What is the best HDTV to buy?
Sony and LG are good, but I think you should also consider Samsung. I’ve been very happy with my Samsung 25 inch widescreen. My son in law, who is something of a video geek, said Samsung is about the best on the market right now. He just bought a 46 inch Samsung himself. Do I think it really matters all THAT much? No, not really. I suspect if you buy a reasonably good brand, and you shop around for features and price, you’ll likely get a TV you are happy with. But all of the manufacturers let a lemon slip through the quality control now and then. So you always have some risk of not getting what you want. Not a lot of risk, but some.
