In Reply to: Which panel plays good standard definition posted by Vic D on December 18, 2007 at 18:11:42:
I found that 20"-26" LCD TV's by Sharp, Philips were the least objectionable for low rez (analog) cable. HD and DVDs are outstanding. Larger screens make evident any shortcomings, (especially their own), although hi-def will finally allow these to shine.I used vintage Star Trek episode cable broadcasts as a reference for three dimentionality, color correctness, sharpness, etc. A good set will NOT seem fuzzy, and Spock's color has a slight pallor (absence of hemoglobin?).
Noticed picture quality issues for the same model on lower priceded offerings. It took five 26" Sharps before I was satisfied with one that got it all together -- tuner quality, picture sharpness and color balance, image speed, built in DVD good. Returned LCD TVs from Vizio, Olevia, Philips (kept one), Sharp (kept one). Notice the ascending price point? All sets used some adjustment.
The 32" Sony Bravia is the largest screen LCD that is comparitively excellent store to store -- likely worth the price and worth trying out? Sonys seem set up right from the factory.
(The 50" Philips plasma at Walmart has something special about it, for the price.)
If it doesn't look good it is likely a compromised: source, design, internal components, cabling.
Happy shopping!
