New LCD TV Time!

CreatedMind07 · 06-02-2009, 10:28 PM

Well the wife has blessed me with the choice of buying a new LCD TV for the living room! So today I did some measuring and it turns out a 42inc would be the perfect size for our living room. So I went looking at the 42inc LCD's that newegg has for less than a grand. So I found two brands that I think are pretty good. But I was wanting someone who knows TVs to give me a in-put or show me a really good 42inc TV that's less than a grand.

So without waiting anymore here's the two I picked.

SHARP AQUOS 42" 16:9 6ms 1080p LCD HDTV LC-42D65U
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16889101173

And the

LG 42" 1080p 120hz LCD HDTV w/ Super Slim 1.8" - 42LGX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16889005050

Thanks to anyone who helps! I'll rep you for taking the time!

id get the sharp just because its more symmetrical (doesnt have the bulky bottom speaker bar)

I'd go with the LG. That is pure sex!

Too bad I already bought a TV February.

It's a 40" Samsung 1080p, I got for $900. Its awesome, but now these slim TVs are coming out. >_<

Well I'm going for the best TV.. Not the best looking. I like the LG but I'm not a big fan of red...

The LG has better specs. Not by much. But it has a better response time, is a bit brighter, little better viewing angle.

you can also tell what's better by this

sharp: Original Price: $1,299.99
lg: Original Price: $2,399.99

there is a reason for that.

Well it's the Scarlet edition, so it was overpriced to begin with.

I'm just guessing they're selling them for cheap because the TV is nearly a year old and it's time for this year's model.

I was looking around and I couldn't find much negative about the LCD.

I would get the LG. It has a 120 Hz refresh rate, whereas I believe the Sharp has a 60 Hz refresh rate.

There are many reviewers over the internet that question whether or not this actually makes a difference, but I definitely think it does. I have had the pleasure of watching a 120 Hz LCD and the image is muuch crisper during fast motion parts.

(plus I kinda like the red back, even though it will get dusty and no one will see it :P)
