Samsung LN40A530 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Bought it at Sears for $900 in December 2008, which was a very good deal, though I see that now Amazon has the 550 at that price and thhis model at $820. The reason I believe its at such a good price is precisely because it is being phased out in favor of newer Samsung models 550, 650, etc instead of this 530. The only advantage some newer ones have are a) 120Hz vs 60 ; b) Dynamic Contrast Ratio (30000:1 or more vs 20000:1 which I don't think is a significant difference, especially considering the price difference).The unit is very nice/ stylish, looks very nice in our living room. Very light, well packed, extremely easy to install. Nice swivel stand can rotate horizontally easily. The image quality when watching HD channels is outstanding. REALLY nice. Don't ever want to see non-HD channels again. When watching DVDs its very nice too. Now, when watching Blu-ray DVD's, its AMAZING, other-worldly. Has really changed our TV watching experience. Be it sports, movies, Discovery-HD, whatever. Much more enjoyable.Down sides: First unit we brought home we had problems with the sound, sometimes it would work sometimes it wouldn't. Exchanged it for an equal model at sears without a problem. I guess you can always get a defective one. The new one works perfectly.The sound from the TV speakers is ok, but who listens through those in any case? Always use the Home-theater system for sound. The watching angle is ok but I think there are better ones. Somebody mentioned that didn't quite know why would they connect their laptop to it: Iconnect it via the HDMI cable to watch Netflix movies straight from their site: te quality is pretty good, though not as good as a DVD.
Overalll absolutely love it, image quality amazing, great price-performance, highly recommended.

LG 19LG30 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

This LCD HDTV is a good size and the speakers aren't bad at all. The only issue I have with 19LG30, and it may be on all LG TVs, is that the four tuners do not integrate with eachother.

19LG30 has NTSC, ATSC and QAM (plus an broadcast tuner) but they are all given their own seperate folder that will not allow you to integrate them when scrolling through channels. Put more simply, if you press up (on the remote) and are on channel 5 (5-0, standard def.) with the CATV tuner, you cannot go to the HD channel 5-1 (which LG puts in the CADTV tuner folder) you will go to the next in-line standard definition channel, ie. 6. One needs to press 5 again on the remote to go to 5-1 or 5-2 etc. Once in the HD folder or CADTV, pressing up will only scroll through that folder channels. So if you want to go from channel 7.1 (HD channel) to channel 8 (SD channel) you cannot logically and simply press up on the remote: you must press 8, wait for the delay, and the TV then switches to the CATV folder of channels. Bollocks!

This "set-up" is totally frustrating if you are using this TV without a cable box, which is kind of the idea for a 19" TV, and typically scroll channels using up and down on a remote.

I am not sure if this will be an issue after 17 February however, as there is a seperate folder labeled DTV in the channel menu (which remains empty after auto-tuning). If DTV integrates all the channels (once it is online) than this is a dead isssue and this is a 5 star TV. Otherwise why LG do you have such a poor operating system that can't enable/integrate the different tuners? Samsung and Sony integrate the tuners into one folder/line-up.

Sharp LC-32SB21U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

This is my first LCD Flat Panel TV. I upgraded from a 24" CRT Flat Screen by Toshiba.

Pros:

1. Great Picture (It's only 720p but the picture comes through great and is a big improvement over a regular TV)
2. Smart Stretch setting: this allows one to watch regular TV in widescreen and nothing looks distorted.
3. Inexpensive: I can't afford an expensive flat panel HDTV so this was a great choice for me

Cons:

1. This set has awful sound. I hooked up a Bose CineMate system to it and that fixed this problem. No matter what you hook up to it, you will need to attach some speakers to make watching this TV bearable.
2. No option to turn off the internal speaker. This was an issue when setting up my external speakers. Turning the volume all the way down was a good workaround, though.


I've only had the set for about a day, so, there may be more pros & cons but, overall, this set is a huge improvement over my CRT set and did not make me go broke!Buy Sharp LC-32SB21U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV!

Samsung LN46A860 - 46" LCD TV - 120Hz - widescreen - 1080p (FullHD) - HDTV - piano black with deep blue trim

I researched this tv forever and thought I was going to fall in love with the set and pat myself on the back for making such a great choice. Well, I received this set from E.E. through Amazon on the 25th of Feb. It's now the 26th and I am writing this very heartfelt review. Don't get me wrong the set is beautiful and a quality picture to match, that was while it lasted. I was watching Tiger Woods and all of a sudden I hear a loud "pop" noise come from behind the tv, the screen went blank and that was all she wrote. I started looking for smoke but I did not see or smell anything. I was pretty concerned so I unplugged it quickly, but nothing else happened. I called samsung and they are finding a tech. to come to my house to try and fix or replace it. I hope I just got a lemon cause it was great looking while it lasted, better luck to you if you decide to buy this tv. I will give it another chance, I have no choice.
