When buying TV's these days, you've probably heard it before but it all comes down to your own preferences and budget.
If you have the desire to get the latest and greatest and have a decent budget. By all mean the new 120hz and 240 hz LCD's are the new thing....or the new LED's as well.
But most people are on a budget. So it comes down to what looks best to you. I just bought a new 40 inch samsung lcd. I was trying to decide between an identically priced plasma and the samsung. At the end of the day I just didn't like the look of the plasma. They are more suited to Darker home theatre rooms as they pick up a lot of glare. So I went with the LCD.
Spec wise, the biggest decision is the refresh rates. The higher ones are definitely better. I watched a 120hz tv for a while and you could really see the difference. Someone compared it to a soap opera, and its true it has that weird "look" to it.
But the 60hz tvs were just fine with me, its still a nice clear picture. Once you get that 60hz tv home, unless you are watching it side by side with a 120 or a 240, you will like it just the same.
Also you really can't be sure about a tv until you bring it home and set it up, so as long as you don't mind packing and unpacking a few tv's, those 30 day return policies are your friend.
