How do I know which brand of HD TVs is better?

Question

I would like to buy a new TV. I haven't bought one in over 10 years! Yikes! The technology is so confusing to me and I don't know what to buy. I'd like to start with which brand is the best. Thanks!

Answer 1

The top brand as of now would be Sony. If I can remember, Sony has always been the leading competitor in TV production. Sony offers the crispest picture quality and detail, but is on the expensive end. The next would probably be the Sharp AQUOS. And following that would be the Vizio TVs.

Answer 2

panasonic or pioneer if u want a plasma sharp for lcd not a sony fan

Answer 3

LCD - Samsung, Sony, Sharp.

Plasma - Panasonic for sure.

DLP - Mitsubishi, Samsung.

Answer 4

Buy Sony....Don't buy Visio...

That's the ONLY real difference to know and remember....repeat it on the way to the store....

It embodies all the truths about what TV is good and what TV is bad....

Try this....

Hitachi or ILO

Toshiba or Polaroid

Mitsubishi or Westinghouse

See my point?

One is Goooooooood, One is Baaaaaaaaaad....Very Very Bad!

Answer 5
