bit when the screen changes quickly, and you want a lower than average price, go with this TV.

Great right out of the box. Easiet setup you could possibly ask for. Directions were clear and concise. Had the TV on it's stand, hooked up to the cable and DVD player and was actually viewing and enjoying the TV within 30 minutes. We're using this as a bedroom TV, so 32" is perfect and the picture simply outstanding. I did a lot of research on other models but decided to give this one a chance because of the price. Don't pay more, I don't believe you'll get more. Great choice for us.

I picked up this TV to upgrade a 26" LG I had. The Lg was a nice 720p, but this 1080p blows it away.
The Picture is amazing, PS3, 360 and Blue Ray movies look amazing. HD Direct TV looks great, some SD tv signals do not look that good but thats SD TV anyway. Why buy a HD tv if your going to watch SD tv. The menu was a little hard to see till I figured out how to turn the transperancy off, it's set to like 78% transparent from the factory, I turned it to 25% and it's fine.
The remote is better then average, it works both my TV and DTV box. The sound, sounds great, but at only 10watt per speaker it's a little low, but I used a nice 7.1 suround sound so not a big deal.
I'm just amazed at how good this TV looks at the price. insignia has IMPROVED alot over the last few years and is much better then walmarts brand of TV's.

This is primarly for my computer monitor. I first purchased the 37" model and got a headach and dizzyness right away (too close). I did not adjust the brightness down but decided to exchange it for this 32". Much better now, I currently have the brightness on 17 out of 30 and it is still very bright.
The picture is very good using the HDMI from my HD CPU card. I also use the ant. input for the free local HD channels. Some of the local channels seem fuzzy but I am sure its because my ant. is small and it is only a few channels. As you surff the TV auto adjusts to the correct input, ie 720 1080 480.
FYI nearly all channels are 720P reguardless of provider because of bandwith restrictions on most companies. 1080P is used mainly for movies, gaming and some VOD.
As for the 60/120 HZ, if your hooking up a blue ray buy the 120HZ.

I like this TV, but:
I am disappointed that I have to carry this thing back. It makes a loud popping noise in the speaker, which started about 3 days ago, and is happening more and more frequently every day. It's probably just a loose wire or something, but I have decided that I want a fresh one, rather than have a tech come out to repair it.
On the bright side, while I was researching TVs, I read that HDTVs usually fail due to workmanship within the first year, and if they don't, they probably won't.

It is cheap HDTV but since TV has moving pictures, resolution in many times not as great as you would hoped for. When the picture moves even in slow motion, picture gets blurry. Before you buy, you really see it in store and compare yourself if you want to buy a cheap one or not. No compaints you get what you paid for. Simple set up just plug and play.Color is good, sound is okey, features are okey.

I looked at many lcds and chose the Insignia. I waited for it to go on sale ($399) with a 2 year warranty (parts and labor). I was very happy with the picture quality and sound. It has various settings for different picture settings (theater, vivid, etc.) which is great because I use this TV in the bedroom and can adjust the picture brightness quality with the touch of a button. I chose Insignia because it is a Best Buy brand and figured that they would make a great product. So far after a month of having it I was right. It is a great product. I also have peace of mind with the 2 year warranty.

I got this television as a gift Christmas day and we set it up that afternoon. Initial set up was easy as far as HDMI cable, component cable etc. I hooked up by DVD upgrader with an HDMI cable and my cable box with componet cables. The picture was outstanding on the upgrade however at first I thought the cable was just ok. Then just so you know in case you do this I went into the menu for the cable box and seleted the proper resolution which was 1080i for HD and wow what a difference. The sound and picture are incredible and I would completely recommend this television for anyone who is looking for a smaller size HDTV for a bedroom which is where mine is. One of the best gifts I got and works perfectly so far.

For the price you cannot go wrong with this TV. Frame rates are good when playing games, watching movies, or watching sports. I'm sure there's someone out there would will complain that a 120 Hz TV would be smoother, but for what it is you cannot go wrong with this TV. For the price you get 1080p true HD resolution for the same price as the name brands 720p HDTVs. You get 4 HDMI inputs while most other brand is limited to 2.
1080p really shines with Blue-ray and this TV is awesome when paired up to a PlayStation 3. I could not believe the day and night difference between our old tube TV and this one when playing games in HD. I know all cable and satellite companies only offer 720p HDTV at the moment, but even so the HD channels are super clear and makes me not want to watch standard def ever again. I even find myself skipping over channels that are not offered in HD.
In a nutshell this is the best TV I've ever purchased. Hopefully it will last, but it does have a 2 year

I know all cable and satellite companies only offer 720p HDTV at the moment, but even so the HD channels are super clear and makes me not want to watch standard def ever again. I even find myself skipping over channels that are not offered in HD.
In a nutshell this is the best TV I've ever purchased. Hopefully it will last, but it does have a 2 year

The television is excellent. Easy to install, lots of inputs for the ps2, ps3, wii, cable/sat etc etc. Just upgraded from my old CRT to this screen and it's flawless. Might be "offbrand" but it's consumer reported as a best buy for good reason.

