I would get something that is future proof. Maybe 3D, but make sure it has the latest ports, I would definitely go OLED if you can budget it, though beware they only go up to about 22". (e.g. Perfect for kitchen or bedroom)

Don't Follow Brands Blindly! | You Need to Check Specs! Most, if not all those companies produce a wide range of televisions from the cheap cr@p -to- ultra expensive bleeding edge. There's even the rebranded televisions (same television; different name). F@#K SONY! They had premium televisions for a premium price, but now they have the same or lesser televisions as others for premium price.

I'd say as with most things in life, you get what you pay for, what I would usually do before purchasing any major electrical appliance is set my budget. Then I would find a whole bunch of units which are in the price range I was looking for, then I would research, look at online reviews see what others thought of it. This generally helps make a decision. Also try and avoid a quick decision, don't go for the first one you look at because it looks good! Sleep on it, it's probably a lot of money! I will say that the better tv's are the sonys, panasonics and Pioneers. Although they generally cost a little more.

Thumbs up, thanks man. Yeah, I was thinking Sony would be the way to go. What do you think about a Sony 3D TV? Waste of money?

I wouldn't get one just because I think 3D tv is a gimmick and will not catch on. It's far too expensive especially when at the moment there is very little 3D content to watch!

What about Sony TV in general though? Go for LED?

I agree with this apart from Pioneer. They are not so good. But Sony is brilliant.

No issues with our 42" Panasonic Viera HDTV. It's a plasma, though, not LCD or LED. Didn't see the point to paying three times more.

TV, meaning Televison well depending on what your looking for, it depends. What is your price range, what price do you want to pay. In my opinon you want a TV that is going to be the new thing for a least a split second. So why not get one of those new 3DTV's so you can have the new thing for awhile until people start walking out of you tv. But I would always reccomend Sony, LG, and Samsung. Not necessarily only those brands but those are my reccomendation. Always go with the most you can afford no more no less, and remember you get what you paid for....Unless its on sale!

Have you gone to this website: Top ten Reviews. The website does put it to the test and they rate it so that you can get what your money is worth. I used it a lot to help me to get a good bargin.

Sony is the best and I think the same about Pioneer, they are not so good. Sony is still one of the best.
