For videophiles, when you're looking at the sub $1K panels, very few LCD panels have good enough black levels, and to me, no, it's not worth the $$$ I could save (in most cases). The contrast ratios might be listed as same but I think that pretty much anyone can pick out the differences between a good panel and a bad one.

However, once you get past a certain price point (around $1750 or so, I think), the lesser names (Westinghouse, Syntax) can roll with the big boys (Sharp, Samsung, Sony) or at least come close enough to make price more important.

For me personally though, I think overall lack of inputs in the bargain brands is usually what kills the deal.
