Best LCD Panels !!! Price vs Quality !!!

Dear Friends

As everyone knows, AV market today is flooded with LCD Panels, and are available in various sizes, with different brand names...

But, which one is best, which one to choose and for what purpose...???

Mentioned below are few shortlisted Brands, basically OEMs, that are considered most in market...
1). Sharp
2). Hitachi
3). Panasonic
4). Samsung
5). LG

Please mark your opinion with your valuable comments, why do you think the brand/OEM you chose is best...

Many out here must be wondering why i have not mentioned SONY, in the list, as its a hot product in market, but they will be amazed to know, that Sony is not an OEM, they dont manufacture LCD Panels, they import LCD panels from Samsung, Hitachi & Sharp and assemble them...

Anyways, hop in with your valuable suggestions...

Why not this beauty in your list ?

Beauty on Staircase or beauty on TV Rack...???
LOL...

Anyways, Toshiba is not in my list, as i am still to study about Toshiba being the OEM for LCD Panels, or again an importer...
Sorry, i dont have any idea on that...

/// Why not this beauty in your list ? ///

Which beauty in the picture you refer? The television?

makes sense mridul , but again screen size also plays important role while picking up.

so I'm voting for panasonic for panels <=32 inch size. Otherwise have to go with samsung though i don't like it.

LCDs I've
a. Toshiba WLT66 (23 inch)
b. Panasonic LX70 (26 inch)
c. Panasonic LMD70 (32 inch)

hey yo may reject sony but i will give 100% assurance to sony its awesome as i got a sony bravia lcd klv 46x200a

Hitachi anyday... guaranteed to be AS-IPS which is the best panel technology and excellent prices to go alongwith it.

Please consider 'Customer service ' factor also while putting down some 100K for a LCD panel.

Don't know about HITACHI, TOSHIBA and PANASONIC (Please somebody update ,e on these brands) but Samsung, SONY and lG have good nation wide support service. I had a very very good experience of SAMSUNG and SONY in this regards.

I second your comments for Samsung & LG for service...
And to tell i use to put Sony Service on top, but after working in this industry,
specially in Bangalore, i now doubt regarding the panel services of Sony...

Its hard to believe but from one of my sources, who himself is in service of Panels, told me that Sony is facing 2 service panels issue per day basis, and moreover they have problems for stocks of the replacement material...

so kindly reconfirm on that...

But, my experience says Sony should not do anything like that, as i have one Sony 21" CRT, which was serviced on time, by Service Center...

Regarding Hitachi, they have one Service Center, in Hanumanth Nagar.
Regarding Panasonic they have two service centers, i suppose...

No Idea about Toshiba...

I need this one! At its thinnest, the 42DS9 is just 34mm deep
