Not better, just more imputs and if that's not an issue you're good to go. I would say get the biggest you can fit in your situation. It's better to go bigger than you think you need, than to buy smaller and regret it. When I was looking, I started at 42" and found that 50" wasn't that much bigger or more expensive. I'm glad I went 50" because it's perfect for the distance I sit.

How is TV #2 any different or better than the LG TV I was looking at (other than size)? As nearly as I can tell, it isn't, except that it might have a few more inputs - which isn't really much of an issue for me.

1) TV#1 has 10,000:1 dynamic constrast ratio. That means that there is 10,000 brightness points between black and white. TV#2 has 15,000:1 constrast ratio, which is 15,000 degrees between black and white.
2) TV #2 is also about 1.5x bigger.
The difference is in two areas:

Just know that Dynamic Contract Ratio is generally marketing crap, if you can find a good, normal Contrast Ratio, which is becoming harder, then great.

I have a bit of a conundrum on my hands. Currently the LG 32LH30 is the only TV I've seen that has what I want and has pretty good reviews. However, it apparently doesn't have an analog audio output, which is bad because I have some computer speakers (Klipsch/THX) that I'd like to connect to it.
It does, however, have a digital audio output, so I can use a DAC to connect my speakers to it. The only problem with this is that I believe it won't allow me to adjust the volume with the remote, which is a bit of a pain. Is there any way that I could get around this problem?

Even my CRT doesn't control the volume of the analog (well, RCA L/R) out, so I have to do so with my hifi/stereo thing. Hmm?

Ah, well that'd be fine at home where I have a stereo receiver, but here at school there's not enough space to fit that in my room. It just occurred to me that some TV's have an option to let you alter the volume of the audio out, so maybe I can do it that way.

I have two 2333HD displays made by Samsung. They are great for watching tv in your room or for gaming. I use them as extra monitors on my desktop.
