Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-26M4000/R 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Red

A 26" flat-screen tv that looks and sounds just as well as the larger sets in the market. Fantastic features, super fine image and extra crisp sound--with a great bass and not distortion at higher volumes. The red trim is soothing to the eyes and it was $100.00 cheaper than the other (white and black) Bravias in the market. Over a month after purchasing it, I still prefer to watch shows on this tv instead of the 54" in the living room. Get yourself one. You will not regret it!Buy Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-26M4000/R 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Red!

Sharp Aquos LC52SE94U 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

I purchased this TV about a year ago and watch it daily. I really enjoy the display, even in well lit areas. The matte finish was non-negotiable for me. The room I have it in has many light sources, and even though they are all visible from the dispaly, none are reflected back from the matte finish on the display. Compare that to the new Samsung's that are extremely reflective and are best used in darker areas.

When I was deciding which display to purchase, I visited Best Buy several times to compare this and other sets. To this day, the LC52SE94U remains the best looking set on the wall, at least to me. If I had it to do over again, I'd have bought the same TV. When I win the lottery, I'll get the bigger version.

Here's my rundown of pro's and con's:

Pros:
* Matte display
* Attractive bezel
* Removable Speakers
* Lots of inputs
* 120-Hz much more pleasing to the eye than the competition

Cons:
* Lack of DVI input
* Auto Brightness feature annoying
* Stand does not swivel

If you're mounting this to the wall, and have a single HDMI cable coming from an upconverting receiver, it's nearly perfect. It will be interesting to see what OLED TV's look like and how it will affect the price of existing LCD TV's.Buy Sharp Aquos LC52SE94U 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV!

Samsung HL50A650 50-Inch 1080p Slim DLP HDTV

The last thing this TV needed was another 5 star review, but I just had to give my 2 cents. This is my first big screen television and after doing plenty of research there was no question that this was the set for me. I bought in September, hoping that I'd be watching the Cubs in the World Series on it. Oh well, that didn't go as planned, but I then had it for football season. Just amazing picture. I have a home theatre, so audio was never used. I have a PS3 and it looks spectacular.

I will say that you should never buy Monster Cables for HDMI. Go to amazon and look at HDMI cables. I bought the SUPER cheap ones for 2 bucks plus shipping. They are good overall. Serviceable. I know that a lot of people believe that a digital signal is a digital signal and I'm not an engineer so I can't argue. I was having issues with my PS3 HDMI with red lines and I'd have to shake the cable a bit, but hey, I spent [...] bucks on cables. I decided to buy a couple MEDIABRIDGE 1.3 cables for 10 plus shipping. The picture is just as good, but the cable is much MUCH sturdier than the super cheap one. When you hold the 2 in your hands there is a noticeable difference in weight and how much more solid the mediabridge is. I highly recommend it.

As for the TV, BUY IT, BUY IT BUY IT!!! I got mine for $[...] plus 4 years extended warranty at Best Buy. Best value out there. Buy Samsung HL50A650 50-Inch 1080p Slim DLP HDTV!
