TV for our sitting room

Thanks! I was half worrying I hadn't picked a good one.

My grandmas old TV recentyl died.

Insurance paid her 2000 dollars for that old piece of crap!

Now, she's got a 60" or so Samsung HD.

 

[RayorDragonFall]

60"?! Is that even possible?!

 

[JPH]

60"?! Is that even possible?!

50", 60"...close to that...

Bitch is big though, I can tell you.

What about working for one of the major telecom companies in the country that also happens to be a major television provider where job duties also include product compatibility and performance testing?

And you don't have to try and have a cock-off with me. I know what I know. If you don't want to believe it, that's fine. You can swear by user reviews on newegg and spout wikipedia knowledge with no real world experience all you want. I'll try and get you hard numbers when my VPN access comes back up, though that won't be linked to wikipedia article, so you probably won't believe it anyways.

Must be Comcast. That qualifies you as an HTDV expert? Whatev.

Again. Link to the failure rate please?

And Wikipedia, wtf are you talking about?

Again, why do you keep trying to put words in my mouth? Where did I say I was an expert*? If you don't want to believe me, that's fine. Keep acting like you have knowledge when all you know is what you read on the internet. I'll get you a doc on failure rates when I can remote back into my work machine. I do remember that the top 3 were all no-name brands. I think Vizio was one, but I don't remember exactly, it was from about 4 months ago.

And no, not Comcast.


*I am a CHTDS, however.

I always thought the stuff strokemouth said was common knowledge :/

And I always thought that when people bought Sony products in general, they knew they paid more not only for the name, but sometimes substandard http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=lcd+failure+rates+wega products, failed formats (Minidisc, ATRAC, Betamax, UMD movies), the possibility of getting infested with illegal rootkits http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sony+rootkit and jacked-up package license terms.

Plus some off-brand HDTV companies have been making PC LCD's for years with quality results that went unnoticed because fanboys didn't have a logo to drool over. But it doesn't really matter because user ratings show people are happy getting the same quality for 30% less (yes, I trust the end-user experience) and these are people who earn their money rather than go tell their parents to buy the most expensive item if it wont affect their aggregate allowance.

Best quality is Sharp Aquos series. Best I've ever since. Coming from a person who has a Bravia/Samsung/Sharp/Some China Brad LCDs. The Aquos series if quite expensive though but worth every penny.
