Looking for HD tv for bed room - Blu-ray Forum

vick vega · 12-10-2007, 05:37 PM

Wanted to only spend about 500-600 dollars. Any ideas? Also at least 26" Any suggestions, or hot deals going on w/links would help me out. Thanks, a loyal BD supporter

Also haven't looked into how a hdtv will recieve over the air hd tv broadcasts. Is the tuner built in so I don't have to get another hd cable box?

Provided it has an ATSC tuner, you're set. I'm probably in a very tiny minority, but I use OTA only with excellent results, though I live in a major metropolitan area with clear LOS to the broadcast towers.

Any links directly to a particular tv suggested? Multiple suggestions?

If your budget is around $600, I would suggest the 23" Samsung LCD HDTV. It is $550 with free shipping on amazon.com

Bah, get a Vizio 32" 1080i from Costco for $600. Nothing better for the price/return policy. Good balance of price/performance.

Don't hate on it, mine is plenty reliable. Digital tuner, too.

crackinhedz · 12-11-2007, 12:38 AM

I agree...for $600 you should get at least a 32".

23" is computer screen size...tiny.

JJ · 12-11-2007, 12:42 AM

23 = wimpy wimpy wimpy

32 = hefty! hefty! hefty!

At least in that price range.

I bought this from Best buy on Saturday while on sale for $399.... 26 inch HD LCD 720p...not bad huh!

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1165610666661

But wait!!! I take it out the box, set it up turn it on and DAMN!!!! The picture was so...uuum...uuuhhh...fuzzy, pixels every where!!! Yes it was in SD but it should not be that terrible, HD was much better but those pixels kept poping up during live action or sprots.

The best thing I can say about it is that my PS3 came to the resuce when playing Videos...but the BD...eehhh.

I'm taking it back this weekend for a refund and spen a few hundred more on QUALITY, what's that old saying...oh yea! "You get what you pay for".
