I will go ahead and get this out there now before the people that know there stuff show up and have to ask anyways....

what is you budget? obviously $450 is too much so what are you really looking to keep it under?

Well I wanted to keep it under $300, but $400 is about as much as I want to pay at this point. Better to get me something that will last then spend more money on another flakey one.

You did get a lemon !! I've had mine for about 2 years now, and have not had a single problem. Evidently, I got one of the good ones.........

Sony is the most reliable of the bunch. You should check out THIS PC World survey that came out last year and see how reliable the manufacturers are. Also check out THIS chart that they provided.

Thanks for the info, dude -- this does help out a lot. I've been looking at a lot of LGs lately too, since I'm helping pick out the big TV for the family. What I notice is that for the same price as Sony or Samsung offers you a basic level of quality, LG gives you like twice as much. I did a comparison between a Bravia 40" and LG 42" and found the LG had more features, 70,000:1 CR over 30,000:1 on the Bravia, and a higher refresh rate. Actually, the Bravia cost a little more than the LG in that case, too. I'm not a big LG fan, but if they're going to throw such awesome stuff at me for less, it's hard to say no. From the looks of it in the info you provided, they're getting high marks, too. Hmm. Something to think about.
