1. If you have to stick to those 2 brands, then either go with the cheaper one or the one that looks better to you in store. Both are essentially no-name brands. So there's not a lot of compelling technical or brand difference expectations from them. Unless perhaps you need the PC input of the Telefunken (the stats you list on the Sanyo don't say if it has that or not), then go with that. So that's why I say go into a store and look. Let your eyes make the final decision. Which ever one your eye is drawn to more is likely the stronger option. Or also look at customer reviews for both online. See if people are flagging any issues/dislikes about either model. A few bad reviews could mean bad customer service and nothing wrong with the TV. But a lot of bad reviews likely means there's an issue on the TV. Personally, at 32", I'd sooner recommend the Panasonic TC-L32X1 ($380 on Amazon). Or the TC-L32C12 (essentially the same TV, just no iPod dock). Either of those would likely be a bit more expensive, but a lot more reliable.
