Hi All,

I am currently looking for a nice HDTV preferrably greater than 40". I had my mind set on the Olevia 747i from TigerDirect but it has since been out of stock. Are there any other recommendations? I want to get the best picture possible to go with my HD programming. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I hope you are aware that there is no TV programming at 1080p nor is there any planned for the next few years.

Do a quick search (of Hot Deals) and you should find that Amazon has the 46" Samsung in your price range, which is a very good set. Fry's also regularly has 1080p sets for under $1500. I'd pass on the Olevia when you can get a higher-quality set in your price range.

And Bozo's right, programming probably won't be in 1080p...but Blu-ray is, and if you hook your computer up to the TV it'll work in 1080p if your graphics card can handle it.

The sale price level of 46" 1080p 60Hz HDTV has dropped to $1500 or lower for top brands.

 

For those who want to watch fast action in a smoother picture with 120Hz, add a extra few hundred.

I just pulled th trigger on a 46" Samsung from Fry's for $1,699 About $200 over budget, but I think it is well worth it. Thank you all for your suggestions especially you monkeydishwasher. Fry's got some business from me because of you! here's the thread Samsung 46"

The Samsung LNT4081F is a 40" LCD 1080p that is available for around $1500. The special thing about it is that it has an LED backlight. A review on Amazon says:
"Samsung's highest-end 81 series of LCD televisions are the very first to incorporate a backlight made of hundreds of LEDs instead of the usual fluorescent tubes. The many benefits are immediately visible in its amazing contrast and color quality that finally matches that of plasma screens. Many reviews all agreed this is the best LCD they've seen. The best blacks of any LCD TV"

Samsung also makes a 46" LED LCD.
