Join Benchmark Reviews in a detailed inspection of the Insignia NSLCD32 32 Inch 720P HDTV Widescreen LCD Monitor.

This TV has a built-In HDTV Tuner, which allows you to add an HD-capable antenna to receive over-the-air high-definition broadcasts, where available. An optional set-top box is required for high-definition cable or satellite programming. This makes the unit forward compatible for the digital changeover we discussed in our Guide: How to shop for your first HDTV.

HDMI input provides an uncompressed all-digital audio/video link for the highest-quality 720p connection and supports copy-protected HD broadcast content. When used with a PC, the native resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels for clear, crisp images. At a sub $600.00 price range, the NS-LCD32 is a display to be reckoned with!

About the company: Insignia

Insignia is a Best Buy brand made exclusively for sale in Best Buy stores only.

The problem with figuring out just who manufactured this TV for Best Buy is that each product is manufactured by different vendors, even within the same product categories. So that while one LCD HDTV might have been terrible, another TV (even the same model) might have been produced up by an entirely different manufacturer, which makes finding out who made yours nearly impossible. Funai and LG are just a couple of the larger manufacturers that produce LCD HDTVs for Best Buy under the brand name “Insignia”.
