I'm looking for a 42' LCD screen for my room. I would prefer it to be as slim as possible because im planning to mount it up on the wall and dont want a fat box sticking out. I have a buddy who will be able to get me a small discount on either Sony's or toshiba's.

Now, is there any model of either brand that's the best bang for the buck? I'm planning on staying below a $1300 price bracket of the retail cost.

Thanks.

Only Toshiba TV I'd consider is their DLP line... and even then I'd choose Samsung over Toshiba.

For LCD, I'd go with either Samsung or Sony. Don't think I'd even put Toshiba on the list for LCD...

Seems like I over-estimated my space availability, so I need to step down to a 32inch. Since toshiba isnt that great, and I don't really like the lower-end sony's I'm starting to like this samsung model in particular.

Any feedback on this?

Yeah I think Samsung have good units on the price range you are looking for.......I'm planning to get either the Sony SXRD (LCos) or the Bravia or both. They are just absolutely superior and have gorgeous picture than the other brands right now......Sony is back on top of the game!!!

LCD = sony or samsung. Sharp is pretty good as well.

whynot

Whatever you do, do NOT get Sharp. The PQ is pretty blurry even in HD. I have a 32" Sony Bravia and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

i have a 37" aquos LCD, and the PQ is perfect

i personally love the set, and think the sony's are WAY overpriced for what you get

TSXmeister

The Sharp Aquos had the edge for awhile before the Sony Bravia came out.....but now Sony has two winners the Bravia and the SXRD sets, they are just absolutely superior IMHO. Trust your eyes!!....look and compare before buying, traditionally Sony's are priced more but you are getting the best.

Not bad for $1,079 and free shipping..

FYI... Sony makes all the screens (LCD or plasma) for Samsung but the Samsung are cheaper... Go figure...

Link?

Samsung manufactures their own stuff. It's not like Zenith or Hitachi or anything which have parts made for them by top tier manufacturers..

Sony and Samsung are huge rivals... I doubt that Sony is making parts for Samsung.

Sony doesnt even make plasma screens

How about dell? My friend works at dell... are their screens any good, or should I stick with samsung?

Between those two I'd choose Samsung.

However, if you can get a killer deal on a Dell b/c of your friend's discount... then go for it!

Ok well, I got it down to 2 models. They are both going to be purchased for the same price..which one would you guys suggest if the price were the same, and I'm looking for a tv that will display movies nicely...I dont play video games much, at all.

Sony hands down

Sharp has an AWFUL picture. I think it pixelates when a snail walks by on the screen. I would never buy anything from Dell, EVER. So that leaves the Samsung or Sony. I haven't seen as many Samsungs as I have Sony. I personally wouldn't go for an LCD, but if you don't have the space to go bigger, I would spend the little extra to get the Sony Bravia. For LCD, I think it is umatched.
