Go to a store. First grab the remote and play around. see if the 'brightness' control can give you a real 'black' black, or is it just gray? Then look at the colors, ecpecially yellow (bring some DVD movies you like that have things you want to see to check stuff with) Try to see the TV's at a place with subdued lighting, not like Best Buy with way too bright lighting. Watch the edges of stuff at scenes with a huge black white contrast, for 'ringing' of the line where the white stops... Check for settings memory(s) How many inputs and does it have S-vid in? Get at least 4 inputs. How hard is it to navigate the menus? and do any have reviews? check at your local library for magazine tests. Good luck. (I love my XBR but the stupid remote has poor placement for a lot of the buttons, and it is not a 'learning' remote, it only can get other codes for a bunch of preset stuff, of course I don't OWN any of that crap...) So check 'em out and SEE which one turns YOU on!
