    So I'm going to retire the normal 21" TV and getting a new 32" LED TV with Full HD. I've done some research and narrowed down to these two: LG LE 5500 and Sony Bravia EX520 I just can't seem to decide between these two so I would appreciate your personal opinions on this!

      Mine is from the "Viera" series too. I don't even remember the price, model number, or type (LED, plasma, whatever) because I just don't watch TV, and this is for my parents who watch it. I have to tell that it is quite a nice TV though. The Samsung ones are quite good too. I recommend that you have the store assistant play the same video on two TVs (samsung and panasonic) side by side and decide which one would be better for you. Somehow, the brand LG is associated with the word "cheap" in my mind, and I'll never buy anything from them too. I'll add that I've always had good experiences buying samsung (phone, notebooks, ac, tv) and panasonic (ac, tv, sound system) products.

      I'll have to lookup Samsung I guess. Let me see what I come up with. :)

      Yeah that's often a tie breaker for sure but then some stores do deliberately turn up or turn down the TV settings to promote something I suppose.

      Wow you must have had quite a bad experience with LG.

          You can pay as much as you like for a TV but unfortunately that doesn't make the quality of the programmes better. :sigh:

            If you go with the Sony, don't take the foolish risk of connecting it to your computer in any way.

              While I agree that Sony are a blood sucking bunch of raving idiots, they do make excellent TVs, we are extremely happy with our 3yo Bravia.

                I don't know about in your neck of the woods, but here in sunny Oz I wouldn't touch LG with a bargepole. Cheaply made, feature rich but worthless crap. I know a number of people that have bought LG goods (DVD players in particular) that fail to work, over heat, just stop working etc. even the local electrical retailers tend to disparage their quality.

                  In my experience different people use different quality metrics - sometimes even complete opposites. Some people like crispness while other people call that "harsh", to some people contrast is everything but others think high contrast makes the picture look unnatural, etc. So I'd say you'd better go look at them yourself - our opinions are likely to be different from yours.

                    I have the 5700 (47in) LG and it’s a great TV, no complaints about it at all (I really like the netflix integration).


                    Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

                      You should hold out a little longer then get a 3D model. :-D

                      Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
