tegregg Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Being pretty new to LCD TV's, I am looking for any advice anyone may have that would help me in purchasing a new LCD. I am looking for something around 40" or 46" that is true HD and has a decent amount of inputs (hopefully at least 3 or 4). I like the look of the Bravia and the Samsung LA40F71BX but dont really know if either of these are any good or if there is something better out there for the money. Any help would be much appreciated. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The Sony seems pretty highly regarded on this Forum. The Samsung is essentially the same panel with different electronics - minus a built in HD tuner. Sharp have also just released their new 1080p LCDs, so with more competition, you should be able to pick up the 46" for $4500 now if not very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davep Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The 60" SXRD might be a goer for you, if you didnt want/need a truely flat panel screen. It seems to get pretty good reviews with 2 extensive threads already in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Unless you are constrained to a 46” flat screen for practical reasons, consider a 60” SXRD for $4500-$4700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markgts Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I recently picked up a Samsung 46 inch for $4100 which i am really happy with. It does 1080P over component which i think a lot of others dont do ie the Bravia? This is very handy as my XBOX 360 looks awesome running @ 1080P and it upscales DVD's aswell....and makes them look great. Last night i watched the covenant on DVD and zoomed in the picture until it fitted the screen completely, and it still looked awesome! Also it will do 1:1 pixel mapping over VGA out of the box, and over HDMI with a firmware update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent86 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I looked at the Schaub Lorenz VMD4200PHF MK2 at the 'Big Picture People'. This is the set with 2 HDMI inputs. It retails for $3999. The MK1 set without HDMI retails for $500 less. Flipping through the HD broadcasts of Chs 2, 7, 9, 10 looks pretty good. I also put in the DVD 'The Matrix', and picture looks also pretty good.
