Looking for help with buying a new LCD TV

Hey guys,

I am in the market for a new TV. It comes down to two options for me based on what I can afford and what is practical for my place. I don't know much about TVs, but based on my research it came down to two best options. It's a tie between Sony Bravia 40" 1080p LCD HDTV and Sharp Aquos 40" 1080p LCD HDTV. The price is pretty much the same, and I hear that both of these are very good TVs.

In terms of picture quality and durability and other special features that I don't know about, which one would you recommend?

Thanks for your help in advance!

I would go with Sharp (although my TV is Samsung).

Go with the Sharp

I'd also go with the Sharp. But I'm biased against Sony.

Sharp

and buYing

I have a Sharp Aquos and I love it.

So does Vince (Invasionmix)

Well, the answer is pretty clear, Sharp it is! Thanks guys for the suggestions on TV and spelling lol

Sasha, what are the model numbers?

There is no way those two TV's should be the same price, as Sony's are always more expensive for the size, and quality.

I hate the Sony the company, but god be damned they make some incredible looking TV's.

my parents have 3 Samsung's back at home, they're very happy with them but we used to have Sharp back in the day and they last for years!

I would go Sony, better deal and TV.

another vote for Sharp!

After doing the comparison, the Sony is just a bit better IMO.

In the end, I would go to the store, actually look at them, and see which one you like better. Also, make sure to use the actual remotes, and menu's, since you will be living with the TV for a long time. There isn't a whole lot of diff, so choose the one you like USING the best.

I am not a huge fan of the Sharpe interfaces, menus, and so. I don't have too much experience with newer Sony's. I just drool over them in the store.

personally i am a fan of sony and samsung for lcd tvs but sharp does make really good ones as well.

I'm in the same boat here kinda....

looking to get a new TV, wanting to spend around $1000, & would like it to be around 32".....

anyone has any suggestions what I should be looking at???

Edit: not to concerned about it being 1080 over 720, as I'm only going to be using it to watch TV occasionally, not into gaming or bluray so much. Also want it to be a brand name, not some no name shyteee

I have a Sharp Aquos and it's great!

I also had a Sony Bravia a couple years ago and it was ok, although I did need to get the first replaced because it had issues...

I have a samsung myself but if I did not get that, I would have bought the sharp.

Wow Sharp is definitely dominating here.

I think I will go to the store and compare the two in terms of the look, remote, menu, etc...how Bobby suggested. For now, it definitely seems like a sharp. One of the things that was attracting me to SONY was the deal that they had for just over a grand, where you could also get a link module DVD player...but I wonder if I could buy that separately even if I go with Sharp. Can these two brands work together?

the DVD player looks very slick!

Just go to Costco. You don't like it within 3 months? They'll give you your money back. No hassles.

Sony and Samsung used to make their panels in the same factory, but Sony now teamed up with Sharp because they took heat for teaming up with a Koream manufacturer (samsung).

Costco actually gets special models of a lot of electronics, that are only distributed in their stores. Which makes it very hard to shop around, and impossible to price match.

I would check them out for sure, they have great quality products.
