I've finally decided to take the plunge and buy an HDTV. I've
narrowed my
choices down to four LCDs. Please help me choose because to me they
all
look great.

Sony:
KDL-40V2500
KDL-40S3000

Dell:
W3707C

Sharp:
LC-32D62U

The Television is going to be for a bedroom that is not huge by any
means,
actually quite small. It's under 20ft x 20ft. I just want to make
the
right choice since I'll have it for years to come. Thanks!

Get a Samsung LN-T4065F (40" LCD). I just got the 46" version
(LN-T4665F) and it's awesome.

Sorry Wes, LOL. I guess that was wishful thinking on my part. My bedroom
is actually more like 12x8 and not quite with the way the one wall is with
the door. LOL, what the heck was I thinking?

Some people like large screens, some don't. In the bedroom I usually watch
lying down about 5-6 visual feet from the TV. I've got a 27" HDTV there
and any larger would be too large for me. Before going HD, I used a 20".
tried a 25" and that was too large. You could always take a tape measure
to walmart and look at thenm from the distance you will be looking at then
at home.

I like the Sony picture quality, I'd go for the newer model, I know
it's the most expensive. Don't know what the Dell is.

You realize that some of the no-names at retail now are about half the
price of the Sony's, and really not bad?

"visual feet?"

Do you have some telescope or set of mirrors that allow you to get a
"visual distance" that's different than your actual distance? :-o

I looked for a long time. I settled on the less cost VIZIO 32" LCD
HDTV.
Contrast 1200:1
OTA HD is awsome.
Sears or Costco $599
Actually Sears on sale $569
I picked up a Phillips upconvert HDMI DVD player for $45
Works.
YMMV

Just because you have bottomless pockets doesn't mean you can criticize me
for not.
