"I think my dad has a 30 inch hd CRT in the back room and I think it's a Toshiba. That's a nice tv. no complaints out of him he just wanted something a bit bigger for the living room."

"It was an amazing catch. I'm glad I don't have to hear the BAAAAAston fans for the next 30 years. I watched the first half at my inlaws and the second half at my dad's. It just happened to be a good comparison because of the size and model similarities. We watched it in HD at more

"This is a great machine, I've noticed a little bit of a lag since upgrading to leopard, but I'm still only running 1g ram. I think when I go to 2g it will be fine. I use a Mac Pro Quad at work with a 23" display and while that is faster and more upgradeable etc...I'd more

"I watched half of the superbowl on a brand new Sony 42" bravia and the other half on a Toshiba 42" Regza. The standard definition on the Sony was noticeably better, but that could have been because it was coming through directv vs analog cable. The HD on the Regza looked as good if not better more

I'm Trevor 26 from Battle Creek Michigan. I'm a self proclaimed mac addict of 3 years. I do graphic design work for a certain cereal company located in Battle creek that is grrrreaat! I play soccer, love the blues, watch way too many movies, enjoy pretty much all sports (NASCAR need not apply) and will be moving into a house sometime in March. Between buying a house, and getting married in the past year, I've acquired a lot of crap, so that should give me a bunch of opportunities to review. I'll try to be as objective as i can. Take care!

Let me know if you go for a Vizio. I'm really curious about the performance of these sets. From what I've researched, they provide a lot of value. One thing to look out for is the apparent "buzzing" noise on some of the earlier LCD models.

Nice to meet you, Trevor. I just noticed your updated profile. :)

Where'd you pahk the cah? Wicked fah. (My weak attempt at a BAAAston accent).

I've contemplated a Vizio as well in terms of a cheap large-flat-panel, but I haven't seen enough benefit of replacing my 30" Toshiba CRT HDTV. I still don't think plasmas and LCDs match the quality of the CRT, in general. The "thinness" is attractive though...

It was an amazing catch. I'm glad I don't have to hear the BAAAAAston fans for the next 30 years. I watched the first half at my inlaws and the second half at my dad's. It just happened to be a good comparison because of the size and model similarities. We watched it in HD at both places, but just switched a couple times between SD and HD to see the difference. The sony looked great, but I think the colors looked truer on my dad's regza than my father-in-law's Bravia. I own a smaller Regza (32" with an upconverting DVD player) that I love. I'm thinking about getting a small Vizio for the den, because they seem to be getting good recommendations. --Great website by the way. I've been looking for something like this for quite awhile. You've done a nice job with it.
