The Insignia NS-32E859A11 is the 32-inch, $499.99 (direct) version of the 42-inch Insignia NS-42E859A11 ($699.99, 3 stars), an LED-backlit HDTV we previously reviewed. As an Insignia Connected TV, the NS-32E859A11 uses built-in Wi-Fi to access streaming media services like Netflix, Pandora, and YouTube. It can use Chumby apps to give the set more functionality, and it uses TiVo’s menu system for an interface, despite not having any DVR or channel guide features. While we did not test the NS-32E859A11 in the labs, the NS-42E859A11 was found to have a very bright picture, but distinct light blooming that washes out dark scenes. The menu system on the NS-42E859A11 looked fuzzy, but it will likely look better on a smaller screen.
