I'm looking into getting an LCD TV for my bedroom. For reasons of space and the fact that my eyesight is better than ever, I'm only looking for a 20 inch screen, sorry to disappoint all of you. After all the research, I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Sharp Aquos models, but I can't seem to figure out what the differences are between the 3 different 20 inch models that Sharp offers: LC-20B4U-S / LC-20S2U-2 / LC-20E1U . I've spoken to a few wholesalers that I know, and each of them have different prices on them. Visually they look slightly different, but when you look at the specs, they are virtually identical. Anyone know something about any of these units that I might not know? Any one own one of these to tell me something? I think i'm going to get the 20B4U-S only because I like the look the best..Anyone?

Ed check out the polaroid LCD screens at Bestbuy....i dont know what the price range is for the sharps but im in the same situation as you and was considering the polaroid as the picture quality was very good and the price to match

 

I don't have any wholesale connections for the Polaroid unit, but I will say that the price i'm getting for the Sharp is cheaper than that..
I got something from Dell, they've got a promo on the 17" and 23" LCD TV's..I think the 17" was $699 and the 23" was $1,599, the 17 gets 10% off, the 23 20% off, but I really don't want to spend that much, expecially almost double the price for 3" more..

The polariod is very nice but I'm pretty sure it has a clear plastic layer over the screen like on NEC moniters, this makes it look vey bright but you will get a lot of glare.

 

samsung has been coming out with a lot of great stuff lately, you should look into it.

 

I was gonna use it in my bedroom and Ed was gonna use it in the same location so I dont think the glare would be an issue but after seeing a few screens side by side the polaroid had a great picture for the price. Ed i would check the prices on the polaroid online before I buy anything.

 

You guys living together now?

 

Get a Gateway, you'll get the most bang for your buck. (if you're a label whore, you could always debadge it and put a name-brand on it).

 

Samsung is pretty good for the price. Sony is not always the best. I think it's overpriced.

 

I knew I should have edited the post ...... especially after the responses from the why i have an auto and not a six speed pic thread ......lol

 

Big fan of samsung and toshiba products.
