I dontknow what to really tell you orik.
Im buying another tv this time home. I have had a plethora of tvs over the last 4 years. And I still have some, moved to other rooms to replace old decrepid tvs, others I have returned due to issues.
The best tvs I have found for bang for the buck with the quality are believe it or not samsung.
All my tvs have built in plug ins for laptop or computer use. They work amazingly well all said and done. Just make sure you confirm and get them to show you on a display model how it does.. some of them are really finicky and too overly complicated for what they need to be. ie some models of Sony.
My big tv for my living room had been for the last few years between 46-60 inch. Widescreen models.
My brother somehow ended up with the tv I bought for the living room when we split our house and I bought him out. Im still trying to figure that one out. But in the interest of it was my brother and blood...
So we currently have an all the bells and whistles PVR (i dont have a clue how to work it) with a 32inch 1080p High Def samsung LCD tv as our living room tv. Thats not going to keep me happy. That tv is my bedroom tv.
Im looking to buy a full surround with wireless (I hate wires running along the walls and along the mouldings of my floors. Especially since I have just installed new mouldings) with a 60 inch widescreen 1080p LCD. Reason is even though plasmas have incredible black backgrounds, they do have a history of issues.. and you can repair LCD's while plasmas you cant repair for under the cost of a new tv. Im not ready to drop the coin for a 3d tv yet until they are more proven. Probably going to buy it from costco due to their warranties.
LG tv's I have had 3 over the past 8 years. All are still going strong! Albeit not in my household. One was a 47.5 rear projection, and the darn thing is still amazing. It has had beer bottles lobbed at it whenever the canucks lost. The clarity however I would call so so.
I dont like sony tvs. DO NOT. Nothing but problems with every single one. Also hate their laptops. Im sticking with my Mac's from now on. That being said, I like toshiba laptops, have had 4. I dont like the tvs however, both of the ones I had I returned due to colour issues around the corners of the screens.
Edit: Darn it! Room service for beer has ended. Its only 2am here in Las Palmas! Bloody best western. Ah well.. fly at 11am.
