Samsung if you want the best. Visio IMO is a close 2nd. They are tied with the rest. 600 series are great and may be more than you need. The 800 series are the schiznitz but have a lot of functions I wouldn't use.

Samsung high end LCDs are the best as far as LCDs go...

Cannot go wrong with a Vizio LCD...best bang for your buck!

Pioneer used to make the best Plasma...but Panasonic now is the leader in Plasma.

If you have a room that is quite bright you will have some reflections on a Plasma(they use a glass like surface for the screen cover, sorta like an old tube TV) while LCD do not reflect lights, bright windows etc.

LCDs on the other hand have issues with motion blur(fast moving objects have jagged edges) and cannot handle deep blacks (dark blacks) they will seem washed out or gray. Therefore for watching movies (dark blacks colors) and sports a Plasma is better.

Depends on what you want to watch and your room condition...the LCDs are getting better with motion blur depends on the viewier. I am very picky.

I have a Pioneer plasma in a semi bright room I notice reflection a little but I've had a lot of people compliment the quality of the picture...but you better get HD programming from your cable provider, it is the key!!!

That is why they are making the higher hertz LCD's. The 240 hertz refresh 4 times the original 60 hertz LCD's making the picture better for fast moving objects.

Y not? a generator produces clean power and the internal power supply (transformer) cleans it up even more. Unless you are talking about surges from powering other things on the same generator. Which still shouldnt matter because of the internal power supply in the TV. The transformer isolates it from the power source, so you should be OK.