So easy a 3 year old can set it up, which is good because most HDTV's are hard press with time to figure what goes where. HDMI cables, Monster Cables, etc.
I'm in 1080p heaven on my PS3 right about now!!

This television is phenomenal! It's picture is amazing with sound quality to match. I bought mine for $400.00 on sale and I couldn't be happier. I hooked my PS3 up to it with an HDMI cable and all I can say is wow! The picture is crystal clear with no imperfections.

I was torn between this TV and a sony. The price sold me and I am very happy with my decision. The picture is awesome and the sound bar is great! I love the 2 year warranty. I have many things hooked up and still have room to spare. Overall GREAT TV!!

We purchased this TV when it was on sale. This TV allows all our AV components to plug into the back panel of the TV with several spare, the picture quality and the sound are great and is very easy to setup. The 2 year warranty offers peace of mind with in house service for TV screeens 30 inches and above . This TV represents quality and value for money without an outrageous price tag, we highly recommend this TV.

For the price, can't beat the TV. However, we get situations where voices on TV start to slow down, then speed up. Then we get a popping noise on the TV. This has occurred 3 times in a month. As soon as you turn off the TV and restart, the TV is fine. Other than this, we have been very pleased with the TV. Picture at 1080 is great.

I've tried just about everything to stop the motion blur and to stop some of the pixelated showing on some of the dark colors in movies and nothing. i mean the tv is great in all of the other departments but i just couldn't get passed how bad the picture looked when hooked up to my hd dvr cable box.

Insignia 32" 1080p FullHD tv is a real value for your money. You can get a stunning picture for the correct price, when compared to the 720p tv of the same size like samsung, sony, LG etc. I have did all the reviews and compared with other options and finally selected this tv. Never pay for more unnecessary for brand names.

I purchased this TV a week ago and finally got it mounted on my bedroom wall using the Insignia mount. It only took about 30 minutes to set this TV up with the mount. The picture is just great and the sound is pretty good. I also hooked up a Blue Ray player and the picture is fantastic. You can't beat this TV for the pirce. If you need a new HD TV than this is the one to buy. Don't wait for the sales, just go and get one before there all gone.

A must buy! You can not get a 1080p, 32 inch for under $500 normally. The quality has been great. Most TV's that are 32 inch and sell for around this price are only 720p, so buyer beware. This TV can do anything at a high level.

Insignia TV's are energy efficient, reasonably priced, and easy to set up. Clark Howard recommends buying these TVs and so do I. I haven't found any problems with these TVs. I have 2 of them, a 32 inch and a 27 inch.

The Insignia is a qulity product for the price. Vvery easy to install and very impressed with the picture and sound. Only have the Insignia for about three weeks but have found no fault so far with the product. I would recommend this product. Also like the 2 year warranty. I understand that Best Buy backs this with the promise if the Insignia must be sent out for any repairs that you can get a loner.

I orderd this TV online and it arrived overseas about 10 days later, which is quick shipping for having so far to travel! The TV arrived in spectacular shape, box was not damaged. The packaging was very snug. The remote feels very well built and comes with a holder that can be screwed into a wall, plus batteries for the remote. The TV has a superb picture with some minor adjustments. Playing COD MW2 on it is simply breathtaking. There was also a cloth to wipe the tv with that was included. The sound is decent for the price, but nothing to write home about. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

I purchased this tv after reading a very positive consumer report review. My sister bought one first. I was a bit skeptical until we set it up and turned it on. It was perfect! I went out the very next day and purchased mine.

This is a decent product. Bought it because of price, warranty, and connectivity. Good as a second tv for basement, kids room, etc. You will notice some blurring of images. Reminder this is a first-gen lcd at 60Hz. This is very normal with the first LCDs. I only have it hooked up to standard cable signal. Have not upgraded to HD yet as this is my first and only flat screen currently. The picture looks much better when watching DVDs

The price is the best part. I got it on sale for $399. Had to return it though due to a freeze or lock up issue but had no problem replacing it at my local Best Buy. Great for a 2nd or 3rd TV.

