We have an LG and love it both the picture and sound is great and it is easy to hook up to everything. We had a vizio but it died within a year.

52" Sony LCD, the only one I could see in the store. ON makes my eyes big boo-boo's. Loved the Hitachi rear projection tv, but couldn't see the screen anymore .

Default Monolith

My TV is a Sharp. We got a really good buy on it at Costco. It's 37 inches.

We have a huge entertainment center and it was very expensive. It was the perfect thing for our Florida home, but when we moved it came with us (too hard to sell for a decent price!) and now I call it the MONOLITH.

It really stands out in my great room here.

Hubby and I groan about it but we are too cheap to say adios. Even at resale shops the going price for these is not close to the cost.

So for now the latest and greatest in t.v. world will have to wait.

The TV we have now fits perfectly into the cabinet of the MONOLITH.

Some day I'd like to get one of the t.v.s you hang on the wall. I'd like to play a CD on it that has nature scenes; just keep it going and enjoy when not watching the shows.

we have a 48jvc rear proj....had it for a few years. It's alright...having it around the kids makes me nervous...as toddlers love nothing more than to bang against screens....I personally could live without a tv, but that's just me.

Best of luck on your purchase. I'm happy with the jvc.

I have a 57" (I think) Hitachi Ultravision Digital. It's about 5 years old.

Why did I get it? I just liked the way it looked!!

I can turn it on, off and change the channel. That's it. We have two other remotes that control the DVD player and I'm not sure what the other one does!

I've had to call my son on his cell phone to get him to tell me how to get the "TV" back after he's left home with a movie on pause!!!

Who knew we would have to learn another language just to talk about TV's!!

In the last year we have bought a Samsung 60 inch LCD 1080I for the living room and a Panasonic 42 inch plasma 780I for the bed room (wall mounted!! ). I like the picture on the plasma the best but it is not for Video games or long pauses. The image will burn into the screen. The 60 inch is great but it is huge. I need to have it wall mounted then I would like it beter.

Just an FYI.. we purchased both TV's at Circuit City on special sale day's (day after Thanksgiving, Memorial Day) and paid less then half of the MSRP.

bought a samsung 40" LCD 1080p since our old sony 52" first gen HDTV rear projection TV took a dump...

why did i pick a samsung? recommended from friends that own them and i had seen them in action in a real TV/video game playing environment.. i never liked judging them on the sales floor of the big chain stores.. because i don't watch TV with 120,000 watts of overhead lighting.. and i sure don't have 60 other TVs playing the same thing at once distracting me or 3 different sales people asking me if i need help..


so far i am happy with it.. i just wish they would figure out if bluray or HD will be the standard for DVDs so i can actually buy one and use it to its full potential.. even so 720p and 1080i HD broadcasts look pretty good much better them my old sony.. non digital signals look pretty bad but thats analog for ya..

Just bought a 42" Hitachi Plasma TV for 799.00, this was the last one at Best Buy sitting in the middle of the aisle, so we took it. And then we bought a JVC home theater package for $256. Everything is awesome.
