30"+ LCD TV Recommendations?

[ObscureTerror]

My wife and I have had it with the 30" CRT monstrosity and are looking for an LCD TV that is best for both gaming and movies.

Suggestions?

Something reasonable in terms of cost (i.e. not $5k) and great picture quality.

LCD TVs are far above plasma for gaming from everything I've researched and there's a Samsung out there (forget which model) that's between $1k-$2 we saw on Amazon, though I'm looking for a few other specific suggestions.

Thanks.

Have you looked into Samsung DLP and Sony SXRD?

Sharp Aquos series has true 1080p resolution panels in 32 and 37 inches for great prices. Those are the only choices if you plan to use it on the PC at all. Otherwise, they are still great all around TVs.

It all really depends on you Buget and what size you are looking for. I myself am a fan of samsung and sony in particular the Samsung LN-T4665F its a 46" 1080p LCD. It has a great contrast ratio and is overall very sexy. Generally speaking the Samsung's are going to be a bit less than the sony's, but the sony's will have a marginally better contrast ratio. If you look at sony look at the KDL46W3000 its got a nice pic too. Sharp Has good quality low dollar lcd's im not a huge fan myself as they often have washed out blacks but you can get their 46 for around 2000 in most b&m stores probably less online. If it were me i would shop the big B&M stores i.e. circuit city and bestbuy and cost co and get some sort of price match deal going.
