Our second model from Insignia is the Insignia NS-LTDVD32, a 720p, 32-inch liquid crystal display retailing for $699. The set comes in a glossy-black finish, as opposed to the earlier model we reviewed, which ultimately raises the aesthetic score of this television. A built-in DVD player is included, which might come in handy if you’re planning on using this set as a secondary display. Build quality was solid too, with the set weighing in a good 30 pounds (without the stand). A quick glance at the features and specifications of this unit.

The NS-LTDVD32 is a good midrange LCD display, and could be an attractive option if you’re making the move to HD and are on a budget. Pictures remained vibrant throughout, with nicely calibrated colors. Blacks were deep, and the built-in 8 watt speakers piped in very decent sound. The presence of two HDMI inputs is a welcome addition, as this will allow you to hook up more than one device at a given time. This comes particularly handy if you own a next-generation console, such as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Speaking of which, games should play pretty decently on this LCD – with no ghosting or immediate burn-ins. One reported minor shortcoming is the remote, where you have to push the buttons pretty firmly in order to get a response. The Insignia NS-LTDVD32-09 is a well designed product, and comes across as a solid option if you’re looking for a 32-inch LCD without breaking the bank.
YouReviewElectronics.com gives the Insignia NS-LTDVD32-09 LCD HDTV 8/10 stars!
