Irishwiseguy2006 · 02-02-2008, 08:37 PM

I have heard most people talk how good Panasonic is. I have not owned one so I cant say.

Stinkin Mushroom · 02-02-2008, 08:38 PM

sound of samsung tv's aren't that great.. Panasonic and sony on top

X400 · 02-02-2008, 08:44 PM

I think ZENITH made the best tvs in terms of hardware quality.. we still have one that works since i was like 6 (and some vcrs), Sony too

buttt since zenith isnt zenith anymore

1.Pioneer/Sony
2.Samsung/Mitsubishi (not sure on how good they are now but ill put em here anyhow)

i do not like toshibas... have had nothing but problems with their tvs, thank god for warranties

I work for Sirius satalite radio and they just anounced on "Hair Nation" ch 23 that consumer reports just announced Panasonic Plasma's as the best overall TV. lol pretty ironic on the timing.

1. Runco (plasma)
2. Fujitsu (plasma) not anymore

3. Pioneer Elite (plasma)
4. Pioneer (plasma)
5. Panasonic (plasma)

1. Mitsubishi Diamond (LCD)
2. Sony XBR5 (LCD)
3. Samsung, Regular Mits, Regular Sony (LCD)
4. Toshiba (LCD)
5. Vizio, Olevia, Magnavox, Zenith, and the rest.

And Plasma > LCD for overall PQ

Maxell · 02-02-2008, 10:19 PM

Samsung (Great price and quality)
Sony (Great price, a few hundred more than Sony)
Panasonic (Great quailty, but rarer to find)

ResOGlas · 02-03-2008, 02:57 AM

Panasonic
JVC

...and if you have unlimited amounts of money, you could buy artsy-fartsy, stylish Bang & Olufsen displays that use Panasonic panels. If you have nothing else to do with your money and decide to go this route, Bang & Olufsen has great customer service.

JohnGalt · 02-03-2008, 03:55 AM

1. Pioneer
2. Sony
3. Panasonic
4. Samsung

I think you can pretty much stop there though Sharp probably does merit a mention for their recent LCDs.

gand41f · 02-03-2008, 06:08 AM

Plasma
1. Pioneer
2. Panasonic

LCD
1. Sony
2. Sharp

Plasmas and LCDs have different uses, so I'm not going to put an order between the two. I think the best plasmas have better picture quality than the best LCDs but I bought an LCD myself due to other factors (ambient lighting, computer monitor use, etc.)

enjoy
