Since you guys did the research already...... any recommendations? My JVC is starting to "snow" alot so was walking around Future Shop but not really into TV's that much. I've decided LCD and somewhere in normal size range ie 32-40. Just need some opinions on brand and important features to pay attention to for picture quality. Use of the TV is really only for watching kids shows   and movies, occasional gaming. Of course the FS salesmen are more than willing to sell me the super top of the line but I trust you guys more so give me some suggestions please.

TIA

An easy read article.

If I were looking for a new LCD I'd stick with a Sony or Samsung.
Of all the reviews I've read Sony & Samsung are consistently in the top 10.

costco is your friend... NOT the sale guy at Futureshop !

OK, I'm starting to see a trend here. How many people in the group have beige/brown walls & white ceilings?

This has also been a great Christmas for me as well. My wife gave me easily the best present I've ever received.
But it's not pinball/arcade related so I'm sure that nobody wants to see a pic.

Although this article is a "little" out-of-date,
it sums-up well the difference between LCD and Plasma.

I went for Plasma because :

1- Better color contrasts
2- Better viewing angles
3- Less motion blur

[ NB.  These issues are getting less noticeable with newer LCD's ]

'nough said

I bought my biga$$ TV last year (Dec. 24th to be exact!)

I bought a   DLP

Reasons: cheaper, bigger (50") and no blur when watching hockey.

Medvet: the only advice I can give you is not to buy the TV at WalMarde...

Some of the companies that have good reps are the usual Toshiba/Sony/Panasonic/etc...

Others that have good product, IMHO, are Samsung and LG.

Mine's a Toshiba I'm VERY satisfied with it!

I've been looking as well. Is Costco really that much less? What about extended warrenty? Do they offer that. With the newer technology there are failures and best to be covered. At least that's my thought at this point.

So far, I'm leaning towards LCD. I have read LCD is best for video games. Plasma is good for sports. Also, Plasma needs a dark room for best results.
