What LCD TV is best: Sony? Samsung? LG?
Hi there!
At the moment I have a 32″LCD Sony Bravia Tv. However, I would like to get a bigger one that is 40″ or 42″ that still offers quality sound and picture. But I have two questions:
1. Is LCD better than plasma in order to watch films, dvds or play wii? Do LCD tvs provide a clearer picture?
2. What make (and series if you know) would you recommend?
a) Sony seems to be the best in quality and sound but only offers the 40″.
b) Samsung -no idea but seems to have good reviews.
c) LG have loads of models but I have read some bad reviews.
I would really appreciate any feedback from you. I am sure that some of you guys have had the same dilemma 
Cheers
For sizes 42″ or larger, definitely go with a Plasma TV.
And no…LCD’s are not better then Plasma when watching movies or games! Plasma TV’s have the highest ‘native’ contrast ratio’s(40,000:1), giving them the blackest blacks and more vivid and rich looking colors! (Most other brands only list their TV’s dynamic contrast ratio…which is a useless number that you won’t see in a home environment!) Plasma’s also have the fastest response times(.001ms) and fastest refresh rates(600hz), making them the best at producing the sharpest picture possible for fast motion content like sports, movies & gaming!

Sony and LG have dropped down a peg or two the last couple years in terms of liability. Not sure why, but it maybe has something to do with quantity rather then quality! Only Pioneer and Panasonic have remained strong in the performance and reliability categories!
Depending on your budget, these two TV’s from Panasonic are great entry-level models with outstanding pic quality and affordability!

If you have money to spend, i HIGHLY recommend Pioneer’s PRO-111FD model or Panasonic’s V10 or Z1 Series Plasma TV’s! Magnificant High-end models…but with a price tag! Also…Panasonic’s G10 and S1 Series’ of Plasma’s are outstanding as well and are Panasonic’s flagship series’!
