What I would love is for someone to help me get more info on what brand would be the best for me. I would use the Tv mainly for Xbox 360 games, Hd Dvd movies and mayby somthing else. I am looking at all brands and really like Tosiba, Sharp, Sony, Samsung. But are these really better than brands like Westinghouse, Vizio, and others like that (to me they seem like they are a little playskool to me)
Any info on what you would do, why and what you have would be great
thanks!

I like the Samsung LCD HDTV. I have my Xbox 360 hooked up and the picture is awesome! I think my second choice would be the Sony LCD’s, but they are more expensive. Check out current prices at Computizone. com
panasonic or pioneer
You will receive quite a few subjective responses to this question. If you want an objective answer, get the February issue of Consumer Reports which reviews a large number of sets.
Besides the question of performance, you have to consider reliability and after warranty repair support.
Some of the lower tier sets are called disposable TVs because you can’t get them repaired after the warranty period.
As for my subjective opinion, the Sony sets are generally top rated. Because of the large number sold, it is unlikely you will run into a problem getting repair parts during the life of the set.
The top tier sets definitely outperform the lower tier sets you mention-just look at the professional reviews.
I got the samsung and love it. Go to Best Buy and just look @ all the TVs from a distance. Walk up to the ones that you think look the best from a distance (brightness, color, whatever looks good to you). I’ll bet you walk up to a Samsung. Amazon has them for a pretty good discount and free shipping.
