We own the LG 42" and love it. Great display and easy to manipulate controls. We also purchased the wifi USB that plugs into the slot on the tv. It connects to our home network easily and we stream movies from both the internet and our computers.

This is LG I bought 2011, I have been very happy with it. But all 3 brands are good. Best bet would be go to best buy look at them side by side, then go to amazon open a store card and use the value pay options. That's how I made my decision.

I have been happy with my LG. I think Samsung is a great option when on sale. The Sony's have seem to have lost their technology edge and are a little overpriced, but worth it if you find them on sale.

I feel like Sony is more better than samsung compared to picture quality and sound. So I would prefer Sony. Please check the review on Cnet

I don't see where that tv says it's 3D capable. So probably not. http://www.dicksmith.com.au/tvs/sony-50-127cm-full-high-definition-smart-led-tv-kdl50w700b-dsau-ge4018 Says no 3D, sorry.

I would say yes. I was in the exact same position just a short month ago and before that 2 years ago. My 1st purchase of an LCD was between a 37" and a 40". I went with the 40 and was very happy I did. When our 40" went into the bedroom and we were looking for a TV room replacement it was between the 46" and the 52". So we were looking at 6 more inches or a whole foot. You may not initially notice a big difference in the store because there are so many sets side by side, but when you get it home you'll really see how nice a large screen looks. (if you have the space) Now that we have a 52" I feel like a 60" would be just fine at my home. I ended up with a Samsung LN52A630. Its a very nice set with the 120HZ process rate and I got a very good deal on it. If I had not gotten a deal on the set and had to choose between a 46" with the 120HZ and a 52" without it,,, I'd go with the 52". I think you'll really like seeing a BIG impressive picture. Good luck.

Thank you for in INFO.I think the best thing to do it's go into the store and compare it side by sideMy friend also told me to go with an LG. but as of now I'm still debating,

I have the LNT5265F and I love it love it love it! A friend has a Pana Plasma. I don't think Plasma has come far enough yet. Plasma has the potential to be better than LCD, but not yet. Go with the Samsung. I have 3 Samsungs 52", and 2 40" and they are all great.

I own the panasonic 54 inch vt25 but just from looking at the store's display models, the sony is a superior tv. It displays less cross-talk, deeper blacks, and there is (to me) by far more pop in the 3d. what bothered me most about the samsung led 3dtvs is how the image feels very "wet" or extremely glossy when viewing 3d content. I didnt get that effect when viewing the sony led. Thats my two cents. cnet reviewed the tv and compares it to the sammy and panny in a brief article herehttp://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20009377-1.html?tag=hotTopicsBody.1

Thanks for the review Robert! Good tip about the 3 series of Samsung TV's against the older 2 versions. I was all set to buy an older model ending in 2, the 4272 to be exact, but now I think I'll wait.......

Hey Oleg, I was just wondering if you might give me/us an update on the TV. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same model/size as the one you bought and just wanted to know how satisfied you are with your purchase. Also was wondering how well the 3D works, if you would be so kind. Thank You!

You may have already decided by now, but I will give you my opinion anyway. I bought the Sony a couple of weeks and am very happy with it. The deal breaker for me was that the Samsung has a shiny, reflective screen, which is very unusual for an LCD. Since my room has many windows, I went with the Sony.

Well depending on ebay you really want it for would make the choice. I own this lg pa77u and love it. Not 1080p bit close enough and super bright and led so last forever. Lg does make an upgraded model starts with an 85 or something it does full 1080p but no 3d and it's double the price. Lg led orojectors are super compact Erich is really nice but the way technology is going all tvs and projectors are gonna be the 4k soon so if you have the funds I'd find a led 4k projector but if not and on a budget the lg pa77u is the answer. Is awesome just read the reviews. On this particular item they don't lie. Hope that helps Well depending on ebay you really want it for would make the choice. I own this lg pa77u and love it.

Just for clarity sake, Techno Newbie quotes CNET for his Panasonic being highly rated but then calls Samsung "low line". Just to point out that CNET also named Samsung 32A450 as the best 32 inch LCD TV. If you're going to use a source to back up your opinion, don't neglect the same source when it doesn't agree with you.

Consumer Reports says that the Samsung LN46A550 is the best LCD out there. Beating the Sony by a large margin. I too thought the the Sony would have been best until I looked at Consumer Reports. Hope this helps!!

hi, i have a similar size room, tried 26, 32 , and 37 inch. 32 is best. one thing not talked about often is, there's also a minimum viewing distance for these tvs, esp. 720p. any closer, you see the pixels, any noise in the image, etc. with a hq tv like samsung, sony, sharp, my experiments indicate for a 32" around 5 feet is about as close as i'd want to go. anything else, i'd have to go to 1080p (the sharp 32" aquos 1080p model is great up to 3 feet, but more $$). btw, right now you can pick up a samsung LN-T3242H at circuit city for $720 if you're a AAA member (you need to go to www.aaa.com/circuitcity to get a coupon code). this model is a level down from the 3253H but i picked one up yesterday and so far it seems pretty good to me. you can read about both models on amazon. good luck.

My suggestion is ditch the Sony and get with the new age and get a flat panel Samsung! Night and day, let go of your dinosaur tv and get a new one!

I agree with Justin Campbell. Cover your investment, especially that is was an open box item. I also love my LG Smart TV with 3D. The picture is outstanding.

I've seen the 47" at Frye's (in California), it looks nice. I want the 5500 too. Just can't decide on 42" or 47". The LG matt screen finish helps with daytime glare from a window. Samsungs are too shinny.
