I am looking for a led tv to buy and need some information on whats out there? Something in the 50in to 60in range with excellent picture and sound.
Answer
Oh good luck with that one. I have been doing expensive research on the very same thing. Many experts will tell you that if going with an extra large HDTV, plasma is the logical choice. Plasma is considerably cheaper that LCD in the larger sizes and offers better picture quality. When manufacturers sit at the drawing board to design a new LCD TV they decide what they expect for performance based on roughly a 45" TV. A good analogy for what I am trying to say is when you buy a 1/2 ton pickup a smaller engine will work perfect for it but if you upgrade to a big ol four door 1 ton truck you expect it to come with a bigger engine right? A 60" LCD has to provide it's picture from the same "engine" as the 45". Hope that makes sense.
With all that said, CNET, the leading expert on electronic technical review recently retested the very best picture quality TV's in the world. Panasonic's high end plasma's from last year. They released a message stating that in only 1500 hours (1 year) the picture had degraded so much they could no longer recommend the product! Talk about throwing a wrench in the works!
Last week as I was at my electronics store (which happens to be my Navy Exchange) they were pulling a brand new TV out of the box to put on display. It was the brand new 60" Sharp Aquos Quattron Quad pixel LED TV. The moment they turned it on I was sold. Absolutely amazing television. Good luck in your search my friend.

What is the best store to by a LED-TV?
Q. I would like to buy a new TV, but don´t know where I can get the best overview and information. Thanks for your help.
Answer
Use the Internet for general information on LCD/LED and plasma TVs. Once you get a general idea of the type TV you want, visit a store like Best Buy or Costco that has a lot of them operating as demonstrators. Write down the make and model of anything you like, then check out their reviews on the Internet at sites like Amazon and others.
For the best place to buy it, my choice is Costco, but only after you've done the homework above. Once you know the make and model you want, and it's in stock at Costco, buy it there. The reasons:
1. 90 day no-questions return privilege. If the set disappoints you for any reason, bring it back for an exchange or full refund. (Save your receipt and all the packaging.) I've done this--it works.
2. Costco doubles the manufacture's warranty, which usually means two years instead of one.
3. Costco gives you free technical support for a year, with a 24 x 7 phone number.
That first item has proven to be the most important. So far as I know, no one else offers a return policy like that except possibly for Sam's Club. You can hardly go wrong.
