Re: Need LCD recomendation...
I've got a 3 years old Samasung 23" in my bedroom the gets constant use and I love it. Great picture and fits the room nicely.
Here's a 22' Samsung at a really decent price (I'm thinking of getting one) »www.amazon.com/Samsung-LN22A450-···3&sr=1-1

Huh, I'm not even recommending you to get a DLP. I'm agreeing with some post about the 120hz marketing crap on LCDs. |

Bloom County | I know - and that is why it is going off topic and since DLP is not in the sizes I am looking for - even more off topic. |

I want to say that the Samsung you linked to is very close to what I was looking at, at Sam's Club. |

It is not as fast of a monitor/tv... although it looks pretty good... I have no problems watching the HD on my regular TV (DirecTV HD/Letterbox) with no motion blurs and jidders, but on an LCD I bought and returned WOW... like someone poured water on the screen... so much blur and jitters... I'd suggest buy one @ the local WerstBye and do a dry run, and than when you found one you like, buy it online cheaper...  |

Sorry if I confused all, but was trying to say to you, you may not need to spend the extra $$'s for a 120Hz set. And that is how we got off track 
Someone earlier in the thread suggested to avoid an LCD without 120Hz processing as motion blur would occur in fast moving action sequences. I brought up that unless you see, and some people don't, judder in MOVIES the 120HZ doesn't make a difference over a 60Hz set for just motion blur.
If you have the extra bucks, go for the gold, 1080p, 120hz, etc. but if you are saving $$'s you have to pick and choose the features that will benefit your type of use and viewing, not the ...see my TV's specs bragging rights.... LOL |

If i had to pick a number for a budget - I would probably say $450 or less but if the TV is really good I might be persuaded to go as high as $500.
I just wish I could trust the screen in the stores - to know that the tv setups are not being played around with to try and push people into a particular set. Probably don't have to worry as much about that for smaller LCD's and places like Sam's. |

| Well since you are waiting at least 3 months to buy a TV. There will be new models and sales in the coming months.
In the end it is your decision.

| I never said I was going to wait 3 months - only that I did not plan on buying in the next couple of weeks unless a killer deal came up. I will continue to look from now till I decide on one and buy it. Couple be less than a month from now - might be longer. If one is going on sale due to a new model being released and is a good tv - then I would strongly consider the older model. |

2 edits | I thought you said it was a Christmas present?
said by CylonRed  :I plan on this being for a Christmas gift for my wife and I. Not planning to buy in the next couple of weeks but plan on taking some time unless there is a killer deal that crops up.... So at this point wait for the sales that will hit after Thanksgiving. And the way the stores are hurting there will be some "Killer" deals again. |

| I can buy a Christmas gift any time - not necessarily going to be bought in December. As noted in the second sentence - did not plan on buying in the next couple of weeks... With no modifiers after that part of the sentence - I can buy after a couple of weeks easily. |
