Philips 47PFL3603D/F7 47-Inch 1920 x 1080p LCD HDTV (Black)

When I was looking at TVs in the store, this one looked just as good as, if not better than, the other TVs. The only big difference was the price. Other TVs in this price range simply didn't compare while this TV compared to TVs which cost $500-$800 more. I am not a TV expert, I only base my judgment on how the picture looked, but what else do you need? Who cares if the other TV has a 'phase shift converter' or operates at 4 million jiggawhatchyamacallits. And I really don't care if my TV can't make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. What matters to me is that it looks amazing and is very reasonably priced.Buy Philips 47PFL3603D/F7 47-Inch 1920 x 1080p LCD HDTV (Black)!

Samsung LNT4069FX 40-inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

After owning this set for 3 months, I experienced color smearing and halo effects on all inputs. This was initially visible against the white ice surface while watching a hockey game, but it also appears on other colored backgrounds as well. The Samsung warranty initially appears to be very good, because they actually send out an authorized repair tech to make a house call. However, the repair guys replaced two boards in the set, and it only made the picture worse.

They then took the TV back to their shop, in order to replace the entire display screen. Perhaps they lied about doing that, but regardless - they definitely did not test the set before returning it. After 10 minutes of watching the "repaired" set, the same color smearing problems have re-appeared. We are now waiting for (yet another) response from Samsung and/or the repair shop.

Coby TFDVD1992 19-Inch LCD TV/Monitor with DVD Player

I received this 19in flat screen HdTV for Christmas from my children. So far its great. The picture is sweet and clear. It plays DVDs perfectly. If there was any thing to complain about it would be the cheap Atari like clicker. The buttons are very very small,and it has very little power. Also Coby has not given its acess codes to Cablevision so you cannot use just one clicker you have to use theirs to turn on the tv. They dont answer their phone or e-Mail and thats kind of scary. The sound without a reciever hookup leaves much to be desired...It is very low. The 5 watt speakers are not powerful enough on their own. But again the picture is crisp and clear so far so good..

Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80U 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV

In my personal opinion, plasma beats best LCD models like Sony and Samsung. So, if you are still shopping, simply go to the store, and devote some time to comparing TVs and chose the one YOU like.

Like many other consumers, I was hesitating choosing between plasma and LCD TVs. Initially, I was inclined to LCD (Sony 120HZ), but after spending quite a time in one of the electronic giant stores comparing different brands, I chose Panasonic plasma (I liked Pioneer KURO even better - but it costs 3 grand more:)

If you prefer unnaturally bright, "computer" like images, go with LCD TV (but get 120HZ model or wait for 240HZ to come to the market soon).But again, even 120HZ is twice less of what plasma offers.

If you like "movie" like picture and absolutely fantastic, sharp quality of this plasma TV (420HZ, 1 million contrast ratio to 1), I'd recommend this Panasonic. Just don't forget to buy decent HDMI cable and Blue Ray player - and you'll be blown away. Even SD (regular TV channels look great). It's amazing.Period.
