Help Me Buy an LCD TV
 

So I'm gonna use my onecall gift certificates to buy a new TV. I'm thinking 32in. Anyone have any recommendations on which one I should get. I don't know much about TVs, so I will list them all in price range.
This is the cheapest one at 700, but I've never heard of the brand, no idea on if it is any decent or not. Westinghouse
Next is the Panasonic on sale for 750 Panasonic
This Toshiba on sale for 800 Toshiba
I know Sharp is supposed to be good, this one comes in a little shy of 900. Sharp
Next another Panasonic, the TC32LX700, same price as the Sharp Panasonic TC32LX700
This Samsung at 930 Samsung
and this Sony at 975 Sony

So if anyone has any suggestions or opinions I'd love to hear them. I'd like to wall mount it if that makes much difference. Thanks for the help.

Mike

If you aren't set on wall mounting and LCD...I'd recommend a DLP. You can get a 50" Samsung dlp HDTV for around $1500 or so.

I just got a 52" Samsung from Amazon, love this thing.

Why LCD over Plasma? I'm also planning on purchasing a new TV, and was leaning towards a Panasonic 42" plasma that's on sale for $950.

What is the main difference between the two and is that on sale at onecall?

lcd= cheaper, try to find a plasma with 1080p it will set you back a lot.

Just get the sony w2000 it's a 40" 1080p device, and I really love the design. Should go for 1700-2000ish.

And to the OP, I bought the 32" samsung for my parents, and I kind of like the design (although I don't like the table stand) and the image quality is quite good too. Ofcourse you could save some money and go for the westinghouse, but damn that tv is ugly.

This is pretty terrible advice. There's a HUGE difference in quality going from a no-name TV to something like samsung/pioneer/sony.

what no name TV's have 1080p and 120hz with 2 HDMI inputs?

Re: Help Me Buy an LCD TV
 

I have 55" Sony HD1080 that I have been very happy with. I would suggest you go with a well known brand. I would also suggest you by directly at a retail store and not online, just in case there are problems, setup questions etc.... I prefer the personal touch.
Is it for poker? I have a 32" that I use for poker.
