Folks:
I am in the process of getting myself a new 40" LCD and have visited several showrooms and seen "demos". I have also read all the reviews on hifivision.com (being a new member myself and this being my first post).
I NEED YOUR HELP in helping me decide.
Here are the facts:
a) I have 8-10 feet viewing distance.
b) I will be watching STB/DVD/Dish video feeds only
c) Money is not too much of a constrant but I do prefer value for money!
d) It would be nice to have USB connectivity
Now, here come the questions:
a) Is 40" too big or just the right size fo rmy viewing distance?
b) I checked out the Panasonic 800 series and compared against Sony (V) and Samsung (5). I thought the Panasonic was better. The dealer said it had 100 Hz compared to 50-60 hz on the Sony (V)/Sam (5). Does Hertz matter?
c) At this size I gather all are Full HD, so what are the other parameters I ought to compare?
d) Can you tell me which is the best overall - better yet help me rank them on a price vs quality vs value for money?
Your inputs would be real helpful.
