Love my Pioneer Plasma, but next purchase will most likely be an LG. ---

OLED OLED OLED. The LGs are great. The Hisense 100" projector is fantastic in a great room especially when there are lots of people over, but the LG picture is superb. ---

Well, I own two Sony’s but I don’t necessarily think they are the best out there…they’re very good and both were purchased on sale. We’ll see how long they live… ---

My last 3 tv’s have been Sonys. That is my preference. When I bought my last Sony, I also bought a Samsung. I hooked them up next to each other and compared the pictures. I wanted what I thought was the better tv… I found the Sony LCD looked better - and I returned the Samsung and kept the Sony. ---

LG makes great screens but TVs are not my area of expertise. ---

I have always preferred SONY TVs as they look much better and switch properly to streaming sticks and the like - unlike our LG TV we have too. I will replace them with SONY TVs in future. ---

I only buy one very 10 years, what ever is the best and cheapest… ---

I’m a Sony guy for TV’s but the last time I brought a Samsung because to was $500 cheaper. Everyday I wish I paid the extra and got the Sony. ---

I have purchased two TCL TV this past year. a 32" for the ‘Man Nook’ and a 55’ as the primary TV. Great looking pictures on both and love the built in Roku interface. I have been a Roku fan since the 2nd gen player. ---

When Canada (and probably the USA too) used to have “The Sony Store” stores, I used to be a huge fan of Sony gear. But these days, I think Sony is a slowly fading star. My last Sony TV was a 36" 175lbs Trinitron tube TV, capable of 1080i and picture in picture, that I paid over $3k for and gave away for nothing. Sony stopped making their own displays, so I stopped considering them to have the best displays. They may or may not have some of the best firmware (for things like upscaling or downscaling) but I don’t consider the increase in price to provide good value. I waited to get a LCD TV until I could afford one of the first 1080p capable ones, it was 37" and it was from Sharp. I still have it, wall-mounted, but generally disused in my guest room. Since I had good luck with that, to replace it I bought a larger 52" Sharp LED, one of the ones with the yellow pixels, which I also still have, wall-mounted in my “computer room”. When I wanted something larger, the Sharp pricing wasn’t great, so I ended up buying two identical Samsung 60" LED TVs: one for the family room and one for wall-mounting in the master bedroom. After about a two years, the master bedroom one developed a single line of green pixels from top to bottom for no apparent reason. (It was not abused in any way, beyond being well used.) I am in the market for a larger TV for the family room, but not in the budget. When the next chance to buy comes along, I will probably choose based on the what has the features I need based on the budget I have. At that time I will move the family room TV to the master bedroom to replace the one with the green line (which will get recycled or given away.) A couple of “black Fridays” ago (yes, Canada has “adopted” this American tradition) I got a smallish Sharp TV (40" I think) for a real steal, even though I had no actual use for it at the time. It feels cheap, has two inputs, and has poor firmware, but I don’t feel ripped off because it was so cheap to acquire. I ended up putting it on a stand beside the larger family room TV and using it to play Playstation while half watching something on the larger TV. ---

I like both Sony’s and LG’s. However, being broke I have a couple of Insignia’s from Best Buy. They sell them dirt cheap, and they are “Good Enough”. ---

I’m actually planning to buy a new TV this coming Black Friday. I currently have a 65" Panasonic Plasma, so yeah, it’s like 10-12 years old. We’ve been debating a 65" OLED vs a 75" LCD with nano cell backlighting. Similar price. My eyes can’t tell the difference in quality in the showroom, so we’re leaning towards bigger is better. ---

The biggest benefit for OLED is deeper blacks. But, I would probably go with the larger TV also. ---

Scott always says that an LCD might be better if the room is brighter. So, that can make a difference as well. I personally find all the OLEDs at the store to have too much reflection on the glass. SOme LCDs have it too, but some have a low glare finish on the screen. It would personally drive me nuts to see those reflections when trying to watch TV. I already have enough issue with the new laptops not having low glare glass… But to deal with that on a huge TV would be too much for me. When I see it in the store, I find it distracting ---

Pioneer back in the day, I guess LG or Sony now. Have my eye on an LG W series right now. Pretty amazing design! I can tell you definitively what my _least_ favorite brand is - Samsung. Their QLED marketing is specifically targeted to ride the coattails of OLED technology. Tricking people who know enough to ask but not enough to know. ---

LG is the most recent TV I purchased. It was on sale at the local store and has served us well.
