Cons
Plugs are awkward (to make the screen stay thin when wall mounted)
Color changes slightly as you move around the screen. But perfect from near center.
Have not heard audio on the t.v. itself
No menu(to access settings) button on the remote control.
60 hz instead of 120hz
Only 1 component input
Pros
Lightweight
Great color and Brightness
No heat, uses only 90watts (Don't mind leaving it on all day as much)
Simple set-up
Digital over the air ready
Computer (VGA) input
Headphone output
The LED iSymphony 32" 1080p is a great television.
I was very skeptical since it had zero reviews on amazon.com, it's a brand I've never heard of. I went ahead a pulled the trigger and bought it. Special Thanks to amazon's great service and the free two day shipping for amazon prime members (also free for college students like me!).
FYI I am a somewhat audio/video nerd.
I'm writing this review after owning the T.V. for about two hours now. I hooked it straight up (HDMI) to my PS3. I tested Netflix, and am now watching Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby on Blu-ray. I'm very pleased with this T.V.
The size 32" is probably the smallest I would ever buy. I needed something that wouldn't break the bank, yet would fit nicely in a small college apartment/bedroom. There is no such thing as a T.V. that's too big for the room. Seriously, just get the biggest you can afford without sacrificing picture quality. Don't listen to the other video nerds telling you to get out the tape measure and map out the exact distances between your couch and the viewing audience. I'm testing this particular T.V. in a large room sitting right next to a 46" Samsung. The 32" iSymphony is dwarfed by the Samsung but that's ok since the iSymphony wasn't purchased for a large room. The thickness is a little larger than the thickness of an iPhone 4 around the edges, towards the center it gets somewhat thicker.
I have not used the speakers in the T.V. itself, so no comment on the audio as of now. If you are worried about the audio on a television set, you probably don't know what you are doing. Most modern T.V.'s are specifically built for optimum picture. Audio can be easily solved elsewhere using receivers and a simple surround sound. So forget about the audio.
4/5 stars all day. Forget about name brands, for the price of most Samsungs and Sonys you can buy two of these.
p.s. Don't buy monster cables.

I had never heard of this brand. I did not find even a single review anywhere when I decided to buy it. Today is the fifth day and it is working well. If you want 1080p at this price, you will not be disappointed. I have only a few 720p channels in my network and they looked lively. 1080p videos in youtube were great via the VGA input. As an additional monitor, I used VGA input from my laptop and it looked okay but it was not perfect. May be I need to make some adjustments. I have just ordered HDMI cable but I doubt it will make much (any?) difference. Some of the things I was not happy with were:
* The weight is at least 16 lbs (with stand) not just 11.1 lbs as mentioned in the specs.
* Remote control is little better than cheap plastic. Range is not so good.
* TV sound is fine but not really impressive. PC audio input was not played loud enough (From Acer Aspire 6530 with Dolby, 5.1)).
Overall, it is a budget friendly 1080p LED TV.
_________
Update after 7 days of use:
Display is still fine as an HDTV, but not suitable as a computer monitor. Watching videos from PC is okay but text does not appear crisp (tested with Windows Vista and Win 7). I tried with both VGA and HDMI cables at 1080p. I also ran best display correction wizard in Win-7 but could not improve it. Compared to HDMI, VGA was *little* better for PC-text. However, I could not detect difference while watching videos through VGA or HDMI.
Most important: TV sound is poor and even worse when PC sound is connected (Aux or HDMI). You really need an external sound system for an acceptable music or movie experience. My brother has TCL L32HDF11TA 32-Inch 720p 60 Hz LCD HDTV with 2-Year Warranty, Black and it produces much better sound.

(This is a review for iSymphony LED32IF50 32-Inch 1080p LED HDTV, Black written after using the display for one week.)
[EDIT Nov. 5, 2011: This review was written when the TV was newly listed on Amazon. I had only paid about $290 for it. That was a good value. This TV is NOT worth $399, the current price. For that amount, you should find a better brand.]
