  1. Two brands are Samsung and Sony. If you are really looking for Sony to match or overcome Samsung's quality, then you may want to get something in the bravia series and make sure it has XBR, because I believe that allows cinematic quality.

    A very impressive chip used by HDTV's developed by Texas Instruments is the DLP chip, which provides awesome quality when it comes to reduced motion blur (for you football game) and has great quality. The DLP chip works greatly with the colors it gets and is especially better when you have LED, which uses more environmentally friendly, lasts longer, and gives the best color you can imagine. You can read moer about DLP and its different technologies on http://www.dlp.com (if it is up, because Texas Instruments seems to have a problem with its sites).

    Samsung uses the DLP chip. By the way, you can go to cnet.com and search your specific type of TV (use the model number) and it will give you a very detailed review on your TV. That is how I got my awesome Samsung HLT-5087S. CNet goes into detail and gives specifications. It also has a TV search tool in which you can plug in what you want on your TV.

    Now to tackle a big issue. 1080p, 1080i, or 720p? Well, I have a 1080p TV, which will give you the best quality with HD transmission, especially if you have Blu-Ray. But, a 1080p may not do too well with regular transmission channels, although I have seen normal channels on my 1080p TV and have no problem with them. A 1080i TV is not too competitive anymore because a 1080p has the same resolution as a 1080i, and it can much more easily manage movement than a 1080i. A 720p TV may be better if you are only going to watch channels on normal transmission.

    When you get a TV, you may also want to be sure that you get at least 2 HDMI inputs on your TV, because as HD gadgets evolve, the HDMI cable will give much better picture quality than any other cable. At least, that is what I hear.

    I would recommend that you do not get absorbed into the whole plasma TV gimmick, because it is just hype. You should just do research and see which TV will fit your home best. Do not say that you want a plasma TV and nothing else.

    Again, CNet can probably help you in finding the TV matching your desires, because it gives great reviews and specifications, and it has a search tool you can use to find your type of TV. I hope this answer helps and that you get an excellent quality TV.


  2. I have a Samsung and I love it.

  3. samsung all the way!

    most have a specialised gaming mode

    go the full HD and you'll be sorted for years

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

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

    Samsung and Sony are the best by far!

    I wouldn't recommend getting an: Insignia, Olevia, Westinghouse or Vizio

    Now for a good GAMING LCD, I would have to say stick with the three S's (Samsung,Sony,Sharp)

    Here are some excellent gamer LCDs to consider:

    Sharp Aquos LC-32GP1U..... this set was made for gaming.. (Vyper Drive Game Mode,1080p,6ms response time,10,0001: dynamic contrast ratio)......check it out

    http://www.sharpusa.com/products/ModelLa...

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



    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. (The Samsung 6 series LCDs are available in 19-inch, 22-inch, 32-inch, 40-inch, 46-inch, and 52-inch models, but the specs are the best for the 40,46,and 52 inch versions.....nonetheless they are all great)

    Samsung LN-40A650:

    http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LN40A650-4...

    Last but not least... check out Sony's new 2008 Bravia lineup.....where you're sure to find something that meets your needs and budget

    2008 Sony Bravia lineup:

    Good luck!
