Which lcd tv is better?

Question

I have been looking around and I wanted a cheap 32" lcd tv. I founf the Konka KDL32AT23U and the Sceptre X32GV-Komodo. The Konka is $500 and the Sceptre is $550. The problem is that they are both no-name companies and I was wondering which one is better. I was going to use it for analog satelite, dvd player, a computer monitor, and some day for a Playstation 3.

The link for the Konka is http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2329640&CatId=386

The link for the Sceptre is http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2705968&CatId=0

Tigerdirect also has a Viewsonic lcd tv for $600.

Answer 1

Never heard of any of these tvs, but if you have to pick one, go with the Sceptre. It has a dual tuner and more output/input. If you're planning to get a PS3, you should get a better LCD because the picture quality of these 2 tvs won't be good enough. Get a Vizio, Olevia or Westinghouse if money is tight. For the best LCDs, you want a Samsung, Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba or JVC.

Answer 2

i agree with the above answer. but dont get either of them bc they are no name and are probably not good quality. at the very least get a westinghouse. or olevia not a vizio. but even better would be the name brands mentioned above. believe me it will be well worth it in the long run. dont be cheap with this kind of investment, you want to be happy with this for many years to come. you will not be happy you saved money if the quality is not that great or when you start having problems with the tv sooner than you expected. save up your money and wait . it will be worth it.

It's about time. This year, along with satellite radios, we add HDTVs to the mix. And, as you might expect, readers rate all sorts of vendors offering all sorts of HD technologies, from plasma TVs and rear-projections to good ol' CRTs. But two companies stand out: Pioneer and Sony.
If you look at the overall scores across all technologies, Pioneer is king, with a significantly above-average overall score of 9.0 out of 10. This has a lot do with the fact that readers prefer plasmas to all other HD technologies. Pioneer is one of the biggest plasma vendors, and it's the lone Readers' Choice for this segment of the market, with a 9.1 out of 10. It's also the Readers' Choice for rear-projection TVs, with an 8.7.
In the big picture, across all technologies, Sony is just behind Pioneer, with an overall score of 8.5, and it receives a Readers' Choice award for CRTs (8.4), and LCDs (8.6). Readers also shared their experiences with front-projection TVs, but Sony was the only vendor rated. And because Sony received only 50 responses in total, a Readers' Choice in that niche category will have to wait until next year.
Pioneer
No one comes close. Pioneer garners the highest overall score. The company comes out ahead on rear-projection TVs and, in particular, plasmas.
Sony
Looking for an LCD model—or even a good old CRT? Look to Sony. And Sony's scores are pretty darn good for rear-projection models, too.
