    Anyone have favorite sites to shop for TV's? Loooking to go LCD widescreen, need to read reviews to help find good quality and price. My bro is paying me back some money he owes me, so now is a good time.


    Anyone interested in the area, my old TV is a 5-6 year old 55" Sony, it was so new when I got it, I had to wait 3 months for it to arrive. It works perfectly. :)

    How about this from Matacumbie's link MA

    LG.Philips LCD Wednesday took the wraps off a 100-inch thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panel, which the company claims is the largest in the world.
    The model developed by the world’s runner-up LCD producer is about 1.5 times bigger than the previously largest 82-inch product of Samsung Electronics, the global top player.

    ``Our development of the 100-inch LCD panel reaffirms LG.Philips LCD is the global leader in large-area LCD technology,’’ the firm’s vice president Yeo Sang-deog said.

    ``Technological advances for large-area LCD TVs, such as the 100-inch LCD, will act as a catalyst that accelerates demands for high-quality and large screens,’’ he added.

    Developed at the company’s seventh-generation production lines at Paju, Kyonggi Province, the high-feature panel is a wide screen (16:9) with its width and height amounting to 2.2 meters and 1.2 meters, respectively. I think you could call that a serious TV MA

    The high-definition model, which offers 6.22 million pixels and can produce 1.07 billion colors, boasts a response speed faster than 5 milliseconds.

    That means the amount of time it takes for the LCD TV’s liquid crystal cell to go from black to white is 5 milliseconds, lower than previous norm of double-digit milliseconds.

    Lower numbers represent faster transitions and therefore less visible image artifacts. Monitors will not create a smear or blur pattern around moving objects.

    The LCD panel of LG.Philips LCD, the joint venture between LG Electronics and Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands, also has a maximum 3,000:1 contrast ratio and 180-degree viewing angle.
