Very soon I am hoping to purchase either a Sony KDL-32P3020 or a Sony KDL-32D3000.
I am aware that the 32D3000 is Sony’s flagship 32 inch television and the 32P3020 is their budget model.
However, the 32P3020 won a group test in a recent "What HiFi" review.
Also, according to Sony’s website the “On Screen Contrast” is better on the 32P3020 compared to the 32D3000; 1800:1 on 32P3020 and 1600:1 on 32D3000.

Is this a case of a newer yet cheaper television showing improvements in technology because it is more recent?
Also, two other reviews of the 32D3000 suggest that some of the extra features it has could be wasted on a 32 inch screen.

I watch at about a 10.5 feet viewing distance and don’t particularly want to go to a 37 inch model.
Bearing in mind the 32 inch screen size and viewing distance, do you think I would see the benefit of a 32D3000 over the 32P3020?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
