Polaroid TV

 did a pretty thorough, for me anyway, market search before buying the Panasonic.  My problem was that I wanted a flat screen that would accept inputs from my hi res lap top CD and???  I needed 1080i or p or whatever.  My max size was determined by me to be 32 inches and most brands don't have the res I needed in any set smaller than 37 or so.  LCD was not a choice cause it needs the ambient light to be low to function so LED was my only choice.  Pioneer has brought out a new line that beats last years Panasonic but the reviews say that Panasonic last year is still better than the others.  I went with the 32 inch LED 1080 for another reason and that is that this series, Avaneda or some such has a "system" approach and every component from that series is overly compatible with each other.  Read up on it...makes sense as a way to go.  If you start getting your requirements down and compare these things among their correct competition models you will end up where I did.  Carefull with the model..mine is a 510-8042, as an example I made up.  It seems that all the retail house's have a signature model in this thing and they are not all the same.  I bought the model sold by Best Buy and it can be driven by almost any source but won't step down to the old tech like the White Red Yellow and such.  Panasonic has a great rep for cust support and reliability.

Phillips was in second place and is the benchmark for anything associated with Europe(?).  It was way more expensive in some model comparisons but out performed.  It wasn't chosen often because it was so spendy but performance wise it was a safe buy in any case.

My Pan is semi portable and goes back in the house when we are home.

Read, compare...get a hunch.  LG has not been good to me but isn't terrible and any like it.
