Save space in your entertainment center and enjoy vivid, colorful video with the 32-inch HD-ready LCD television with unique tilt-and-swivel stand. It can also be wall-mounted with the included bracket and is compatible with VESA 100 wall mounts. It features Faroudja's DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) video processing, which helps to eliminate jagged edges that appear with progressive-scan displays for a smoother picture. The 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing feature detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theater-like experience at home.

It has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner and it's capable of displaying high definition TV signals with an optional receiver. It features a 1366 x 768 resolution, 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio for optimal letterbox movie watching and compatibility with 1080p/720p/480p/480i HD formats.

5.0 out of 5 stars fpe3205 kicks butt!, February 8, 2006

This review is from: Audiovox FPE3205 32 HD-Ready LCD TV with Progressive Scan and PIP (Electronics)

A perfectly wonderful monitor/tv. I got it for $999 at b.j.'s. Hi-def is crisp and clear, PC input is amazing, 2 video inputs (2 reg and 2 hi-def) plus a tuner.

minor gripes: PIP only works when PC is being used... I don't know why they did that. Remote is really weird to change sources. I like to just continue "chan up/down" to got to next source like a vcr or my old phillips TV...

but really, folks, the color is crisp and clear and totally adjustable to my liking.

pros-

Price! Screen! Resolution! Clarity!!!

cons-

built-in sound is awful, external stereo required...

PIP only works when PC is hooked-up...

2.0 out of 5 stars Run... Don't Walk ........ Away From This Unit, August 21, 2007

This review is from: Audiovox FPE3205 32 HD-Ready LCD TV with Progressive Scan and PIP (Electronics)

October 7, 2006..... That is when I purchased this unit from P.C. Richards. The salesman told me how great this television was, with absolutely "no returns". The picture looked great and the price was good. I did a little research on-line, and only heard positive things about this unit. So I purchased it.
After I got it home, I was able to really give it the test, without the noise from the store. The picture quality is not bad, but the sound is terrible. It's impossible to hear this unit in a living room with kids or people talking. The volume does not go that loud, and if you do decide to turn-it-up, the sound is distorted. So, I purchased a surround sound system, and that took care of that. So if you buy this unit, be prepared to also buy a surround sound system.
In July 2007, a black line appeared on the left hand side of my screen. The unit is not even a year old, and it has to go in the shop for repairs.
Maybe I just got a bad unit, or maybe there is a surprise awaiting all those happy purchasers who wrote all those great reviews.

Bought this from BJ's as a display model for 650 BUCKS! Awesome picture..sound quality leaves something to be desired but I corrected that with a $35 surround sound system from Wal Mart.
