Haier HL42XD2 42-Inch 1080p D Series LCD HDTV

Haier HL42XD2 42-Inch 1080p D Series LCD HDTV Review

Got this tv on another site (Dell @ Home) for under 0 brand new, my first big screen lcd tv & I'm in love lol. Sound from the speakers is fine compared to other reviews of other products, namely Samsung, sound being less than adequate. This is fully adjustable in the menu as is the picture quality. TV is backlit so can adjust that too; watched Avatar & saw creatures I never noticed before. Everything is crisp & sharp, the colors jump off the screen into the room, couldn't be more pleased. Works great with my blu ray, dvd, dvr & HD Dish! Am getting a Acoustabar 520 & will wall mount it just cuz I can. Will complete the setup with a digital optical cable. Have seen this brand for computer monitors, so wasn't sure about tv's, there's not many reviews on Google etc, but at that price couldn't turn it down!! So far, Haier is tops in my house.

Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 42XV545U 42-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 42XV545U 42-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Review

While this is my first HDTV I did do a lot of shopping around and checked out a bunch of tv's before I set my heart on this one. The 42xv545u is a 1080p 120hz tv that is very affordable! The color is amazing and so far I've had no problems with it besides a dinky hdmi cable.
SD channels are so so and not great quality and the upscaling technology basically sharpens the image but it can only do so much. Any HD content looks breathtaking and no lag present.
I am currently using a PS3 and comcast for my HD needs. Even with comcasts compression on HD channels the picture still looks pretty good. I recently watched Resident Evil Degeneration on Blu-Ray and it was crystal clear!
The only gripes I would have to throw out there would be that there is no picture-in-picture on this set, and even though the tv remembers your video settings for each input; it does not save "game mode" for any input. So every day when I turn on my ps3 I have to go to the menu and select game made. It doesn't sound like much but when you do it everyday it kind of gets annoying.
So all in all I am VERY happy with this purchase and I recommend anyone that's on the fence about this set to definitely buy it!

UPDATE: It is now September 11th about 7 months owned now and it still works exactly like the day I first received it. price dropped by 200 dollars from when I bought this tv so I would still recommend this tv highly!
