Television buying advice
I want to finally buy a good big lcd 1080p high contrast tv.
Do you guys have any advice?
Im thinking no bigger than 36-42 inches.
What are some of your experiences?
What brands do you like or dislike and why?

Re: Television buying advice
Since you're not being a complete dick this time...
120-240-480 hz are your new options on buying tv's
120 is dim-240 is bright-480amazing lighting
Hz-hertz is Refresh rate.
1080 is only pixelization But go 1080p because alot of 720p have their pixels die hence worthless tv.
with LCD or LED is 480hz 1080p
I have a 47 inch LG LED 240hz I like it only costed 1,200 after tax.
Youtube how to tune your tv model and then it will be amazing.

I have this tv at the moment, it was only 1000 quid, which is about 1500 of your dollars.
i got the 40" version, came with 2 pairs of 3d glasses, its oly about an inch thick, amazing clarity, highly reccomend it.

Re: Television buying advice
Go to About.com Home Theater. There you can check specs and comparisons between the different options. I will tell you that anything with a plasma base has a shortened lifecycle (personal experience).

Re: Television buying advice
All depends on what you want. I am told Vizio uses Sony components. Don't know if it is true. But my 2nd TV is a Vizio, and it works great. Little 22" 720p model for the bedroom. And it's hard to beat Vizio on price without going to some seriously no-name brands.
I haven't been keeping up with the latest & greatest, because I'm not currently in the market. But I watch a LOT of podcasts from CNET TV, and one thing I will suggest- skip 3D. The current 3D tech with glasses is going over like a turd in a punch bowl, and is likely to die a horrible death. IF 3D television ever catches on, it will end up being glasses-free. Or at the very least, it will use the simple, passive glasses like they use in the movie theatre, not the $150-a-pair type with batteries & all that jazz.
I'd do some research on cnet.com if I were in the market, and compare features & prices. When I buy something electronic without checking there... and it sucks... when I go there for answers, I see they already knew it sucked. So, yeah.
