HDTV LCDs - Viewsonic models

So, my upcoming new job and move has made me finally ditch my archaic CRT and start shopping for an HDTV. I drove around today and priced out some models from Best Buy, Future Shop, Costco, etc etc. I'm not looking to spend a fortune as my plan is to only have this TV for ~2years or so until I can pay off my school loans and start making a bit more money, at which point I'll be moving to an actual city and can get something larger. (see below if you're confused)
The Viewsonic models at Costco seemed to offer the best price for quality. The ones I were looking at:
N3252w - 32" for $649. 8ms, 1000:1, integrated Tuner, 1 of each type of input
N2635w - 26" for $499. 8ms, 800:1, integrated Tuner, 1 of each input except 2 Component.
The 35 models are this year's, but Costco didn't have the 32" size of them in yet, only last year's 52 model.
So, does anyone else have a Viewsonic monitor and watch to comment on the quality? Do you like it? Hate it? Maybe another suggestion of model or brand for around that price?
Some things to remember; I can't break the bank in price, I'm moving to a *very* remote community (read: 2000ppl) which is 5 hours away from the nearest city so reliability is a must, and 32" is the max size due to moving constraints.

Tobias: Or it could be your colon. I'd want to get in there and find some answers.

As for the Vizios, I'll have to take a look at them when I head back tomorrow. HDMI isn't really a need though, I only have a Premium 360 and a Wii, so no real need for HDMI. And I wont be getting a HD / BR DVD player any time soon (no where to rent movies from!), so something like 2 components or 1 component and a VGA will do for both consoles. But that is a nice price.

Remember that HDMI converts to DVI easily.
May not be any cheaper, and if it is, might not be enough to be worth it.

Yah good point. I called Costco today to see if they had the VX32L model but they said they didn't even stock Vizio LCDs, which made me rather O_o.

CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
You should be able to order from Costco.com, or you can see if they can put in an order for you.
