I was comparing Samsung's 6 Series with the rest of the models... picture quality and color was so much better. Even if to compare with the 5 series model, there's so much difference in picture quality.

The Full HD Samsung 42" 6 Series was fantastic... except the price. 8k. My gosh. The 5 series 42" cost only half of it. Saw it at Denki the other day.

I can't really tell you which LCD suites you better, you've got to see it for yourself to actually like it. Some people has specific brands in mind, so despite how good other LCD TVs are compared to the brand they have in mind, they would still go for the brand instead, like Sony.

As for the price ranges, you can see that there's some LCD TVs that range around RM2k+. Most of the are, of course, labeled as HD ready only. Which means they only display a lower resolution compared to the ones labeled Full HD. If you're planning to get a 40 inch or a 42 inch, it's recommended that you get the ones with Full HD instead. Even the smaller ones, contrary to popular belief that it doesn't make a difference if your screen size is smaller that you wouldn't notice any difference, is incorrect. If you can afford one with Full HD, then take the Full HD instead of the HD ready TV.

Brand wise, there's a lot to choose from. The popular brands in this forum are Sony, Samsung and Panasonic (mostly Plasma TVs). They have the most choices to choose from compared to the other brands. Try getting the middle ranges series. For eg. Samsung has 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 series TVs. The high end ones are the 6,7 and 9. They'll cost you a bomb but they're definitely the cream of the cream. Series 4 and 5 are the ones in the mid-range, which is decent enough for the money you're paying.

Try going to their respective official sites and read more about their LCD TVs. You'll generally get a better understanding and you'll the know advantage of one brand over the other.
