thanks to anyone who can help]]>Nov 26th 2008 7:40PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/
There aren't very many lcd or plasma panel manufacturers; most brands just buy panels from one of the manufacturer's and in there own factory, handle the other stuff ie: input/outputs, internal speakers, physical housing.

Cheaper brands will mostly have fewer available inputs, uglier physical housing for the panel, lower contrast panels, weaker speakers. But chances are decent that a cheaper brand, and a big name brand, will have panels from the exact same factory.

*Example, Samsung makes lcd panels and supplies many other companies, including Sony (heard from my friend who is an Electrical Engineer and works for sony), yet Samsung TVs are usually less expensive than Sony's. So it's not too far fetched that you can get a lesser known brand with the panel exactly the same as a big brand.

Shop by specs, not by name; read customer reviews and critic reviews is possible.

I also worked retail before, and the profit margin on some of the bigger brands is ridiculous, simply because they are well known brands, not because the product does anything special.]]>Nov 26th 2008 8:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/For gaming, the response time is fast, and for TV watching, it's great. Football is about all I watch, and the picture quality is excellent. Keep in mind that my HD cable is only the major networks, and I live in a college dorm, so the cable is split to hell and back. I've never had a signal quality above the "Bad" rating, but it still looks superb. I would highly recommend the Dynex, in other words. ]]>Nov 27th 2008 12:48AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/
Also the panel is only part of the equation, a great panel does not compensate for terrible video processing. ]]>Nov 27th 2008 1:15AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/Nov 26th 2008 10:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/26/black-friday-2008-roundup-hd-deals/Dec 4th 2008 7:07PM
