I want a 32" for my cabinet.  Is this a good deal?  Anyone see these in action?  I see it's only 720p...

720p is fine for a TV that small.  Never seen that particular one up close, though.  I would probably head to a store to see if you could check it out in person before buying.

32" is way too small for cabinet purposes, IMO.  Having compared a lot of them I wouldn't go any smaller than 37".  The sweet spot on the good prices seems to be 40 or 42.  <$300 on those all day, every day.

Go bigger or go home.

32" too smal!??? 40-42 sweet spot!?? On what type of cabinet? Op does not mention anything about building a showcase cab, so assumption here would be regular upright. 32" wide would be pushing it for an upright and you want to install 40"!?  :o
Won't 32" give him at least 19" of height for vertical games? (I might be wrong on that.)
