Sharp Aquos LC19D44U 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

Buying this TV was a nightmare! I ordered this TV and the vendor (not amazon.com) that sold it to me sent me a DIFFERENT TV! Hoping I would be stupid enough not to notice! I reviewed the other TV he sent me and after alot of thought decided to keep it (was running out of time to get a TV for my parents for Xmas) and when we opened it and turned it on, the volume was defective! I returned it to the vendor and he said I would get credit minus shipping and restocking! I told him it was defective and he said it was not! I told him to plug it in himself and see! I am sure he knew it was and bought it at a discount and then tryed to sell it to me hoping I would not notice! WHAT A CROOK! I was lucky that amazon.com credit card did take care of the shipping and restocking for me, but I told Amazon.com that the vendor that sold it to me was a crook!!!! I think the Sharp Aquos is a good TV, but I never got to see it! So beware of what you actually get vs what you order!Buy Sharp Aquos LC19D44U 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV!

Philips 42PFL5332D 42-Inch LCD HDTV

This television is better than I expected, very easy to set up and use. Picture quality is very good. When I ordered this T.V. I was a little concerned about ordering such an expensive item online, but everything worked so well. One small problem was when this item was ordered it was the last "FACTORY SEALED" item in stock. After the order was placed the company(TECH-FOR-LESS)that had the T.V. called me to say that the "FACTORY SEALED" item was not in stock, but they had 3 Philips 42PFL5332D 42-Inch LCD HDTV as "OPEN BOX" units. And if I would accept one of these they would also add a 2 year warranty at no additional cost, which I decided was fair.
When the television arrive at my home it was like new except that the stand was missing. When I called TECH-FOR-LESS they were very nice and apologized for my inconvenience and that they would send a stand that day, which they did. This is a great T.V. at a great price. Also very happy with the various inputs, with the USB port I can load my flash drive with pictures and plug in for a very easy way to view my pictures.Buy Philips 42PFL5332D 42-Inch LCD HDTV!

BROKSONIC - 32" Wide HD Digital LCD TV

You can get this TV for 400 or less. I picked one up for my girlfriend in November 2008, along with a Sharp BD player. We also run a PC to it with a wireless keyboard in order to watch TV through imdb and hulu, and their PS2, Xbox360 and Wii all run to it through a component video switch. We also hooked up an old Radio Shack antenna for HD brodcast TV (You don't need an "HD" antenna). Everything looks great!

If you're not going to use a calibration disc, like Digital Video Essentials, make sure you put it in Movie mode. You'll get weird artifacts in shadows in the default "sports" mode.

It doesn't automatically switch well between FS and Widescreen modes, so you may have to tell it the mode manually on occasion, and it defaults to Sports mode if it is unplugged. Those are my only two complaints.

BD titles and DVD titles look fantastic. I have a Pioneer Pro-111FD at home, and although it rocks, it did cost almost 8x the price. I don't mind watching a movie over there at all. The contrast is deep enough so you don't get those distracting washed-out blue-blacks, and the colors are bright and vivid. In fact, the picture at times is so jaw-dropping sharp and realistic (good source material), it looks almost 3D. I've looked at other bargain priced sets in the 32" size, priced around 500 or more. Save yourself a hundred or two and get this if you can find it. We/she and her family have been using it for about three months now and love it!