Overview:
If you're looking for a large HDTV at an unbeatable price, this is actually a great buy. It's incredibly thin and lightweight, it has a respectable array of inputs, and it has a vibrant display that looks great for gaming or watching Blu-rays. If you're looking for a capable computer monitor or monitor/HDTV hybrid, look somewhere else. And if you're looking for a high quality product that will last you many years, the price of this may be a little too good to be true.
Positives:
Unbeatable price
Thin and lightweight
Great picture
Lots of inputs
You literally can't beat this price for a 32-inch HDTV. And if you want to use this purely as an HDTV (for gaming, television, Blu-ray), it's a great buy. Since it's LED-backlit, the screen is incredibly thin and lightweight. If you were to mount it on your wall, it would look nice and flat. Additionally, the LED backlight provides high brightness, vibrant colors, and good contrast. I've connected my PlayStation 3 via HDMI, and the games and Blu-rays look fantastic. The 5 millisecond response time is fast enough to avoid any detectable ghosting. It has a coaxial cable for cable television or antena input. It has two HDMI ports, one component input, one composite input (great for playing old videogame systems), and one VGA input. The lack of a DVI input is easy to overlook given that there are two HDMI inputs. It also has a USB port for playing MP3s and displaying photos (although it does a poor job of it). It has built-in speakers which sound about as good as any built-in TV speakers (so not great), but it has an audio-out jack which can be plugged into a nice stereo, and an PC audio input jack. For the price of this TV, it really looks fantastic, and it's well worth the money if you're looking to buy a 32-inch display.
Negatives:
Unknown brand
Loud audio clicks during power on/off
Poor picture display from USB port
Virtually unusable as a PC monitor
First of all, this brand is absolutely unknown. When you get a product hundreds of dollars cheaper than its competitors by an unknown company, you can't expect great quality. I've had this TV for a little over a week now, and it seems to be doing fine so far. However, I don't expect something like this to last as long as a name brand competitor. I doubt the quality will hold up over time. I would advise anyone interested in this TV to consider buying a warranty. (Although, at that point it may be worth investing another $50-$100 for a higher quality TV from a brand like Samsung, Sony, or LG, all of which will come with warranties.)
I have this display connected to a set of speakers through a stereo. When I turn the TV on or off, it sends a signal to the stereo that causes a VERY loud click/pop noise. I've never had this problem with any other display running through the same stereo. This doesn't occur through the TV's built-in speakers. It is a nuisance, but not the worst thing in the world.
The addition of a USB port to display pictures and play MP3s is a nice idea, but it isn't executed well. The navigation is ugly and clunky. It plays MP3s just fine, but it is not a pretty interface. On the other hand, it does NOT display images well. Unlike its perfectly fine capabilities with gaming and movies, images from a USB drive lose their sharpness and vibrance, appearing grainy and dull. That is much the same way this display handles PC input, which leads me to the next point.
(If you never intend to hook your computer up to this display, feel free to ignore this paragraph.) This TV absolutely should NOT be used as a computer monitor. I bought this TV after searching for an upgrade to a 24-inch Samsung monitor/HDTV. My budget was $200-$300, and I was looking for a 27" 1080p screen. When I found this, I decided to take advantage of a great buy. Like I said, I've been very pleased with the performance for games and movies so far. Unfortunately, it is unusable as a computer monitor. Any monitor this size or larger will understandably look a little pixelated when sitting up close, but that's not the issue that makes this one so bad. I connected my computer (in my case, a MacBook, though I doubt the situation would be much different on a Windows PC) via HDMI, and the color immediately became fixed and unable to be edited (through the TV menu). That's a big deal; the color appeared drab and washed-out. The only choices available to me were contrast and brightness. Color, tint, and sharpness were grayed out in the menu. This never happens while the PlayStation 3 is connected. Not only was the color abysmal, but fine lines became blurred at certain points in the screen. When I moved a window, weird pixelation occurred that made any fine lines appear to wiggle. It was as though the display were set to the wrong resolution. Needless to say, it was at the CORRECT resolution (1080p, 60hz); it is simply a very low-quality computer monitor. Of course, it was never meant to be a monitor in the first place. It is a very capable HDTV; no more, no less.
