The Best LCD Televisions
The short story is that Samsung has emerged as the quality leader. The other part of the story is that LCD is winning the market share over plasma. Many consumer reviews heavily favor Samsung. Here is how I came to the same conclusion.
Facial Recognition
Faces have many subtle changes in color. They are also a constant focal point for television viewing. When we tested models, we put them side by side and compared the faces. The better television sets would make the faces look more natural with less unreal shading. Samsung was the best, but Sony was very close to Samsung quality. In fact, it was sometimes hard to tell which one was better. Other brands, such as Vizio and Phillips, were obviously not as good.
Commercial and Outdoor LCD Televisions
The ultimate LCD television quality is that of the commercial and outdoor models.
Outdoor and commercial displays have much brighter colors and higher contrast ratios. They can withstand higher heat and are made to run 24/7. The components are a higher grade. They have more features. For example, the average LCD television will only have a DVD player hooked up to it and that means it only needs RCA ports. However, commercial and outdoor models have PC inputs, serial ports, RS-232 (sometimes), Legacy and VGA inputs as well as the traditional RCA and cable inputs. PC inputs are "huge"!! It means you can use your display like a computer monitor. You can easily download movies, search the internet, and get USB television (instead of cable). The other thing I like is to set up my screensaver and be able to see beautiful landscapes. Of course, this only works with the commercial models.
Pricing
Like most anything it costs almost twice as much to build real quality. As you might have guessed, you can expect to pay about twice as much money for a commercial grade or outdoor LCD television.
What to Expect
Most people plan on spending around a thousand dollars for a new LCD television. You can save quite a bit by going with a brand like Vizio. Vizio has a big share of the lower end market while Samsung and Sony dominate the upper market. The "sweet spot" (most screen for the money) is the forty two inch size.
If you have the bucks, consider a commercial grade or outdoor display. They will last longer, but more importantly, allow you to network and communicate to them with a computer. Wouldn't it be nice to have an outdoor television for the back patio?
