Wife's TV went out. Looking for a 42 in or bigger LCD or Plasma. Any ideals what brand you would recommended.
don’t go with plasma; lcd’s are the best
I don’t know which one you should get but buy several before they’re outlawed!!!!
We have the Samsung LCD LED and love it. It’s t-h-i-n!
Vizio is probably the best price.
I recommend a 15 inch flat screen. Mrs. Genoa and I have ours hidden away in the library on a bookshelf. We watch it only on rare occasions. We’re readers, and we love avoiding the trash that’s dished out even on the best of channels.
Love my 47 Vizio and great price.
I have a “47 Vizio. $1100 at Wally World. I love it.
Plasmas don’t have a very good reputation. They don’t last very long and they cost quite a bit to run.
LCDs are not quite as crystal clear.
Check out some of the discussion/comparison sites and previous purchaser comments.

I bought a VIZIO 32” LCD in the spring of 2008. I am very pleased with it. VIZIO has a good reputation.
Sweet!
Sharp LCD.
I have one and I love it.
I agree Samsung is the best
Sony would be my 2nd choice although I would prefer Samsung.
I have a Samsung in my daughters room - excellent picture and TV overall.
My oldest son bought a Sony Bravia - also really great TV.
Next son has a Polaroid - although nice picture and color, would have preferred 2 first posted.
Have an RCA in the living room - hate it! Color is not as crisp and bright as the other TV’s.
That’s my take!
Spend the $30 or so and go to Consumer Reports and look there.
Are projection TV’s worth looking at? Your screen could be as big as your whole wall.
Mitsubishi’s line of 60” + DLP’s 1080P HDTVs are absolutely wonderful (and affordable)! Check them out if you’re not completely set on LCD/Plasma.
I was always a Sony fan until I purchased a Samsung. I own a 34” and a 60” Sony as well as a 52”, 32” and 22” Samsung (I know I have too many TV’s). The picture on my 720p Samsung is crisper than the one on my 1080i Sony and the Samsung cost a lot less. I believe the cost and performance of the Samsung is far and above that of the Sony.
