Gonna be picky here... LG certainly doesnt rank among the 'best'.  There might be a case of best value for money, but best no...

Sony, Philips, >>> Panasonic> Samsung and LG

Totally wrong^

Philips should NOT be anywhere in that list for a start lol, LG and Sony LCD panels are the best in the industry and is why most the other brands use their panels, Samsung, don't make me laugh lol


Two wrongs don't make a right.

Sony uses Sharp LCD panels for 2009 models. It used Samsung LCD panels for 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003 models.

Sony doesn't make their own panels so how can they be at the top of the LCD tree?

As for LG...dont make everyone here laugh. There is a reason why LG TVs of same spec are usually cheaper than Sony Samsung and Sharps...

You are living in the old ages....

LG win awards every year for the quality and features of their tv's, they were also first to bring out the new LED wireless HD tv this year, they beat Sony to it by 3 months and ended up with better reviews than the Sony too.

Take a look at the late 2009 and 2010 models by LG and take notice of the features, reviews and AWARDS they have won from all the major review magazines and websites (90% of them beat the equivalent sony and samsung models easily), then come back and tell us LG isn't good lol, and didn't you see LG at CES a few weeks back? they had the biggest show out of all the tv makers with the most models coming out this year.

Also, LG LCD tv's are well known to have the best motion control out of all the LCD makers, look it up if you wish.

 

There is also a reason LG is now the second largest tv manufactor in the world, because they are good and they don't over charge like most the other makes do! buy a Sony tv and your paying an extra £250 for the name alone when the actual tv is no better than any other on the market.

And you mention Sharp in your comment lmao! their tv's are one of the worst you can get, look up some reviews lol

How can you say Sharp sucks yet Sony is amazing? Its the same LCD panel... I personlly don't like Sharps but they make Sony panels so they must do something right.

Also here are the best TV reviews on Cnet for 2009. http://reviews.cnet.com/best-high-definition-tvs/?tag=leftColumnArea1.0

All I see is Samsung rapage with an odd Sony, LG and Panasonic thrown in for fun.

Going solely based on manufacturer is JUST PLAIN DUMB. Sony, samsung,panasonic,sharp, LG and phillips all make some really good models and some really DUD ones.

To me, the best TV i have ever seen yet is the KURO. I'd check out CNET, HD beat etc and get some reviews. If your looking at 3D gaming. Hold on. Prices for LCD's fall faster than a brick off the big ben. Last thing you wanna do is purchase a set that is "relatively" obsolete in a year.

I'd wait for the newer HDMI standard. If you can connect to a PC LCD.. gr8. I'd spend on a cheaper LCD right now.. anything for under 200 Euros- and wait for the boffins at the 3D-TV-Bluray camp to get their socks sorted...



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

For a 'national' consumer testing organisation, in Holland, and they are really thorough, the best 20/30 tv's are all Sony's and Phillips... followed by Panasonic Samsung and LG.

http://www.consumentenbond.nl/test/elektronica-communicatie/tv-en-video/televisies/vergelijken

Need to subscribe to view them sadly enough. Highest number is a 7.4 for Philips 42PFL9803H/10

Best samsung is Samsung UE40B8000 with a 6.6... and no they haven't tested the new LED's yet i guess. But still, overall, they say LG and Samsung are in quality behind Sony and Phillips.

Do not get plasma if you plan to play games with a static HUD for hours at a time.
Plasma's still have not gotten past the burn-in issue. They have improved, but not gotten rid of it.
and you want the 100/120hz version. Otherwise when 3-D comes out, you will have to buy a new one.


i bought my tv awhile ago and thought how clear bluray looks but when i went over to my friends place the other day and saw his 120hz tv with blu ray...i was blown away. you can see nails and bolts flying out in explosions. its insane.

I'm currently not sure whether to buy the LG 37' LH4000 (Full HD & 100 Hertz) or the LG 37' LH3000 (Full HD & 50 Hertz). The first one would be around 599 Euros and the second one ~ 480 Euro.

My main question is, if 100 Hertz is important for playing PS3 or is the difference between both that visible? What would be better to watch TV and/or play Wii relating to the amount of Hertz? I want to play most of the time PS3 and Wii on it.

Has anyone some experiences with both models?

Please help me! I just got a new PS3 Slim and I want to play it on a TV with HD v_v'

i would suggest you wait just till may 2010 and then buy it.if sony releases 3d tv's at a reasonable rate then it would be great for you.

 

about the 3d tv's refresh rate.it is  100-120hz minimum but i would suggest 150hz cause most companies have problem with the minimum tech so you should a little bufferzone(extra).

also the 3d tv's hertz requirement thing isn't gonna matter neccesarily cause 3d isn't mainstream yet and they are trying out different ways and technologies to produce it..if in future companies come with another way of producing 3d then your 100hertz tv won't do anything cause the future technology would work differently.

 

so i would suggest you to wait till may 2010 then when Sony launch their 3d tv's,you will atleast know whether they are using the same tech as now or a new one so that you will be assured that tech is supported well in the future and your PS3 will also work with it.so whichever tech they are using will be supported and will become mainstream

I didn't want to wait until May 2010 because of Final Fantasy XIII and I assume that their 3D TV will be super expensive.

i am not saying you buy Sony tv's only.but you will atleast know at tech they are using.you might buy a 100hertz tv now and then sony and all other tv manufacture bring out 3d tv's that need atleast 200hertz then you buying a 100hertz tv may become useless.you might as well then buy a 80hertz tv then which will be cheaper.

 

and if you wait till then you will better able to select as you will be assured that you will not have to change another tv again.

 

and being that you are ready to buy a 600 euros tv which is an expensive one,you might as well wait as sony could price at around that rate too cause they are starting a huge 3d campaign involving sky tv 3d and other networks with 3d fifa world cup so they will not want to price it too high.they might this time price it right for the consumers.sony is launching 3d tv's in may.

 

i know FF13 the big CGI and next graphic defining game is coming in march but you might regreat about your tv the next month.

 

i suggest you connect ff13 to your comp screen and play it their in full hd or just wait a month.

 

I always wanted a 37' TV and I guess I would have to wait at least one year (probably more) until I get a 3D TV with that size for 600 Euros, so I think I made the right decision. Besides I assume that the first 3D TVs won't be that filed.
