MistyDawn Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I need help.....What LCD TV is best for the $$ ? I am looking to buy our first flat screen. I think my hubby would kill me if I went over 42" (he is a anti techno anything). I keep looking at the Samsung at either Walmart or Sears. I am nervous about buying one online (cracked screen). Can you please help? Oh, can I hook up my DVD recorder and old Kmart surround sound with the red, white and yellow jacks, or do I need some special cable? Thank you so much for all of your help. Happy Turkey day, lets get shopping!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblabontefan Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hey Misty, I currently own a Toshiba Regza 32" and 42" and I love them both. However if you are thinking BF deals check out this review from Yahoo Shopping. http://shopping.yahoo.com/articles/yshoppingarticles/170/10-best-bets-for-black-friday/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistyDawn Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow, thanks! That is interesting. I have lots of windows in my living room, will the plasma be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neboo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow, thanks! That is interesting. I have lots of windows in my living room, will the plasma be a problem?You may want to go with LCD in that case. Also something to keep in mind, LCD uses a lot less energy than plasma.

MistyDawn Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 That is what I thought. Thank you. Do you know about the cables? Someone said that I need a different cable, not the red, white, and yellow to hook up to the DVD player. I appreciate your help. I have been saving my $$ and want to make sure I get a good one that everyone will be happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelman Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Most plasma's have an anti-glare and/or anit-reflective screen. I have a Pioneer Kuro plasma and love it. To answer your question, the best BF deal IMO is the 46" Sony LCD @ CC, sale ends today (is a doorbuster deal) and is $1299. Its 1080P w/120 refresh rate, Sony is selling this exact tv for $2000.

Marvelman Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 The yellow/red/white cables are simply RCA cables, one for video and 2 for audio. Depending on how old the DVD player is you can use these or for a better connection (and if your DVD has the outputs) would be a component cable.

boblabontefan Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Misty, our 42" LCD is in our "sunroom" lots and lots of windows with a southern exposure. No problem seeing the TV and no glare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
