What kind of HDTV do you have and what made you buy it?

The replys are great everybody, keep 'em coming .
I think I am tossed up between a sony bravia and a samsung.
This is almost as bad as buying a car

You can't go wrong with either one of those.

You notice I only said the TV was "on" ....... Often its just background noise while we go about our everyday lives.

I don't have to do that - I'm married.

Arent plasmas hard to watch during the day or in a brightly lit room? Or is that an old wives tale?

Not at all! Ours is easy to see anytime. We love to watch movies on it in 3-D.

we have a 46" insignia...LCD..from best buy...it's ok... but i'd love to upgrade and give it to the kids as a game/movie tv..

56" Samsung DLP - at the time - produced a better picture than the LCD. But since then the LCD has a higher hertz for a better picture. When I upgrade I will go with an LCD - will stay with Samsung though - love their TV's..

Yea, we'll have to agree to disagree with that statement. My Panasonic Viera plasma is now 3 yrs old and the picture is still just as amazing as the day it was un-boxed. Its on about 5 hours a day during the week and about 10 hours a day on an average weekend. If I replace the LCD in the MBR it will be another Panasonic plasma.

I too have a 50 inch Panasonic Viera with panasonic surround sound that is three years old. No picture problems and off center viewing is great.

We have alot of windows in the den and have to pull some of the blinds during the day.

I am well satisified with it. Prices have dropped dramitically since we bought it 3 years ago from Sam's Club.

I was looking at the 70" at sams and best buy and to me they both had terrible motion blur, I'm used to a Samsung 55" DLP and was figuring with It being around 4 years old that tech would be better, at both places they had the 120Hz on display (stupid). So I'm still watching a 40some" while I wait for a suitable replacement for the DLP.

 

[Flem]

I would think that, at 120 Hz, the blur would be minimized. Maybe it's because it's a 70 inch screen.

 

[TJsBasement]

They make a 240hz too, why wouldn't that be the one on display to show everyone how good they look. I'm not going to order something that expensive without seeing it first and I refuse to pay that much for motion blur. I was all excited to get it, got the most perfect spot to wall mount it, then I got to the store and was so bummed.

I have s 52" sony. Thing is amazing.

For a good price on TVs, you really should shop around.

In my experiences, though, I have found Walmart has the best deals.

 

[LanMan]

Well since I started this I guess I should say that I went with the sale at WalMart and got a 47" Vizio 120Hz 1080p for $689 on sale. Bought it last weekend and have yet to take it out of the box. I will be bringing it home this weekend to KY

We purchased a Sharp Aquos 60 inch LCD at Christmas and its an amazing television. Everyone who drops buy and watches it says great things about the quality and clarity of the picture. And Sundays just got better as Nascar looks so good in high Def.

Thats what I was looking at the Sharp Aquos 70", thanks digger maybe I can still hold some hope. Could have been someone didn't have it set right or a customer was messing with the setup.

I bought by Samsung at Sam's (where else?) and it ws less than $400. In 1976 we bought a 19" Zenith color and it was $429, which would be over $1700 today. Amazing.
