I’m looking at HDTVs…
After much research and looking at consumer reviews, and now this site,
I have figured this:
I’m trying to narrow it down to
LCD vs. Plasma.

I narrowed it down to
42″ Panasonic – TH-42PX80U or TH-42PZ80U
(85U has more inputs.)

40″ Samsung – LN40A550

They’re both $899 at Sears
(+10% off with Sears Card).

Panasonic is #1 Recommended Plasma
Samsung is #1 Recommended LCD.

I had it narrowed down to these two before I checked out this site.
Now, they’re tied for the reccomendation!

My tie-breaker, I think is going to lean toward the Panasonic model.

Why?

I’m not a gamer. I won’t be hooking up any video game system to my TV.

I only need it for TV & Movies – Sports, DVDs, etc.

So… I think the Plasma would be best-fit?

Panasonic also has a 100% reliability rate with Consumer Reports?

So, just some thoughts…

Any help with my tie-breaker?

At a 32″ model, I also had it down to
Panasonic vs. Samsung again…
TC-32LX85 ($579) vs. LN32A450 ($699)

Insights would help…

I’m no techie. I’ve just been looking all over the internet for insight.

Thank you.

No suggestions for Vizio? They have great reviews and have been #1 rated in N America.

Just wanted to thank you for all the efforts you are putting into this. It greatly helps sorting out what manufacturers seem to be purposefully obscuring and satisfies all the small obsessions we all have about HDTVs.

I have been using the LG 37LG30 for more than a month and would like to recommend it. It is hooked up with Sony PS3 and Pioneer DV-410 DVD player.

So far, it has performed well, especially after its calibration which can be found on my blog …. http://711am.wordpress.com/2008/12/31/lg-37lg30-display-settings-calibration/

And I have bookmarked HDGuru as it gives a wonderful insight in to the world of HDTVs
