I do agree fishpatrol, some lower end brands do offer a budget minded consumer great options. But most of the time the ago old saying of you pay for what you get still aplies. Take this quick example of the Norcent I mentioned in the article and the cheapest Samsung in the same size range.
You will find after the link is a comparison between the two. The Samsung offers consumers a comb filter for better RF signals, stereo sound, VGA input, and a base that can double as a wall mount. All this for $143 more. Plus, I could put up a good argument that the Samsung warrenty would be better supported although they both offer a 1 year on parts and labor.
Sure, there are some great buys out there if someone is just a basic panel. But if you do want the options you mentioned like more inputs, better picture through a more effecient image processor, and higher quality control. Buy the name brands.
