Review

If you're in the market for a new TV, you're not alone. One of the more reasonably priced 1080p brands on the marketplace is the Sharp Aquos. As , the 37 inch model costs about $1,100. These brands are made to be thinner so they can more easily match into smaller spaces and can be hung on walls more easily .

Though the TV does own a high contrast (10,000:1) which creates the color more vibrant and the picture brisker, other models comprising the one stated below have higher ones. The television sold with a computer input so it can be utilized as a very large PC monitor if you wish . In addition, this 1080p TV sold with picture-in-picture and V-chip. It's also Energy Star compliant so you'll keep money on your electric bill .

For almost $100 more, you could purchase the Samsung 37 inch LCD television . Although the Aquos describe above is also an LCD model , the contract on this 1080p TV is higher (15,000:1). Like the Aquos, the Samsung sold with picture-in-picture, V-chip technology, and 3 HDMI ports.

In addition, the Samsung model has slightly faster refresh times (5ms to 6ms) which is important for video game players who can't afford interruption in picture updating. This Samsung 1080p TV also equipped with a USB port so you can watch photo, movie, and music files from your computer or other USB-connected devices.

The 37 inch Sony Bravia costs around $400 more than the Sharp Aquos but does come with plenty of amazing features making it more comparable to the Samsung 1080p TV. The Sony Bravia also offers 1080p resolution, as well as TruSound audio technology.

This model has a built-in technology known as the Advance Contrast Enhancer which is designed to provide finer details and a more theater-quality image. The television can also synch up with other Sony products so they can work together more efficiently.

Given the price difference, however, the Samsung 1080p TV seems to be one of the best on the market. It would definitely be a sound investment.
