Samsung LN-T4681F 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with LED Backlight
Best LCD I’ve seen to date, bar none. I did my homework for quite sometime and found the 81F series to be a hidden gem. This being the 2007 LED backlit series, it was $1,000 cheaper than the 2008 Samsung LN46A950 (120Hz). Thankfully, I got mine in time: the 2009 Luxia series Samsungs LNXXB8000 (240Hz), LNXXB7000 and LNXXB6000 do not have local LED dimming! What’s the point of having an LED backlight? Grab your A950 and 81F series while you can.
Only one notable con: sound quality. Certainly not a deal breaker, but you’ll definitely not want to depend on the internal speakers.
Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 46SV670U 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with LED Backlight and ClearScan 240, Black
I purchased a new Regza in June 2009. Three months later the picture has vertical blue lines and when red is displayed, I get vertical red lines running from top to bottom. They fade in and out when each color is displayed on the screen. Very distracting for an expensive TV. I called Toshiba and they didn’t seem to care. I looked on you tube and found others that have the same problems.
Would I buy another Toshiba Regza ? Hell no.
Now, I have to find a repair center and haul it over there. Lucky me.
I think I’ll try Samsung LED next. No more LCD’s
If you own a Regza now, better hope is doesn’t start the vertical line crap.
