What's the best 42" television to buy?

Question

We're in need of another one but wow, what brand do you pick??? Sanyo, Panasonic, Magnavox and many more. Give me some ideas of the best. Thanks.

Answer 1

I personally love Samsung. We have a 42" Plasma by Samsung which has been awesome over the past year. Best wishes! I'd shop around, when you're looking really compare different brands. When we get a new tv I'm thinking of a Sharp Aquos (sp??) ...they have a great picture imo.

Well assuming you get an LCD (Which I reccomend)

Il'l try to help you out...

Here is a list of the top ten best LCD HDTV brands (in decending order):

Sony, Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba, LG, Philips, Mitsubishi JVC, Panasonic and Hitachi

Samsung and Sony are the best by far!

I wouldn't recommend getting an: Sanyo, Insignia,Element, Olevia, Magnavox, Polaroid, Westinghouse or Vizio

ANYWAY...

Currently the best LCD out there is the LN-40A650 by Samsung.... it looks incredible with the 360/PS3! I HIGHLY reccommend it!

Cnet.com just gave the 52 inch version an 8.0 ratingmaking it their best rated LCD tv!!

I've seen this tv myself... and trust me.... this tv is NO JOKE!

The picture quality is STUNNING!

It has 1080p, 120hz, 50:000:1 Contrast ratio, 4ms Response time, Game/movie/sports modes, pretty much all the latest goodies to look for in an LCD.... plus it looks cool too (it has a red bezel) The only drawback is its hefty price

Currently Beachcamera.com has the lowest price for the 40 inch model at around 1500.

For an all around excellent LCD at a good price, I suggest you pick one out of Sony's new 2008 Bravia lineup.....

But if your interested in a Plasma....

Currently THE absolute best PLASMA is the "Pioneer KURU elite" (INCREDIBLE picture quality)

Other top of the line plasmas include:

Pioneer KURU

Panasonic TH-50PZ800U

Samsung PN-50A650

Samsung PN-50A550

Hope this helped....

Good luck!
