Best 1920x1080 LCD TV?

[soccerballtux]

Anybody know which one it is?

Friend was wasted and let his ladder he uses to get into the bunk fall straight into his TV. He's got it insured; now I'm trying to convince him that the $1400 he spent on his 32" 1333x768 "1080P" Sony Bravia was a waste and that he got ripped off (bought this in December).

Westinghouse has some inexpensive 1080p sets (from teh reviews they are great for HD but don't handle sd all that well). I think you can find their 42inch one for around 1200-1400.

the westy 42" 1080p doesn't come with a built in tuner, just for your information. But not that watching regular SDTV signal over an HDTV is something you'd really want to do too much,.

There's a Sharp with that resolution.. I think it's on Newegg. The Bravia is a waste. 1366x768 sucks.

$1400 for a 32"?

I bought a 62" DLP 1900x1080 for $1999.

So in my opinion, I would say yes he got seriously ripped off. Bravia's are known for not needing much calibration, but I'm not sure that's worth the price premium.

Hm what do you mean by "tuner"?

His current broken Bravia was "HD ready" (IIRC this means nothing); he had to get the box to hook it up to the the HD cable he just got.
