Olevia or Insignia for a 32"

Guys,

Before you scorn me I have a 50" Pioneer in the living room for movies!

This is for the bedroom, to be used for light watching purposes only. Both are $600 right now a steal for an LCD any recommendations on one over the other?

My recommendation would be to spend $300 more and get a Samsung. Especially if you are counting on the set's warranty and not a CostCo type warranty.

We just picked up the Insignia for my in-laws. The sales guy (whom I've now gotten 3 HDs from in the last month from) talked us out of spending 3-500 more since this set was such a good value.
I have not pulled it out of the box but will be installing it on the 26th....

Well I went tonight and spent over an hour comparing sets. The Insignia and Olevias really lacked contrast. You can visibly see the difference for $400 more. The panansonic and Samsung 32" models looked terrific.

Whats wrong with the costco warranty? Is it tough getting them to replace something you bought from there? I thought they had a very liberal return policy

Costco has an excellent return policy. In which case it would be fine to return a TV that had problems. I would not get a second-rate TV unless it was from Costco.

The LG rebates right now are great. They don't apply to Circuit City, Best Buy or other big box stores. I also got mine for wholesale plus rebates. I was considering the 50", but after getting the 42" home, I am glad I didn't. It would have been way to big for the space I have it.
