I did notice that, for some odd reason they're not available in the Middle East. There is the Samsung TV you recommended in the other thread, the F6400 which is series 6. However I will get the 40 inch version, in case the Bravia model doesn't arrive anytime soon, I will be getting it.

Sony Lebanon is obliged to have their new stock asap, they just have 2 models left!
People are searching for TVs now as they want them for summer house,so if they don't bring new 32'' and 40'' they will lose lot of customers

I think for now my favorite is the LG 32LN5100, good price of 309$ (hoping to bargain 20$),input lag would be nice without being amazing 26ms I just have to be sure it's the same panel as the 32LN530B for that (my 4 years old sammy 32c530 is 11ms) but at least it has 2 HDMI and an audio output.
The Samsung 32EH4003 at 290$ got high scores with games in reviews but it only has 1 HDMI (can be corrected with a 10$ 1x3 HDMI switcher) BUT no audio output so you can't use external speakers at all (if using HDMI)
The Philips 32FPL3008 has all the same inputs/outputs as LG and cheaper but I have no clue at all about the input lag,so it could be an superb product for games as it could be a nightmare.
Will check the Toshiba 32'' and of course the Sony new models when they will be here.
Unfortunately there is no infos about input lag for Haier,TCL and Hisense, like for the Philips it can be a Loto paper

Ok let's add the Toshiba Regza 32'' 32P2305.
Input Lag is about 28ms which is just 2ms more than the Samsung EH4003, but at least it has 2 HDMI and Audio Out and more image treatments.
Panel is Japanese if the salesman is right.
Price is 300$
Looks like a good budget gaming 32'' Led

BenQ L32-5000:
3 HDMI
2 USB
32'' 768p
But I think it's 2011-2012 and no input lag infos.
Price is sweet 240$
I have till 7th July to choose, let's hope the Sony will be available too
28ms for the Toshiba is not too much when you know the fastest LED 32'' for the website
http://www.displaylag.com/ is 26ms (the sammy EH4003)
I forgot to say the Toshiba has a Game and PC modes

@H.S
Just called Sony World, they should have the new 32'' tomorrow :)
h-s
Any particular model? BTW I changed my mind and I'll be getting a 40 inch instead of a 32.
vegetaleb
All new 2014 models

Do you think 32 and 40'' will get UHD in the coming 2 years or it will be sticked to 46'' + screens?
IF not perhaps I will do like you and replace my Beirut's 32'' with a 40'' and the 32'' to the mountain.
Tough I can't find a 40'' with 3 HDMI, fast input lag and good price (under 700$) :/
h-s
I highly doubt that there will be UHD TVs for such sizes. I was thinking of upgrading to UHD, but currently there is not much support for 4K resolution, all the next gen consoles are 1080p. Besides, most of them have higher input lag than the FHD models.
Look, currently there is a special offer on the 40 inch model of the Samsung F6400. The offer began about three days ago. It used to be $799, now it is priced for $666, it is very tempting for this price. The 32 inch model is still priced for $750 because the offer is on the bigger sizes. The only thing I don't like about it is the 40ms input lag, but from the reviews, I didn't read any complaints about it and especially when activating it's game mode. I also asked several people who are using it for gaming and they said that it is pretty good.
Still no Bravia here?
vegetaleb
They brought back the 2013 32'' units lol!
Yeah I saw this samsung and it's very tempting as it has some smart features and internet built-in.
3D is non sense on anything under 46''.
There is a samsung 40'' with 27ms but 60hz(100hz CMR) 40F5500, similar smart stuff and internet for 630$ I think.
From the pro review games are very nice on it thanks to the 27ms input lag
h-s
That is very disappointing! Why would they do that in the first place?
As for the F6400, it is the best one in terms of picture quality and sepcs, I've seen it running side to side along with other Samsung models, it is the best.
vegetaleb
But are you ready to have some slow downs due to 40ms with fast games?
h-s
Actually that is the only thing holding me back, but it is the best TV available here.
vegetaleb
Bought the 40F6400 :) :)
After hours of readings it's a good TV for games.
Bought it from Abed Tahan but hurry there is only 1 unit in every shop.
Tried Watch Dogs with Game mode and there is no lag at all.
Picture quality is awesome!
I will try to grab a BR 3D from Big Tony tomorrow to try its 3D, the 2D to 3D is not real 3D
h-s
Congrats! So you couldn't resist the offer I guess? You got it for $666? Honestly I don't care much about the 3D, but it should be at least decent. In older Samsung models, when you activate game mode, the picture quality and colors will get downgraded, does that happen with the F6400?
There is a software called CalMAN that will let you calibrate the TV to significantly enhance the colors and image quality. Personally didn't try it before but I thought that I should let you know.
vegetaleb
Enabling Game mode will de-activate the 200hz thingy for sure as well as some image treatment,the result for movies is not bad.
Each HDMI has its own settings,so you can enable Game mode on PS4 HDMI while it stays off with your receiver HDMI

One thing, it's made in Egypt!!
I can't believe how better the picture quality is compared to my 2011 Samsung 32'' FHD LCD.
It's soooo crisp and detailed.
I chose ''Natural'' picture mode for HD TV channels and they look WOW!
