Best bang for the buck TV right now?

[RRxtar]

In the market for a new 42-46" TV in the up to $1500 range, but I dont think I need to spend more than $1000 these days.

I prefer LCD over Plasma. I dont care about 3D. Is LED at a level thats worth looking into yet?

I've owned an LCD, LED, and 2 Plasmas... hands down the Plasmas had the best picture and were the best bang for the buck.

Here's a thread with a lot of info to help with your decision...

LED screen will need 1000-1500
LCD screen can go below 1000

Personally, I can't see any difference. I'd buy whichever fits my budget

try openbox?
i think some rs members bought tv's from there and have no complaints.
dono if they have the tv you'd want but they're alot cheaper than msrp at FS

no openbox in kelowna. no BB either.


I want to go LCD/LED because my TV is right beside a MASSIVE window with afternoon sun and its a really bright room.

Had a 42" Sharp LCD for 3 years that I had absolutely no complaints about but it moved with my roomate.


Im sort of leaning towards a Sony 46EX500 at this point, but still looking. Need to buy a TV before game 2

Look at the new Panasonic E3 series. Great TV's.

If you can find a Panasonic U25 LCD (try London Drugs, Future Shop), it's a slightly older unit with good features and 120Hz. Great panel on it IMO. Also a great deal right now.
