I want to purchase my first HDTV for my bedroom. The highest I can go is 32 inches. I would be using this for PS3 gaming(HDMI of course), Movies (some blurray), sports, and some SD channels. I am going to be sitting between 3-6 feet. If it is 1080p my budget is $900. Would 1080p be worth it at this distance? Any TV recommendations?
Answer
Firstly just for the record, ALL SCREEN SIZES HAVE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE VIEWING HD CONTENT!!!!
It all depends on the VIEWING DISTANCE!!!! (My 17" & 19" PC monitors show a noticeable HD image as I sit within 24" of the screen, as all people generally do!)
Do NOT listen to any amateur, who has NO IDEA, if they tell you different!
Check out this chart, http://hdguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/hdtv_distance_chart.pdf
You will notice your viewing distance of approx 5ft is ideal for using a 32" screen.
You may also want to double check using this graph, http://www.avforums.com/forums/plasma-televisions/533684-how-close-you-have-sit-1080-line-screen-worth-bothering.html
Also shows 32"/5ft as ideal!
As for recommendations, Panasonic tend to make the best screens, but it depends on EXACT MODEL as even they have a few 'lower spec' items.
Have a good read around on http://www.avforums.com, for lots of tips
Beware of 'cheap' sets, they are just that, even if they advertise 1080p, LED, 120hz & contrast ratio's that run off the page ('Contrast ratio' the most abused term in HDTV)
Ask over in the forums of 'avforums' you will get some sound advice, rather than the 'misinformation' here!

Can we change resolution in LCD/LED TV?

Can we change resolution in LCD/LED TV from 1080p/720p (HD) to 480p (SD)?
Its bcoz SD channels looks fuzzy on LCD/LED TV & i think reducing resolution to 480p from 1080p/720p can solve this fuzzyness issue..
Sony Bravia KLV-22BX320 & FTA MPEG-2 SD SET TOP BOX
What mean by upconversion?
Answer
No.
Most TVs allow displaying the content, and upconverts the 480p transmission with additional pixels to fill the screen.
Some will just display small 480p image in the center of the screen.
But the resolution of the display itself is fixed at 1080p. If you were talking about doing something with tool, and not just watching a program.
[EDIT: "Its bcoz SD channels looks fuzzy"
This may be the receiver section of the TV. Just like they have really wimpy speakers, they also can have horrible pictures if the signal is weak.
In order of increasing expense:
Check the cabling all the way from source to TV. Make sure everything is screwed on right and tight.
Remove any intervening components between source and TV.
Buy and install a new cable from source to TV.
They make amplifiers that plug into the wall, that connect cable on one side, to cable on the outlet (so you'll need another piece of cable).
You could try a standalone upconverter, and see if that clears things up.
Get a better TV. Check the reviews, and make sure the new one does a good job on handling 480p signals, and its upconversion is rated well.
If you tell us the brand and model number, I can see if the setup has options that talk about changing upconversion.

[EDIT:
Here is your manual:
http://support.sony-asia.com.edgesuite.net/consumer/IM/4270477141.pdf
pg 12, you might try the "SCENE SELECT" button on your remote, to see if one of those modes helps.
pg 13, OPTIONS then select "WIDE MODE" might give you some choices.
If none of these settings helps, then it is probably the set top box that is outputting the fuzzy signal, because it probably is not the TV (but it is obsolete...). Maybe the FTA has settings that you can adjust?
upconversion and upconvert refer to the means of making a 1080 (or 720) row picture, from a 480 row
source signal.

... the Sony likely has a good upconverter built in, and the FTA and the Sony may be fighting...
