What brand of Flat Screen HD Tv to stay away from?

That is the resolving power...if you curious the equation is dsin(theta) = 1.22(lambda) *yea, I applied physics

Hell yeah, Rayleigh criterion ftw...lol. That's for diffraction-limited optics though, which the average eye doesn't quite count as, IIRC.

47" LG - 1080p - 3 HDMI inputs

That's what I'm gettin' soon.... That bitch is going on an adjustable tilting wall bracket!! Hahaha!

i recommend vizio, had one for two years with no problems whatsoever. the only time ive seen an olevia, it looked like complete shit. party because the people who owned it were idiots when it comes to electronics, but it was a really cheap tv

from personal experience, the Samsungs get my vote. i have a 61in. slim-DLP in the living room and a Samsung 32in. LCD in the bedroom. the PS3, and Blue-Ray/HD movies, tv, and pictures look amazing on the DLP. the 32in LCD has great picture quality for a LCD-HDTV; the PS3 looked just as good on the LCD(smaller pics of course when compared to the DLP) but upgrade to the 42in. LCD and you'll get 1080p resolution.
i was a diehard Sony fan for awhile, but after reading reviews, and doing some research, the Samsungs were the better buy. plus, look at their sleek cabinets for their tvs.. that gloss black is just too beautiful.

if you go to best buy, STAY AWAY FROM WESTING HOUSE.

Westinghouse is the worst brand I've ever seen. There was a Westinghouse right next to a Samsung at my local best buy yesterday, and oh my god. The picture was all choppy on the westinghouse, it was absolutely terrible. The Samsung on the otherhand, smooth as silk

yeah we have a samsung LCD, great tv.

Dony buy, Olevia, Polariod, Element, Westinghouse, or any other off brand. I sell tvs at Circuit City and those brands are the worst. Vizio is ok, but for $100 you can get a much better tv. Look into the Sony 32m3000 or the samsung lnt3242h, both are around $700 when they are on sale and are really good for the price.

Besides the above, I'd also stay away from Toshiba. I believe most if not all of the Toshiba TVs today are built by Emerson. Which is a so-so brand for TVs. (Same goes for the brand Orion in the past).

At one point a few years back Westinghouse Electronics was sold to Toshiba. These days the W brand is commercializing on a memory of what was vs. what they make now. I've had problems even with the Westinghouse branded lightbulbs.

Hitachi gets my vote.

my parents have only owned hitachi. and I will own a hitachi when i get my own place. my children will own hitachi, and my children's children will have hitachi's. so on... and so forth.

Panasoinic is good in terms of Flat Screen tvs heard my rents got one but I haven't seen it yet.

[AccordWarrior]

a VERY good rule to go by is to get a tv that is ONE SIZE LARGER than what you think you want. i have a 37" toshiba regza that i wish was a 42". i'd recommend any of the toshiba regzas. tons of features, GREAT PRICE, plenty of options, reliable as hell, etc. they've made a name for themselves.

I have the 42" Regza...it's a great TV, and a very good deal. It's a 720p, but it looks beautiful.

I forgot you had that. 360 graphics look bad ass as well. Give it a couple years though the prices are starting to go down a little by little.

I have an LG. I got it on sale and it rocks.
Im not sure what other people think but it works for me.

[sackingz123]

anythin made in china or walmart. ROFL

[Chan_Man]

I got my mind set on a Samsung.

[Djmoua]

Samsung is nice, but I bought a flat panel 25" from Sears and the first week I got it it started to turn wierd color, like someone put a magnet next to it. End up losing the reciept and giving the tv to my parents. LOL.

eventually this will go away...but im not sure about it if its a plasma