This TV is SO close to being perfect. For the price, you can't beat it. This thing plays blue-ray's and DVD's almost to perfection. If you want an HD TV for watching TV, this is perfect.
It's when you start using this TV as a computer monitor that you realize you should have spent the extra money. There is very noticable motion blur. It's bad enough that I tried spelling my name with the trail of colors coming off the edge of my Internet Explorer window. (ok, maybe not that bad) But playing FPS is tough on the eyes.
If you going to game on this TV, buy something else. Otherwise you will be VERY happy.

I had originally went to see the 32" Viera and LG equivalent, but really didn't notice much of a difference in the picture quality between these two and the Insignia. It was also closeout price, $60 less than the other two. I decided on it because I was told it's made for Best Buy by Toshiba, which is another well rated tv, and the warranty is two years. Easy to hook up, great picture, good sound. Noticed that the picture quality was really determined by the cable box or DVD player. A HD cable box has a great picture, the standard cable box better than a tube tv but not as clear as HD. Same with DVD player. Picture was better with my upconverting player than with my older 480p player.

Used it for 3 days now. Pic is great, sound is fine.
Impressed with remote, remote is relatively user friendly to program and use and surprised not only is it a universal remote but has learning functions too if needed.
The remote will run most of the functions of my tivo which is a big relief if the tivo remote should be misplaced.
Miss the pic in pic that my 32" crt zenith had. Haven't seen any PiP featured on any tv this shopping round but not looking at top end sets. Much easier to use remote and move though so I guess it's a wash.
The manual is actually useful and user friendly. It's the size of a magazine and comes separate in english and spanish.
Will look into it's big brother, the 42", this 32" leaves too much space around the entertainment cavity, but I'll have to rig a bracket to put a 42" on an entertainment center that only has a 36" wide opening. :p The 37" would require the same type of backet set up but not any cheaper than the

This is a really great tv.It also comes with a great warranty to,The design is nice and looks alot like a samsung.My only complaint is the sound is very low and you have to put it really high to hear it...I don't know why that is when the sound bar is huge and goes across the bottom of the tv...i think the only thing i don't like about design is the sound grill.the Grey sound grill doesn't match the piano black finish which makes the bottom of the tv look odd,

I have had this TV for atleast 2-3 months and nothing has gone wrong so far. Picture has remained the same, sound is pretty much amazing, I have enough inputs for everything I need, I even use this as a secondary monitor for my laptop (VGA). A couple tips though, if you want the best picture buy a THX movie and inside it will have a HD TV Calibration Disc. This will help people calibrate their TVs to something other than manufacturer settings. Although with most Mid-High end TV's are already calibrated right. And as for the sound, make sure to turn on the HD Surround in the settings menu, even though may not have HD surround set up, it makes a difference ;)

What a great tv! Bought this for my mom's room and we couldn't be more happy with the picture. We don't even have it hooked up to an HD cable box, so the picture we are getting is not even HD but it is just fantastic. Literally pulled it out the box, screw on the stand, and it is good to go!

This is my first HD TV. Amazingly quiet, great picture quality via monster HDMI cables with Comcast HD/DVR and Insignia Blue Ray Player. Great value, got set on sale for $399 ($20 more than the 720p version). TV sits in my entertainment center (barely). I can't use the side controls (too tight of a fit) so I hope I never lose the remote. The TV is a strong 31-1/16" wide. Sound is soso, but from reviewing other TVs, this is a common issue. For TV viewing, not a big deal, for movies, I run the sound through stereo speakers. Love the TV and am glad I purchased it.

I bought this TV after reading these reviews and seeing the TV in the store. Easy to set-up. After set up, I was really displeased. The picture quality was not "sharp" at all. I have a "samsung" and a "Sharp" lcd that leaves this TV in the dust. My son couldn't believe how bad the picture was. I returned the TV the next morning. Very disappointing. Don't waste your money.

As mentioned above, this TV died after just two weeks. Input #1, my cable TV signal via an HDMI cable, suddenly and inexplicably became green and pink, then full of snowy white lines, and finally, a jumpy, erratic, crazy mess. Input #2, my Playstation 3 via an HDMI cable, wouldn't reproduce sound, and the image would flicker and split into two. My Wii, connected via a component cable, had a clear picture and no sound. Turning the TV off and on again would solve the problems for about 20 seconds at a time.
I was highly satisfied by this TV's image quality and sound in the 16 days that it worked (especially the image from my PS3), but a hardware malfunction on a new item after such a short period is simply unforgivable, so I'll never buy an Insignia TV again. The price is right, but I guess better-known brand-name TVs at this price range (especially 1080p TVs) must be a safer bet. Careful, folks!

