In Reply to: Just bought our first wide-screen LCD TV--and we hate it posted by bigi on September 1, 2005 at 02:46:04:
As has been mentioned many of the digital TVs look worse than normal TVs when viewing broadcast and regular cable.In addition many make digital "noise" even when viwing DVDs and HD programming.
I held off a long time on buying a big TV because of these problems and recently bought a Sony 55" LCD rear projector because it was the first I'd seen that did away with the digital nastiness and gave a smooth, noise free picture with DVDs. It replaced a 36" Sony Wega flat-screen tube TV. The newer Sony LCD TVs are very good and somewhat better than my father's new Panasonic LCD rear projector which shows more noise than the Sony, even on DVDs and HD.
Much depends also on the way the TV is setup. Adjusting TVs properly is a big subject and one too complicated to get into here.

We bought a new Sony 60" LCD TV in July. It has a fantastic picture. The best images are HD, but analog is very acceptable. The Sony image is as good as our other two 30" HDTV's with CRT. The signal quality you feed to any HDTV is critical. There are tons of good sites to read up on this. I have a post further down with many listed. In fact the newest LCD TV's are going head to head with plasma. No burn in with LCD. It all comes down to how well you do your reasearch and what your budget is. Good luck! John
