Hi everyone.

I am in the market to purchase a LCD TV that is under $1000. Can you guys give me some recommendations. Here are some of the requirements.

Under $1000
42 inch or bigger
1080p
120Hz (Is this important?)

It really depends on where you live, what major stores you're at, and what features you want.

You've provided practically none to go on.

Example:

I live in a large metropolitan area. I have 6 Fry's Electronics stores within 30 minutes.

I just bought an "open box" Samsung LN46B550 (46" Series 5)

46"
60Hz
2 HDMI
1 component/compositie

$697.00 plus tax.

It's our second TV, so I didn't need features. Our primary TV is the 46" Series 6, which is 120Hz and has 4 HDMI and 3 component, as well as internet access. Right now this TV is available open box for right around $999.00.

If I lived in Albuquerque, I probably wouldn't have the selection.

$1000.00 is a pretty good budget for 42", but in the 46" range you're looking at a third tier brand.

Right now (2/1/2010) Costco has the 46" Sceptre 120Hz, 4 HDMI (3rd tier brand) for $699.00 with free shipping. Everything else is $1199.00 or above.

I live in Southeast Michigan (Detroit Area). The features I am looking for isn't that much. I will be using if for watching movies on my Blue Ray player, playing my Wii, and watching sports. I will be wall mounting it. I just want the best looking picture that this price range can buy. Thank you

Well, that doesn't make it any easier to recommend. As economically depressed as the Detroit area is, I'm sure that there are stores willing to deal.

If you have nothing to compare it to, a third tier TV will probably suit you just fine. However, put them side by side and you can tell the difference.

Based on what you have described as your needs, the Sceptre should be a good match for you.

What you guys think about VIZIO SV470M 47" LCD TV?

IMHO, Vizio is just another "third tier" TV.

There's little difference between Vizio, Olevia, Sceptre, Insignia, Westinghouse, etc.

There's a big difference between a third tier and first or second tier TV.

Vizio is an "OK" TV. Nothing special.

If you're on the lookout for a new television, you must do some research by reading the reviews especially the ones coming from the experts and compare LCD TV ratings of various brands. That way, you are assured that you will be getting the best value for your purchase. Just my 2 cents.

i had a look on some websites at reviews and they only had sony,panasonic and samsung.Im in australia and samsung,sony & panasonic are very expensive.been trying to find a new lcd tv myself for under $1000 and from what ive seen the cheaper ones have bad picture quality(you can litrally see every little pixel).if you want the best picture quality you might need to spend a bit more.In the long term it might be worth it.

custom built gaming pc from early 2010,ps2 with 15 games all original,ps3 500gbs with 5 games all original,yamaha amp and 5.1channel surround sound speakers,46inch sony lcd smart tv.
