Q. What is the best brand for a 1080P LCD TV around 46-52 inches between 1000and 1300?
Right now on reputable sites there are Sonys, LG's, Toshibas, Magnavox and a Samsung at the very upper end of that range (BJs.com) .... I have a feeling Magnavox is crap..but a 47 inch 1080P can be had at Target for about $900 after 10% off for opening a credit card before I then pay it off in cash at the service desk.
Thanks
Please keep in mind.. I understand at this price range and size..that 60HZ is the norm. I am going for size.
I am using the TV for broadcasts and movies mostly. I have not looked at any 720 sets. There is a 46inch Samsung at bjs. for about 1170 shipped.
An LG 1080P at Tigerdirect for about 1100 shipped.. Those are the two I am really Eyeballing more recently.
As I understand it,plasma has a limited lifetime.. Longevity is not good.. correct?

A. From the brands you are looking at, the best one is the Sumsang. Let's back up, what are you using the tv for? Fact 1: you won't be able to tell the difference between 720 vs 1080P on screen size below 50" Facts : LCD blurs in fast action sports. Fact 3: Only Blue ray movies are in 1080P program. Fact 4: tv program are 720P. Fact 5: Plasma is better suited at home for movies and sports. If you want the biggest screen for your money I recommend a plasma tv, for less than $1300 you get a 50" 1080P at Costco, along with an additional year of factory warranty at no extra cost and a 90 day return policy. You have to pay for one year membership of $45, if you buy an extra year of warranty it will cost you more than $45. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read a comprehensive review of LCD and Plasma TV. Stay with name brands like Panasonic, Sumsang, Pioneer for the best service support,
I have used Panasonic and Pioneer service support and they are very good. Hope this helps and good luck what ever you decide on getting.

LCD TV anchoring/mounting question?
Q. I'm wondering if anyone here would be able to help with my current problem.
I'm a proud owner of a new Sony 46" LCD Tv; and with the amount of money we have spent, the wife is
insistent that we securely anchor the set to the wall behind the set.
To be clear, we do not want to wall mount, but to anchor to the wall with cables,etc.
The problem is that the TV does not ship with any mounting/anchoring hardware; and when "shopping"
for mounting hardware, we can only find wall mounting gear.
I have purchased the M6 screw/bolts that will go into the back of the set, but I need some sort of
flat washer that will have a "mounting loop" to which I can thread with 1/4" braided steel wire.
I have spent some time at my local Lowes store and could not find anything, but I don't know if what I'm looking for exists, or what to call it.
I was hoping that someone here could either provide me with a weblink; or a industry accepted name for this type of an item.
Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, January 29, 2006
By Steff "tech freak" (Green Bay, WI) - See all my reviews
This wall mount amazed me with the hardware included. Every screw that could be used with a TV out there was included. It was simple to install and does the job, why pay a lot more for a similar unit. It doesn't let you tilt the TV, but if you just look for a mount that allows you to hang your TV flat on the wall, this is the unit to buy. I used it for a 32" LCD flat panel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding product -- the manufacturer has thought it out carefully, January 30, 2007
By Mark Bookworth "MB" (Bermuda) - See all my reviews
This is a very solid steel mount which easily handles our 40" LCD TV. The packaging is outstanding (really) in that all the hardware you need is enclosed in carefully compartmentalized plastic bags.
After mounting, you can slide the TV left or right a few inches if required. It is also possible to "lock" the TV to the mount but it is a bit of a pain as you need to use a specially designed (included) allan key and the screw is so close to the wall that you can't turn the key through 360 degrees. It also tend to dust your knuckles a bit as you turn it. Finally, it becomes impossible to tilt the TV out enough to change the cables at the back once the lock screw is tightened.
Once mounted, I found the TV to be very close to the wall so if you have component cables with long plugs they may touch the wall when the TV is in place.
When installing mounts like these, pay very close attention to the instructions as you must make sure there is a sound mechanical connection with a stud or cement block. Drywall alone will not work as a mounting surface. Mounting to metal studs is particularly troublesome.
I installed it on cinder block and plaster without difficulty. Thankfully the force applied by the TV is mostly downward rather than outward in the case of a tube TV so you can feel quite comfortable that the thing will stay put as long as you mount it carefully. Use a level.
It is just a pleasure to use such a well designed and carefully thought out product.
