[QUOTE="zicoz, post: 345576, member: 24585"] It's also hard to see the quality of the TV in a shop due to it often beeing a large room with "different" lighting then a livingroom, and also the shops normally just throws the screens from the box up on the wall without optimizing the settings. Atleast that's the situation in Norway, they might be better in USA tough. My progress for buying a new TV is this: 1. Think about what the lighting situation in the room is. LCDs are usually better for bright rooms with alot of windows. 2. Read magazines and online-magazines where they are reviewd to see what they say. 3. Read forums such as Avsforum.com to see what the videophile man in the street sais 4. Then go to the shop with a list of 2-3 models and see what you can get the best prize for and how you like their design in real life. I don't feel comfortable making any suggestions because you might have different model names on the same TV over there , but making a decision based on how the pictures looks in the store alone might not be the best idea. And also don't just look at the 720p/1080p marks, a 720p can have a better picture then a 1080p screen especially in the lower price ranges. But start out with the magazines, there are probably alot of them with pre-xmas buyers guides out there. [/QUOTE]
