LCD Tv's

I am beginning to research LCD Tv's and am looking for input as to what one should look for when deciding on one.

 

I have seen a lot about the Dell TV's, some good, some bad, but it's hard to make a decision on one of those without even getting to see the picture. I am looking to get one in the 30 to 32 inch that is wall mountable for my room.

 

I know there are a few Soxtalkers out there who know something about LCD TVs, so I am enlisting your help.

 

Just some information to guide my search or feedback on any specific LCD TV would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you have the money for a Dell I would do it, if you have to finance I wouldn't.  Dell is the worst company I have ever dealt with, bar none.  Their customer service is all out sourced to India, and no one makes any sense.  They are a nightmare to deal with.

I'm not going to finance it, I am just wondering about the quality on their TVs compared to brands like Sony, Sharp, Toshiba, etc.

aboz, I don't know a ton about LCD's other than a friend of mine had a big asses Sony and it was the best TV I have ever seen. He sold it and bought a 42" plasma, which is nice and much smaller in terms of space, but not nearly the TV.

 

Look at the resolution of the TV's. I don't think all LCD's are equal in that regard, but I could be wrong. Also, if you have a bit more space, you might look at some of the new DLP's. I hear they are more economical, yet as good according to some people.

 

Let me know what you end up doing and how you like it. I may be looking for one in the 26" range within the next six months.

I was thinking Plasma, but I've heard they don't last as long.

 

I will keep you posted, I really like the price and specs on this 30" Dell, but unless I can see the TV live, I am hesitant to pull the trigger on it.

i checked that one out and read a review on cnet and it seems pretty poor from what they have said, if i were you i would try to check out some other brands possibly viewsonic as well; with plasma there are other issues too such as higher power usage as a result of the plasma and as well as images "burnt" onto the screen

I didn't see a review for the 30 inch on CNET, just the 26.
