how good is the Sceptre 50" TV's compared to other brand names

I don't know about the 50" but if it is as good as the 32" I bought I would buy it. I am considering getting a larger screen and will definitely look at Sceptre's first.

I don't know about the 50", I have the 32", but it's been a good basic TV. Lots of input options, 3 HDMI, s-video, RGB, USB, the picture quality is good and excellent price point for a 1080P. My only complaint is the sound, not much amplification, it definitely needs help.

Speakers are not good at all very bad and my tv broke in a year if not less the price was atractive but wish I had gotten a brand name instead

Thanks for the reply. I went with the T260HD which was $50 less. When I get the TV I will post how I like it.

My subjective opinion is based on a pretty simple observation. I've looked at and compared both sets at Sears and at Best Buy and the Samsung had the best picture quality by far. In fact at as little as 5 feet away I had a difficult time seeing any difference between the model in question and several other 1080p models hanging next to it. I know a lot depends upon the quality of video feed the stores are using for the demo models on display. This is only my opinion and I know that can vary greatly for the person to person. So, take it for what its worth. Hopefully others can add their observations to the discussion.

I love my sceptre. The screen is Just as good as any other. The only thing it lacks is a great sound. The speakers are ok but not great i have mine hooked up to a external surround sound 7.2 so it makes no difference. For the money you cant beat it

The HX800 is an awesome set. You'll get HD on a Vizio and other cheaper brands, but it's not going to be HQ... I was ok with Samsung, Magnavox, and Sharp HDTVs until I got used to watching this set.

the 50" TCL I purchased has been really good. *knocks on wood* there haven't been any issues with it.

I would say Vizio is a more highly respected brand. My brother ha a 32" lcd Vizio and I have the 32" led Coby. The picture on both is great, but the sound on the Vizio is WAY better than my Coby. That said, there is usually a significant difference in price, so depending on the intended usage (my Coby is a secondary TV), you might be just fine with it. If you are an avid TV/movie watcher, and this TV will be your primary one, I would suggest going with a Vizio TV rather than a Coby one.

I bought this TV for my mother, and I left the operating manual (which includes the warranty info) with her. So yesterday, I e-mailed Sceptre's USA office for the warranty details on this item. This was their not-very-detailed reply of today: Dear Customer, One year parts / labor. Best Regards, Sceptre's Technical Support Group I had been considering a similar TV from a local store that was nearly $300. When I saw Amazon's $259 price for the Sceptre 39" TV, I was unsure how a TV would hold up throughout UPS package transit, but I decided to give it a try. At checkout, I was offered a third-party, three-year warranty (which offers in-home service on 39" TVs) for under $21. I bought this Square Trade warranty, which also had good reviews. Packaging protected the TV very well, and there was no transit damage.

Thanks. Sadly Amazon gets finer details wrong some of the time. I posted this same question on the gold box page and was directed to www.sonystyle.com. The 504 TV is a 720p just like the L5000. It costs less everywhere you can find it listed. The contrast ratio is listed as 8,000:1 as compared to 13,000:1 for the L5000. Also, the MSRP for the 504 is $399... so I fail to see how it is a "doorbuster" at $379. The 32L5000's MSRP is $449. It was on sale less than a month ago for $399. Value wise $50 off is $50 off. I'm just going to wait for the 32L5000 to be $399 again.

Go for Samsung UN50H6350 50-Inch 1080p... Its a way better than plasma, also you will save on electricity bill. Plasma consume more electricity

It's not the Panasonic, it's the Samsung. Many people go out and buy these LCD's with 120 refresh rates only to find themselves with the same thing you are talking about a nearly "too clear" or "soap opera" looking picture. Go out and read the reviews for the 120 refresh sets. Many people find themselves preferring a little extra judder from the 60 refresh than the picture being almost too realistic as you stated; others say it's worth the trade off, it all personal perference. I know for sure the Samsung LCD 600 series are 120 refresh for sure. Being you feed it such a nice clean 1080P signal with the panny and you get the result. Bottom line is that effect is not from your DVD player.

Just for the record, I have the Samsung A550 40 inch and it has a matt screen and not a shiny screen as mentioned above. I am very satisfied with it, but it could be that the Sony is just as good. Our older TV is a Samsung and that and the good reviews influenced us. So far, we are happy with it, great picture. I have the sound hooked up to my sound system and that is great also.

The picture clarity and "crisp-ness" of the Samsung is much better than the Sharp brand regardless of size. If you go to a store where you can look at the TVs in person you will see that immediately Samsung has the clearest picture by far. I always go to a store before buying a TV and then order them on Amazon for the better price.

I have been doing lot of research on LCD TVs and my observation is LN52B750 is best with internet, 240Hz and 2ms response time for almost same price as the other models. Red TOC some times distract your view compared to the Gray TOC in B750.Fry's in sunnyvale,CA has the B750 model for just $1704 until July 16th.

I have a 32 in Element hdtv, lcd. Picture is good. I bought the 50 in for our larger living room and the quality is way better than our 32. clarity is sharp, three windows in the room do not effect glare. Great tv...
