Hi, this is my first post. I have been hit with the HD bug and Im very anxious to get a new tv. I currently have a nice tv, but its not HD. Its a 36" Sony Wega. Iv loved it over the past 6 or so years. But im ready to step it up into the HD world.
Iv been doing a little research, but by no means am I an expert. I have narrowed it down a little. I would like a 42" LCD 1080p television. TV is in a room with a decent amount of light, so LCD makes sense. TV center it will be going in will hold a 44" wide max. Im SOOOOO close to being able to fit a 46" if they were only about 1 inch skinnier. But most 46" are out of my price range anyway. I will be about 6-10' away from tv when watching.
The tv will be hooked up to Dish Network HD. I dont currently have a BluRay or HDDVD yet, but plan to get a PS3 or Xbox 360 very soon and that will cover that. Mainly the tv will be movies, sports, video games... not a whole lot of tv shows, but will be some.
I have decided that I DO WANT 1080p, and dont care what anyone tries to tell me about "its not noticeable under 50" or its not or will never be broad casted.... Ill take my chances. I just dont want to be back here in a year regretting my decision wishing I had gotten 1080p... Id like to get best I can now and hopefully it will last another 6+ years like my last one...
Now, with all that being said.. Im looking for suggestions on which model tv to get. Here are a few I have found and are considering, but would like some first hand reviews...
Westinghouse LVM-42W2 42" LCD (no HD tuner, but cheapest)
Sharp - AQUOS LC-42D62U 42" 1080p LCD HDTV
Toshiba - Regza TheaterWide 42HL196 42" 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV
those are the only 3 that I have really seen, but Im not set on just one of them, if you have any other suggestions please feel free to chime in...
thank you ahead of time
