help buying 1080p on a budget - Blu-ray Forum

rushmore9 · 10-26-2008, 07:36 AM

best tv for 1000? LCD, DLP doesn't matter. That's what i'm working with and I just need an idea where to start.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

look into the Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ80U 42" 1080p Plasma HDTV $899 from amazon.com plus you get free shipping and they have a good return policy.

Otherwise you could also look into the Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV a great LCD listed on amazon for about $999.

Suggest finding a local store with this so you can go and check it out in person.

Not a lot of positive things have been said around here about Toshiba LCD's. For <$1K, you won't go wrong with the Pany plasma mentioned above.

I was stuck between Pan th42pz80u and Sam ln40a550 for the longest time

and this was when the panasoinc was $1300

I went with the Panasonic with discount it came up to $900 and I could not be any happier with the tv. $900 with free shipping is a steal.

What size display are you trying to get?

rushmore9 · 10-26-2008, 11:16 PM

thanks for asking that question. I'm used to a 62" display (dLp) and so I really didn't want to go below 50", but i'll sacrifice a bit of size for quality if it comes down to it.

callas01 · 10-27-2008, 01:32 AM

If your looking that kind of cash($2100) and that size(52-61") I would suggest looking at either of these 3. Don't buy the Toshiba, its good but for the money if you buy off of amazon, you could do better.
