Try the March issue of Consumer Reports, at a library or bookstore. For 37" they liked Toshiba REGZA37LX96, Magnavox 37MF231D, HP LC3760N. They give the Olevia 42" 542i a Best Buy at $1300. Most people wish they had gotten a bigger set. Make sure 37 is what you want.

That's what I was thinking.

They stand behind their shit, and I don't have to spend on extra bullshit extended warranties....plus I get money back.....

My card expired so I went there without one and some Mexican started chasing me around the store! I think I can get a 1 day pass though.

Sharp is fucking garbage.

I can't tell you how many customer's houses I've been to and they ask me if I can adjust the color because the picture is washed out.

My response?..................."You shouldn't have bought a Sharp."

My brother actually just bought a Polaroid and it looks pretty good. Of course he had to run to the Cablevision store to get a 1080 receiver. ESPN hd is awesome!

Talk to"ieffinhatecardio ". He helped me pick out a 40 inch Sony bravia xbr. The thing is sick, and I could not be happier. Full 1080p with all the outputs, etc. I spent a little more then I wanted to, but it was worth it.The 1080 Bravia models are very nice.

I agree, I knew nothing about lcd's. I am glad I went with the xbr by sony. It payed off to spend a bit extra, and go with the solid sony repuatation. What models do you have?

wikkedonez · « **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2007, 07:54:27 PM »

I know Sony is the shit but they are so damn expensive...and the prices never go on sale!!

Wombat · « **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2007, 07:55:01 PM »

Is their any truth to these LCD's and Plasmas being like protein powder...Meaning that actually only a couple of places manufacture these things and then companies just put their names and covers on them?

wikkedonez · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2007, 07:56:49 PM »

Thet plasmas are succeptable to "burn in". and they dont last too long.

Nice.... I have the 40 inch xbr in my living room. I plan to buy another tv at the end of this year for my bedroom. The WEGA has a superior picture? Do you know anything about that new hd/blue ray dvd player? I want to buy one.

My 36 WEGA is a regular 4:3 TV. not a flat screen.

It looks unreal in HD, kills my other sets.

Blu ray is uncompressed full 1080P video with 8 channel 32bit sound. it is beautiful.

Prices are coming down a bit, Samsung has one for around 600 now

For money, Panasonic makes a solid TV.

I don't know if they make a 37.

I know both have advantages and disadvantages compared to each other but which do you prefer LCD or Plasma?