I have a media center PC that is connected directly to this TV via HDMI. The setup was easy but it took me some time to figure out why at 1980x1080 resolution, the picture was not fitting on the TV screen. It turns out out that Overscan option in Advanced Video settings on the TV should have been turned off. The picture quality is great: the colors are vivid and the picture is sharp. The sound quality is OK -- probably average for the TVs in this category. The power save mode does not seem to kick in when the PC shuts down -- I might not wait long enough but I would like for the TV to go into power-save mode after a minute or so of not receiving a signal.

Buy this TV before BestBuy finds out how much a good 32" digital monitor costs. And this is a GOOD digital monitor, it even goes to sleep like a monitor. In fact, the picture from the analog tuner in my PC improved more than my live TV. And it's easy to switch between. The TV is also a big step up, so there's no way to say what a value this is.
The sound is good, and there are 3 ways to hook up external speakers if you want better. The remote is pure class (except for small keys, it has SO many functions), it has program keys for 3 other components, and has a hot key for my monitor.
Everything just worked the first time, no guessing, no workarounds.

I just returned a dynex 720p tv for this one, and I'm glad I did. For a bedroom or game room this is perfect. You really need to be about 5 ft away from this tv for it to shine. 37 and 42 is too big.This tv handles all content well 480p -1080p.The sound is more than enough for most rooms this tv should be in. The Ps3 looks as good as I've ever seen too. No motion lag and a great response time help complete this package. I think this tv was made by samsung, the remote looks just like theirs. This remote is an awesome universal remote. It feels good in your hands and responds instantly.
One thing I really like is the back light option. Turning this half way down will conserve electricity by about 30 percent and will prolong the tv's life.
Overall I am blown away with the performance of this set. This truly is a Best Buy. Oh yeah, GET THIS TV!!!!

Fantastic picture with 1080p for only $500! Most sets below 40" offer only a 720p picture for the same price as this. 4 HDMI, 2 component, a VGA, & 2 S-video/composite inputs, plus a standard antenna lug means your can hook up about anything. And to top it off, you get a 2 year warranty while most other brands only give you 1 year. It'll be hard to find a better deal than this Insignia set when you consider a comparable set with a well known brand name would be at least $100 more with half the warranty. Go with Best Buy's Insignia brand.

We got this tv when it was on sale for our new house. It looks amazing and works wonders in our house. The stand turns so I can watch the tv fine in the kitchen as well. The picture quality is amazing and the tv has plenty of inputs for all of my games. The sound is also very good. I do not have speakers hooked up to it, but is still fills the room with sound. The tv does have limited picture sizes, but my cable box fixes that problem. This is the best TV for under $500.

Went to BB to replace our old set in the family room. They didn't have the one we want in stock. While walking around, we decided to replace the one in our bedroom. We saw this 1080p for 499, it looked better then the others, which were 720p for 499+. When we got it home, I set it up in the family room, on an old computer stand, to make sure it worked. We were wowed by the picture. The sound is good for something this size. It stayed in front of our old projection set for 4 days, until I had to put it in the bedroom, because the grandchild was coming over. I wasn't sure about the Insignia brand, but now I'm sold. I'm planning to get another for the guest bedroom.

Bought for my husband for Christmas. Once set up we were impressed with the whole product. It was easy to setup. The picture quality was great, the HD picture was crisp clear. Being able to change settings with one button/one step from the remote is wonderful. Setting up my laptop to this TV was a breeze. I'd never done it before and it was so easy I didn't have to pull out the manual. I'd recommend this TV to anyone.

We were looking for a HDTV to replace our old "tube" TV in our living room. We put our 32" 720p Westinghouse in the living room and bought this 1080p 32" Insignia to put in my bedroom.
While shopping at BestBuy, we were looking at Samsung and LG 720p TVs that were around the same price. We weren't sure whether to get this one or not because it is 1080p for $500 which usually means bad quality considering most 1080p TVs are up in the $1000 range. But we got it and it's great especially for the price.
In the box, there is the TV, tabletop stand, screws to mount the stand, remote with a holder, instruction manual, and a set of component cables. The tabletop stand was a little hard to put on but it swivels which is nice if you decide to sit in a different chair or something. The remote control has the ability to control DVD players, other TVs, and audio receivers. It also comes with a cleaning cloth for the screen.
There are two 10watt speakers on this TV. For being

I went into Best Buy looking at 720p models from LG, Sony and Samsung which were all in the 499 price range. I saw the 720p model Insignia for 399 and picked it out. The girl helping me found that they were sold out and offered me the 1080p version for 419 and I jumped at it. Went and added the 4 year warranty just in case and it was still about the same price as the name brands in 720p. I've been very satisfied with the picture quality and sound and ecstatic with the treatment I received from Best Buy to give me this great deal.
