We replaced our old TV with a Magnavox 42" LCD-TV flat screen. Our old tv was in a square section of an entertainment center, so hubby did some carpentry work for it to accept the bigger rectangular TV. Caught a sale, at of all places, Office Depot and got it for $899.00. We like it.

Purchased a Sharp Aquos 32" LCD thru Costco last year for a bedroom. Paid about $850 and has a great picture and great color.

Got a free 32" LCD TV through one of those "buy land" come-ons. Looks good, and I moved my 32" flat-screen tube TV up into a den.

Bought a 32" Insignia for the bedroom from Best Buy for $699.00. It is their house brand (made by Tosheba). Had it a year and had no problems with it. About 6 month later we bought a 38" ($799.00) for the den and haven't had any problem with it either. Both were on sale at the time we bought them so I think we saved about a hundred apeice on them. The 32" was written up in Consumer Reports as the best buy for the $$$$ in its size.
What size are you looking at and how much are you willing to spend?
Amazon.com has great prices, they usually beat the storefronts by a significant margin and I can vouch for their delivery service.

This is a purchase that I am not doing on line. I need to go look at the TV's. Besides I would rather del it myself, not that I don't trust shipping companies. LOL
What is everyone watching? Plasma, LCD, Projection? What do you like/dislike about them. I want a size in the area of 32-42 in. I have heard good things about LG. Have del. a alot of Vizio. Price is of consideration but quality is more important.
Football has started, around here even pre-season counts.

We looked at both plasma & LCD. We compared them side by side. Pictures were great on either.
What I noticed was reflections. We were in a store with the bright lights and there was more reflection of those lights in the plasma than the LCD.
We needed the TV in the family/great room.......includes kitchen too. So, I didn't want my bright lights in the kitchen reflecting in the screen, so we chose LCD.

We,it seems like most folks on here bought a 32" sony wega lcd about a year ago and its nice.We should've went a bit bigger.I think the quality is pretty much the same for most name brand tv's now.Plasmas I think have a higher resolution, but for longevity, LCD seem to be the best .

I have a 26,two 32, 42,46,and a 52 inch Sharp Aquos spread through out the house. I bought them over the last 18 months either through the UPS-Sharp employee discount or through the UPS-Dell employee discount. You`ll see the discounts increase around the holidays,I think it was almost $1000 on the 52. What I do is run the model number through amazon,nextag,etc, to see what the best price is and the two employee sites were always the cheapest. I haven`t had any trouble with any of them and I`m real happy with the picture and ease of use.

Well, we went to Costco and after looking at what they had and doing some price comparisons on-line I ended up getting a 42" lcd hd Vizio. Was very happy with the look of the picture and with the fact that I could still see a very clear picture even looking from the side of the screen. Picture fade from the side was negligible.
