Hello everyone,
I'm sure you guys see a hundred posts like this a day, but maybe that's just an indication of how complex and difficult the TV industry has become. I'm in the market for a new TV and I think i've narrowed it down to a list of brands and model numbers but I'm really stuck comparing them all and unfortunately for me I do not have any options of going to a store to look at them because the only store left in business in this town selling electronics is Costco and they just don't have the selection.
So here is what I have in my amazon shopping cart, god forbid I accidentally use one click purchase and buy all of them...
Panasonic TH-42PZ85U (Plasma) - Looks nice but I'm not too keen on the near 600 watt power draw.
Toshiba Regza 42XV545U - Probably the number one choice, but priced a little higher than i'd like and I have had really terrible past experiences with toshiba displays and their customer serivce.
Sony Bravia KDL-42V4100 - Probably the safest bet here, but I was really looking to get into the 120hz market with this purchase.
Sharp Aquos LC42D85U - Looks good, however contrast ratio seems lower than comparable models and I worry about banding issues with these.
Please help? Thanks.
