What Is The Best Lcd Hdtv Choice?
I am going to buy a 32″ LCD HDTV but dont know which brand to buy. There are a lot out there and I have recently bought two (Protron and Olevia) tv’s and they both had the worst picture quality. I would like to know what would be the best brand to buy. This tv is for a Bedroom.
It is hard to beat Sony for lcd’s. Samsung or Sharp would also be good choices. For service/customer support reasons stay away from those off-brands.
And yes, the Sharp at Circuit City is a good deal. Their web site today says it is $999.99. They also have the Sony for $949.99 which is a good price and would be my choice. You might even save $50 more by going to Sears who will not only match CC’s price but give you an add’l discount because their price was higher.
Samsung would be your best choice.
Sharp Aquos hands down.
NO way buy HDTV its MUCH better high defenition its good,,, It makes things look real and good colour.I have 5 of them! and there flat screans too!

It’s about time. This year, along with satellite radios, we add HDTVs to the mix. And, as you might expect, readers rate all sorts of vendors offering all sorts of HD technologies, from plasma TVs and rear-projections to good ol’ CRTs. But two companies stand out: Pioneer and Sony.
If you look at the overall scores across all technologies, Pioneer is king, with a significantly above-average overall score of 9.0 out of 10. This has a lot do with the fact that readers prefer plasmas to all other HD technologies. Pioneer is one of the biggest plasma vendors, and it’s the lone Readers’ Choice for this segment of the market, with a 9.1 out of 10. It’s also the Readers’ Choice for rear-projection TVs, with an 8.7.
In the big picture, across all technologies, Sony is just behind Pioneer, with an overall score of 8.5, and it receives a Readers’ Choice award for CRTs (8.4), and LCDs (8.6). Readers also shared their experiences with front-projection TVs, but Sony was the only vendor rated. And because Sony received only 50 responses in total, a Readers’ Choice in that niche category will have to wait until next year.
Pioneer
No one comes close. Pioneer garners the highest overall score. The company comes out ahead on rear-projection TVs and, in particular, plasmas.
Sony
Looking for an LCD model—or even a good old CRT? Look to Sony. And Sony’s scores are pretty darn good for rear-projection models, too.

Get a Sharp Aquos for 899. That is a great deal. Just make sure there isnt anything wrong with it. Examine it carefully while in the store.
I would definitely go with the Sharp Aquos. They retail for around $1400. I’ve got a few in stock and could get one to you for $1249 w/ free shipping. Let me know at a.taylor@onsitesat.com
