Who makes the best LCD televisions. I thought it was Sony's Bravia range, but I read somewhere that it isn't

Question

I can't remember where I read who makes the best LCD televisions and who it was, but I do remember that it wasn't Sony. Does anyone know who's reputed to make the best LCD televisions?

Answer 1

IMO the best LCD TV manufactures are on evens. Not much separates new HDTV’s. 1080p is the current standard. Its hard to compare Samsung, Sony, Philips you get what you pay for. Sony do a cheap S series plus a high end V series.

Answer 2

first off what good is buying a tv with a slightly bette picture if it means the tv always breaking. sony has a very bad history of malfunctions. ask any tv repair man. sony is c**p. dont listen to people who say 'oh i just got one a few months ago and it looks great' this has nothing at all to do with how good of a tv it is. what matters is how its going to hold up in a year or two from now (mechanically) people are too worried about how great the picture is, and not about how well built it is.

if people cared more, and didnt think of everything as disposable, companies would build better products.

samsung, panasonic, and philips are your best choices in that order. but remember we are no longer in the generation of well built tvs. they all have problems so get the extended warranty.

Answer 3

FUN is right....SONY has the CLEAREST PICTURE.

They have always designed their TV sets to give you a good CLEAN picture, not a harsh over-emphasized High Detail picture (which shows more noise and excessively over-emphasized details)

You can tell the difference...

But if you want to buy a Samsung, that's your choice....

Answer 4

Answer 6

Currently the best LCD out there is the LN-52A650 by Samsung.... it looks INCREDIBLE with the 360/PS3 and Blueray! and pretty much anything else...

Cnet.com just gave the 52 inch version an 8.0 ratingmaking it their best rated LCD tv!! (it also comes in 40 and 46 inch versions)

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.. (better response time and contrast ratio than the Sony XBR).. plus it looks cool too (it has a red bezel) Currently Beachcamera.com has the lowest price for the 40 inch model at around 1500

Here is the Cnet.com review for the Samsung LN-52A660

Personally I have a Sony Bravia..they are good all rounders. I hear that Samsung have the best pictures and Toshiba produce the best sound though
