LUCINDA574 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Ok I have a dilemna,I know nothing about televisions. I won the HD Done right contest(1st place) which entailed winning a Samsung LCD 40'' tv which was worth $2500.I was really happy. Long story short- they substituted a Best Buy $2500 gift card instead.This is a xmas gift for DH so please help me find the right tv-good quality for the money-big screen- no plasma as I have heard would need installation and they get hot (I have 2 babies). I got the gc today so am ready to shop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourDreemz Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Congratulations!!! Consumer Reports rates the JVC LT-40FN97 as the top-rated 40" tv, with the Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR2 running a close second. The Samsung is #5 on their list, so maybe this was for the best.

RStanton23 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Lucky you. I would vote for the panasonic PX60 Plasma 42 inch. This is a top-rated TV in Consumer reports. Make Best Buy match the Circuit City price (~ $1200). Also, there are lots of other 'rebates' at Best Buy for delivery and other stuff that you need to look at. Secondly, spend some of the $$ on a Home Theater system. Best Buy was (and I think still is) offering a free wireless receiver with the Panasonic Home Theater systems. There is a compatiblility advantage buying the same brand TV and Home Theater system in terms of the remote control compatibilities (a minor issue). Don't forget the Stand! Lastly, you could probably use a new computer... If you cannot spend it all, let me know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossMAN Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 There are two technologies I would recommend DLP and LCoS. DLP - Samsung 56" 1080p LCoS - Sony Grand WEGA 55" 1080p I would recommend visiting your local BB or CC to see these two TV's with your own eyes. If I had to choose I would get the Sony SXRD.

labnpei Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 i agree and would choose either the sony or the samsung-and you would probably have a little left over if you watch the sales and maybe get a price match. congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
