Sony Bravia or LG LCD TV? Which is better?

(Anonymous)

I'm trying to decide which LCD TV to get. I'm looking at the Sony Bravia 40in but I'm kinda stuck on the LG 42in. The picture seems better with the LG, but Sony is a more popular brand.

Any opinions?

Hi

Although Sony have been highly regarded for making high quality LCD TVs for some time, that doesn't mean another manufacturer can't come along and make a good quality television too.

LG have been making good progress with their LCD and plasma TVs recently, and have been getting some good reviews.

Therefore, I wouldn't choose a TV just based on the popularity of a brand. Some people just like to stick with what they know.

I would be more inclined to go with your instinct. If you prefer the picture of the LG, then that is the most important thing. Also, the reviews of the LG LCDs seem ok.

Is there anybody else out there with an LG LCD TV who wants to tell us what they think of it?

All the best.

I was watching both Sony and LG side by side in a showroom and I felt that frame rate and picture quality both were much better in this LG tv.

i'm running a plasma lg 42", and my bro is running sony and to be honest using it on ps3 online they both have great pics - hard to tell difference with em.

one main point for when ur in a showroom/store, when they get put out in the store its as it was when it came from manufacturer, so the brightness, contrast ratio etc is not touched. u can play with them later n make a 720p screen look as good as a 1080p screen.

in all the tvs i sell at work i prob would go with the LG to be fair.

be smart, tell the assistant u want to see it playing a bluray player. That way direct feed gives u best optimal picture quality.

last point, u cant put a life span on a tv u could watch it 10 hours a day n have it 5 yrs or watch it 5 hours n have it ten years.

if in doubt, take the warranty out.

Lcd panels are all made by one company. Each brand orders from the same company, and tell it what kind of resolution they want, or other specifications. But the main stuff are all the same. So go for the one you fancy without worrying about the brand.

Who makes the LCD panels?

It's a good point you make about how the TVs are actually made.

In my opinion, it's a little oversimplified, as there is more than one company that actually manufactures the LCD panels. But you are right in pointing out that TVs from different brands may have some of the same technology inside.
