anyone here know anything about LCD TV's

I was planning on spending my OT hours on a 40" Sony LCD, but people at my job keep telling me to buy a Vizio.

does anyone here know about that company or perhaps own one? Or what do you guys reccomend?

In my honest opinion, I would recommend the 42" LG 1080p TV's. They along with Samsung, provide a better money value than the Sony Bravia for example.

I helped my dad through the specs of finding and buying this LG TV about 3 years ago. It was worth ~$3000, now its worth $1,353!! (Australian)

This is the next model up which I am planning to buy / wait for a newer model, within the next 6 months.

Now...4ms response time is truly good for a 47" TV, as well as the 500cd/m² brightness to contrast ratio 50,000:1. MAYBE the contrast ratio is based on dynamic contrast (a marketing gimmick to basically lie about the actual contrast, which if this was the case...that 50,000:1 would be close to 10,000:1 at most)...but the visuals are just fine compared to the previous model.

Otherwise, if you have the money...why not try out Sony's XEL-1 OLED Digital TV!! Can't beat 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio in proportion to a theoretical near infinite resolution, and refresh rate.

Though you might have to wait for bigger sizes in the near future.
