Looks like the Sony and Samsung brand has received the most praise... At a price.

Yeah I kinda got that impression when I was wading through that site myself...I guess that's why I ended up with a Bravia.

It's definitely in contention.


Side note: it appears the people in this forum aren't the only ones that can't spell "definitely": I saw numerous occurrences in the AVS forum. :hehe:

Right on. I'm not trying to sell you on anything of course...but I'm sure after your brain melts from looking at all the info on that forum and the web, in general, I'm sure you'll find something that suits your need. Remember you bought your flat panel monitor for your comp and you are happy with that. ;)

Hehe. It might give you more nutrients to fuel your flat panel search. :mrgreen:

I'll need it. :sweat:

Another rather important and overlooked feature is the remote... I've been downloading the user manuals of the various models just to see how ergonomic and usable the remotes are....

I like my remote :) It also has Indigo Blue backlit buttons so you can see what the heck is going on when the room is pitch black. :say_cool:

Backlighting on the remote is a definite plus. :victory:

Obviously not crucial but nice ^_^

Well, Panasonic is out: they don't make anything larger than a 37" LCD... :headscratch:

LOL.

I bought a universal remote that can be programmed: I can turn off (or on) my TV, DVD, set top box and home theatre audio with one button no :victory: Good for the Mrs who never remembers which buttons to push.

Sony makes an uber-fancy one that is programmable, has multiple touch screens, and whatnot.

At a Sony price. :sweat:

Is that supposed to be a remote control or a boogie board?

Seriously! I'm sure it's kickass and full of features but it's a bit too big to use comfortably with one hand methinks.

Panasonic, as I'm sure you know, is still producing plasmas...in fact their VIERA line is still dominated by plasmas. I dunno since they don't specialize in LCDs and since you're looking for one I wouldn't want to go with them anyway...their LCD business doesn't seem to be a major focus for them.
