| 1166279 | 2011-01-02 03:28:00 | Sanyo 40 inch LCD (full HD I think) at the Warehouse for $799, good value (depending on your definition of value)! I even contemplated it as a gaming/flightsim monitor, cheap for short term use or being abused by games! |

| 1166280 | 2011-01-02 03:51:00 | Panasonic and Sony, same par, then LG don't touch transonic - it's merely old technology sold or made by Samsung or similar company | radium (8645) | ||
| 1166281 | 2011-01-02 04:05:00 | LG,Sony,Panasonic all Tier 1 manufactures. For Plasma generally go Panasonic, Pioneer and lastly LG to a lesser degree For LCD go LG, Sony and the odd Samsung model (not Panasonic for LCD) Really have to choose model by model, all of these manufactures make great TV's and a few models not so great. I prefer not to blindly recommend a brand based on what I have personally purchased. |

| 1166284 | 2011-01-02 07:20:00 | I would personally avoid samsung. I had samsung monitor and it was a POS, and got a refund on it in the end. Several people I have heard have also had trouble with the samsung TVs, and they don't appear to have the reliability of other brands, like Sony and Panasonic. They also look cheap and plasticy in my opinion. Consumer however ranks samsung quite highly, although not as high as the other two, and the picture quality is certainly as good as sony in my opinion. Sony are my main choice, as they always look good. Panasonic I would rank a tier below Sony, becuase even though they are probably just a reliable as sony, they don't tend to look as good in terms of their design and user interface. I like the sony xbar interface Going for a no name or house brand in my opinion is not good value at the end of the day, as the technology will be older. You can tell a cheap LCD by the poor viewing angles. If you can get 5-8 years out of an LCD you are doing very well, as they don't appear to have the life of the old CRTs which could last 20+years. I am personally waiting for a good Sony LED edgelit TV to come along, which is also very thin. LED edge lighting is the way to go, as they don't need the backlights replacing overtime, as LEDs have a very long life. If you are looking for a cheap option, a panasonic plasma could be the way to go. |
