Definitely second the Sharp recommendation for LCD’s. They have the fastest response time and superb pictures. The Sony’s are nice, just very expensive with no imprvement over the Sharps. The Samsungs are also excellent, but I hate the reflective screen. That’s also one of my objections to Plasma sets. One cautionary note, get one with the last 2 numeric digits 64 or higher. The Sharps also have the benefit that they are extremely flat anf look terrific when hung on the wall.

It’s funny, Sharp tube TV’s used to be crap, and I wouldn’t have taken one a few years back if you gave me it to me, but for some reason their LCD’s are superb.
