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!

Vizio 42" 1080p LCD Full 120Hz HDTV (SV420XVT1A)

Pros-

This telly was really a snap to set up. It has ample inputs (4 HDMI) for hooking up all manner of techno whiz-bangs. I have found it to have an excellent picture with color reproduction as good or better than lcd's costing several hundred dollars more and the black levels are pretty good for an lcd as well. And the sound, both quality and volume, are far better than any other flat panel television that I've checked out. The remote is functional, neither impressive or disappointing. As another reviewer already noted, the menu system could be a little easier to navigate. But on the up-side, in that menu system you will find settings for absolutely everything, allowing you to tweak the picture and sound to your liking. Also, it is a 1080p resolution although you're not likely to notice it on a 42 inch screen. But 1080p costs about as much as 720p does these days, so why not get it?

Cons-

My only complaint is the 120hz "smooth motion". Images moving slowly across the screen or during a slow camera pan are smoothed considerably. This is especially noticeable while watching something film based. However, the technology that Vizio uses to accomplish this isn't very good at handling fast moving images. Something moving quickly across the screen will have a halo around it with images in the immediate background appearing distorted. Worse yet, during a quick camera pan the entire screen appears to stutter and jump. With a 60hz television, especially when watching film based content originally in 24 frames per second, you expect a little jerkiness during a quick camera pan. But the smooth motion settings on this tv actually make that jerkiness worse, so I usually leave it turned off.

Conclusion-

The 120hz thing is pretty useless on this tv, and a selling gimmick on most all lcd's that have it in my opinion. But you can turn it off. And when you do, you have a 60hz flat screen that meets or beats almost every other lcd flat screen out there in terms of picture and sound quality. The fact that this television can be had for several hundred less than comparable models from companies like Samsung, Sony, Sharp, and LG makes it that much better of a deal. I'd recommend this Vizio to anyone looking to buy a flat screen. Buy Vizio 42" 1080p LCD Full 120Hz HDTV (SV420XVT1A)!

Casio TV-880 2.3" Portable Handheld Color TV

I picked one of these up cheap on Ebay. I live in North County San Diego and the only station I can pick up really well on both UHF and VHF is Telemundo--which comes in *great*. Too bad english is my only language.

Anyway, I don't know if this is a fault of the TV or the technology--but I can't imagine traveling with this if I can only pick up 1 station so near a major metropolitan area. Can't imagine what might happen in the middle of nowhere.Buy Casio TV-880 2.3" Portable Handheld Color TV!

Westinghouse SK-19H210S 19-Inch LCD HDTV

Zero Stars!! I bought this TV for my sons college dorm room. Out of the box the picture was OK but the sound quality was horrible, like the old TVs in the 1950's only worse. I bought external speakers and they worked fine, right up to the time when the whole TV failed on day 3 of ownership. Westinghose sent me to a local repair shop, who charged me $100 to diagnose the problem, and another $100 to swap out some parts. (Whatever happened to the concept of a warranty?) Three days later the set failed AGAIN. I marched it down to a dumpster and tossed it in. Now it is where it belongs, in a landfill somewhere. I will NEVER buy another Westinghouse product, trust me on this.Buy Westinghouse SK-19H210S 19-Inch LCD HDTV!

SpongeBob SquarePants 13" TV/DVD Combination with Remote Control

I have had this TV for almost 2 years now and it has a wonderful picture, as well as great sound quality for such a little TV. It is very cute, and most importantly to me...stable when placed on a table (which I cannot say for most other character TV's). The good things stop there. This really shouldn't be considered a DVD/TV combo as the DVD player rarely works...and I usually give up before getting it to work. I have learned to live without that and just enjoyed the TV itself until a few days ago when the remote was misplaced. You absolutely CANNOT use any universal remote controls with this TV as NONE of the codes work. Good luck finding another on the internet as you could do with any other TV. I have heard you can get one directly from Emerson for like $30 plus another $10 for shipping (haven't spoken w/ them yet to be sure as I just sit on hold forever and gave up). $40 for another remote is insane and I will live without it for that...but since the TV changes channels soooooooooo slowly, it is now kinda useless and just sits on the table looking cute. Invest your money in another product NOT made by Emerson. Buy SpongeBob SquarePants 13" TV/DVD Combination with Remote Control!
