Hmm.. Sony's having a promo right now. Might wanna check your nearest SonyStyle.

Also, Phillips and LG TVs fall within your price range. Doesnt matter abt the models as the only thing you really need to care abt is 1080p FULL HD resolution AND good picture quality. HDMI outputs could be a factor too. At least 2 is needed.

All those 100Hz, 200Hz, 600Hz motion enhancer are not important. Personally, I think it's annoying

The pq is execellent when pair with bd disc compare with my the other brand, i still think sharp is better, anyway there is no such best lcd that u can find, the best lcd tv is your own instinct which u think best n dont made yourself confuse by review. Go n test by yourself n if u think the one suite u best, n that is the best. Everything have its pro n cons n if u want both than its hard to find. Just like buying a car merc or bmw best.

From the 3 choices, I would go for Sharp. Not overly rich colour with very decent black levels.

If it is truly LED TV at that price range, I will surely get 2 units 55" for my pad w/o second thought.
