hm. What exactly a 'lock up' on a TV? It froze? Never saw that before... I'm not yet into the HD era though, still warmin up the tubes down here!
Also, My buddy just got a 36" Toshiba LCD and it looks great. No complaints from him yet. (I think it's a Toshiba...)
Samsungs always look nice in the stores...Also on 360 Kiosks.
Toshiba is really good, my friend owns one. But he also owns a Samsung, which is even better. I would get a Samsung, because... that's what I'm getting when I get the money for it.
Just got a 46" 1080P 20,000:1 contrast ratio Samsung for $899. I fucking love Slickdeals.net
That sucks man and kind of strange. Vizio has had a pretty good reputation even considering that they are cheaper.
If you can afford a Samsung, get it.
hehee. i had to talk my bro out of buyin one of those turds when we were at costco. next to a sony or a samsung you see how truely shit the picture is. the people that review vizio sets online clearly never owned a decent tv before and are just happy to finally have one in their price range.
if your buyin lcd. there's only 2 brands. sony and samsung.
if your buyin plasma, there's only one. pioneer.
you can get a 46" samsung lcd w/ 120hz refresh for about $1500 right now. do it.
Go with a 9" SDTV.
@What exactly a 'lock up' on a TV? It froze?
That's right. Wife was watching TV and it completely locked up; the image on the screen froze, and the audio dropped. All buttons became unresponsive. Had to pull the AC plug to reset it.
Investigating this Sony as we speak: Linky
That sucks man, i would get a Sony or Samsung if i was you, they seem like the best for videogaming
Yeah, samsung is real good. I actually like them over Sony when it comes to TVs. Got my 46 incher from best buy almost 2 years ago and I haven't had any complaints so far. It'll probably die after my 3 year warranty is up LOL.
check out the LG Scarlet. really good if you can afford it (got a 37 inch one and it works great). also, hdtvs are prone to messing up....mostly with dead pixels.
I got myself a Viewsonic LCD 42" N4285p, full HD 1080p setup for 1100$ CAD from Costco (dunno if that's the same as Sam's Club...). Anyways although it's not a super recognizable brand in the world of TVs, it really kicks ass, no problems whatsoever in over a year of use.
Only minor issue is it's a tad bulkier than the Sony and Toshibas of the world, but oh well...
If you are getting lock ups, update the firmware. I've had a couple of weird problems with my cheaper HDTV and upgrading the firmware remedied them.
