From your list, I personally would eliminate: RCA, Insignia, Sanyo, Sceptre, Vizio. That leaves LG (which I personally would not buy because it's Philips and I've had bad luck with their products), Toshiba (they make cheap low-end models, but I've bought their 46" Regza from Costco a year ago and it's stunning), Sharp Aquos, Samsung (most people on this forum love them, but I've had the same l luck with them as Philips), and lastly, you don't include Sony. I have 2 Sony's and they have been brilliant. Take a look at their "W" or "Z" models from last year. They are 120Hz, 10-bit, 1080p/24 sets that have excellent reviews and with the new models out, you may find close-out sales. I'm going to Costco in 20 minutes. I'll check out Sony's there.
've put together a list of LCD TVs that meet the following specs:
120Hz
46 to 52"
<$1,300
LCD HDTV
Problem is I've found ALOT of TVs that fall in this range (10 to be specific) can anyone give me a hand limiting this list to the top 3 to 5 (based on quality, price/best deal, meets my specs/needs and so on,,,)
