Samsung LNT4042H 40-Inch LCD HDTV

We purchased this TV just after Christmas. It quit working (no signal, could not turn off or on) in April. After several weeks and two visits by the repair people to replace two boards, the TV was finally working again. Less than two months later it quit again - no signal received. This time we have been waiting two weeks again for the repair people and they are supposed to come tomorrow. Each time we have given the repair people our home phone and cell phone numbers but once the parts come in we still have to play phone tag for several days since they won't call any number except our home phone and we are at work during the day. Samsung tells us that if it breaks once more during the year warranty they will finally replace. My fear is that it will break again just after the warranty has expired. We paid a lot for this TV and I feel that it was wasted and we now have no recourse! Also, when the TV does work the sound is horrible. We have better sound from old TVs that cost much, much less than this one did! Don't buy a Samsung!Buy Samsung LNT4042H 40-Inch LCD HDTV!

Sony Bravia W-Series KDL-52W3000 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

This 2 star rating is just for Sony, if it is other brand i would have given 3, nobody expects a LCD panel to be replaced with in 9 months from the purcahse date, loved the picture quality for 8 months, after that a thin vertical line started to appear on the left side of the screen it will remain for few mintues but after that it will disappear, when checked with SONY they told me to contact the local repair shop, repair person came and told me that panel needs to be replaced, since it was under warranty they replaced it for free, but still i didnt expected this from SONY.Buy Sony Bravia W-Series KDL-52W3000 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV!

SOYO 2238AB Graphite Series 22" LCD TV

The 22" is a good looking and sounding TV. It also looks larger in person and a 19" would of done fine. The set settings for viewing on the control panel is not impressive and I programed the coloring myself. Also the menu's are small and you have to be close-up to read them. I am not satisfied when viewing a DVD and the acting is in a dark area or dark clothing, it is hard to see the characters and sometimes when there is daylight in the windows in the movie the bright light is too bright and no adustment helps. The TV that was sent to me has a small white speck where there is nothing showing, but I will contact the company on the speck and darkness issue. Buy SOYO 2238AB Graphite Series 22" LCD TV!
