Hello everyone,
I'm having a lot of problems in deciding which one of those two monitors (Samsung UA32EH5300 or Sony KDL-32EX650?) to get for my parents.
This is my narrowed down list, I am not considering any other monitor partly because better models are not available in my country and also, these two are the best led full hd on sale here.
My needs are as follows:
SmartTV with internet browser and Youtube
DLNA compatible
LAN connection
WiFi ready
Can support smartphones as remote (HTC One X to be precise)
Very good viewing angles
Clear picture and decent in-built speakers
Game mode (if not, some similar settings to minimise blurring. Games played and fed via PC: Call of Duty, Crysis, Battlefield, Need For Speed...yes as you gathered, I will be using the TV myself from time to time
)
Can support a wireless keyboard
Recorder (Optional)
Possibility to hook it up to a 5.1 surround sound system (optional) - if not, ability to use an in-built virtual surround preset for movie audio
Location:
TV will be situated in the dining room/kitchen, reason why I will only need a 32" and nothing bigger (my tv shelf cannot handle anything bigger anyway).
Video formats compatibility:
mkv
avi
mp4
ts
mpg
wmv (optional)
Audio formats compatibility:
mp3
aac
wma (optional)
Video input:
TV antenna (no cable, so just sd videos via antenna)
USB (mostly x264 series, 720p and 1080p action movies stored on a NTFS-formatted external drive)
Can you please suggest which one of these two (only these two) is more appropriate for my needs and why (so I can then make a well informed decision)? They're going for almost the same price. Priority is on image quality, video format compatibility, internet opportunities and connectivity to other devices (blu-ray player, external hard drive, PC and smartphone). Aesthetics only come second.
I've also noticed that Sony Entertainment Network is not available for my country, so is it worth paying a premium on the Sony KDL-32EX650 when this feature will not be available?
Sorry about all the specifics, I just thought it might be useful
Your help is very much welcomed
