LG or Toshiba?

[Wile E]

That's the one i was looking for, i just couldn't remember the name.

When Lucky Goldstar was sold here in AUS (it was called by that name back then) it was the mega Cheap ass brand. Now its just named as LG = Life's Good (slogan) and has done well in sales since, but was the cheap brand of the 90's. Go Toshiba.

LG makes the panels for all the top professional IPS LCDs on the market. They are not a cheap brand when it comes to LCD panel technology. Toshiba doesn't even make their own panels, the buy someone elses, and throw it in one of their cases.

IPS?

Do they make the LCDs for BENQ?

Regardless if Toshiba don't use there own LCDs there still not a cheap brand.

S-IPS are in screens like the Apple Cinema displays or professional level LCD's. All 30" 2560x1600 monitors are S-IPS as well. And Toshiba not being a cheap brand does not mean it's the best choice.

toshiba is one of the japanese old school brands and do provide very high quality products, but korean manufacturing and electronics has advanced alot, and some would even say they are today what japan was in the 80´s and 90´s, todays sony TV´s carry Samsung panels, and philips TV´s carry LG panels, they make pretty good cellphones and a small korean company called cowon makes some of the best MP3 players around,

its like hyundai, they use to be small crappy cars that broke by just looking at them, and today its a very respectable brand,

plus, the LG still has that USB playback mod that gives it a slight edge

I say just go to a few stores. Look at a few TV's and what ever catches your eye as the best bang for the YOUR buck, get it. It's alot easier viewing in person than asking. I think everyone has put out all the info and their choices.

I have to agree with you 100%, this would be the best way to get what he wants.

Well said.

Oh

It "would" be the best way if he could see them.

Actually, LG means Lucky Goldstar, which is the product of the old south korean Goldstar electronics congolmerate, they currently share panel manufacturing with royal dutch philips,

also some of the current LG models can me modded to playback Xvid, Divx and H264 (in MKV) from the usb port using an external hard drive, its a plus,

So that's what happened to Goldstar! I used to have a couple of their monitors during the Commodore 64 era.

i need more ppl to help im reading on google and im finding just as many ppl recommending toshiba as lg



cnet didnt give the lg tv a good review as i wanted. but i still havent found a review for the toshiba yet.
http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/lg-37lh30/4505-6482_7-33561691.html

me thinks you should have done a poll with this

please stop incessantly bumping your threads every 30 mins. It is customary to wait 24 hours to allow people to help you, versus almost demanding it the way you bump your threads.

i agree sneekypeet that's good advice, also he should have put that it was a tv/pc monitor
he was thinking of getting rather than just 2 brand names, as he could have been asking about washing machines

Op said though there was no electronics store in his town in which to view them.

oh no has he never heard of a taxi or interstate bus heck if i was putting down that much cash on a screen i'd definately want to have a damned good look at the thing first probably with a magnifying glass

oh and for me i'd say lg, why?
well in my area we have sevral shops and the lg tv/monitors look quite good

 

[Triprift]

Lol not if its gonna cost him hundreds of bucks by taxi or whatever a bus costs easier just to get on the net.

 

[sweeper]

yup.. best bet is reviews in his case.

 

[Bo$$]

if you can find a samsung buy it, bought a 3 series, a 6 series and 4 series and they are all so good

im buying one of these. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889005067

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889253198


which one has the better picture? idk and theres no electronic store in my town to look and see them :\ my budget is $700. id like a tv 37" or over, 1080p with the best picture for under 700. im considering these 2 atm

Without even clicking the links I would say LG. LG and Samsung are the best for LCD panels For some reason the Koreans are awesome at making LCD panels for HDTV's

my mom went to bestbuy and said the lg had a slightly better picture to it. but then i found this http://www.costco.com/Browse/Produc...essionID=e30f53fd-3e0c-4d71-bfaf-282420de59b2 :O 37" 1080p vizio with 120Hz for only 649. my moms going to costco later today to look at it.... but is there somthing wrong with this tv? why is it so cheap...

TV's are getting cheaper and Vizio already makes inexpensive TV's I have the 42" version and it's excellent! I wouldn't suggest plopping a 37" monitor on your desk though. Way too much for up close sitting. You can find yourself a great 24" monitor for under $300 bucks. That's $350 dollars that can be spent elsewhere.

Heh, my bad. Nothing wrong with that TV at all. Vizio's are already inexpensive and Costco is usually inexpensive as well. Win/win. The reason I got my Vizio is because I thought it had better picture quality over anything at Best Buy at the time. Best TV you can buy at the price in my opinion.

Give max the benifit of the doubt he most likely didnt read your original post correctly.

 

[stayplation3]

the vizio specs are lookin freakin sweet.... has any1 personally seen that model irl b4? SV370XVT

 

[MilkyWay]

LG all the way as all ive had from toshiba is trouble they seem to try market good specs but cheap price and all the products ive had have been either crappy or just rebranded chinese gear.

Like my camcorder sucks, the lighting indoor quality is piss poor.

The tvs ive saw have been okay but nothing special and in that price range there are better.

Everyone has personal experiences but the feeling i get is go LG they might not be the best spec but they are minted in quality.
EDIT: not that tv in particular im talking about a mates tv which isnt the best spec but really good tv overall.

 

[RaPiDo987]

I just got a 37" vizio for $530 at sam's club... Love it and the picture is Amazing!
