      I'm getting a new tv as well in march preferably a 37' and was wondering which is better  samsung, lg, etc. My price range is proably up to $500 or a little more but from what I've seen I can either get a 37' 720p lcd or a good 32' 1080p 60hz lcd tv. Just curious if I should go bigger or go better quality. Right now I'm on my brother's 32' sylvania lcd tv from kmart and it's 720p.

        I have two LG lcd tvs.  One is 48"(I think) and it is full 1080p.  The other one is something like 21" and it is 720p.  I like LG because it does a good job making black look "black" and all the colors are nice and bright.  Some cheaper LCD tvs colors tend to look washed out.  Also my PS3 plays games and BluRays like a charm on it with a nice sharp picture.  Hope this helps.

          I would go with LG or Samsung.

          The other "makers" {except supposedly Sony} buy their parts from them anyway.  This way you aren't having to pay the premium that other brands have on the parts.

            I decided on the Samsung pn42c450 hXXp://www.abt.com/product/45073/Samsung-PN42C450.html.  I got it on sale at hhgregg for $499 and had a $50 coupon so it was $449 + Tax came out to $479.24. Got it home and setup and the right half of the screen had gray/white vertical bars running through it. Took it back and have to wait until April when new shipment comes in. But picture looks nice at store so I'm hopeful.

                yes it is. If it wasn't for the buzzing and hard to screw in stand I'd say it was perfect.
