I would add Pioneer plasmas to that list, but their plasma business is in transition right now so who knows what will happen.

you should add panasonic plasmas as well they are a very close second to pioneer and as pioneers future plasma plans are in trouble at the moment I would think panny might take the crown.

For plasma, Pioneer and Panasonic.....with Samsung in a very close third.

Sharp's Aquos series and Samsung's are definitely the best out there. But I wouldn't get a Sony. Their panels are fine, but they don't allow 1080p through component or VGA just because that's what most 360's use. That's dirty...

I'm not sure that's right. I visited my parents a few months ago and hooked up my 360 to their new Sony and it was doing 1080p through component- at least that's what the 360 settings were telling me.

Yea, that sounds like BS to me.

Go ahead and get one to find out for yourself. Or you can do the smart thing and google it before you try to call BS. Sorry, but it's true...

Most new Sony LCD's do support 1080p through component. And yeah its pretty much true that the three S's are the best in the LCD market.

Are you referring to my post or Chutebox's? If mine, I didn't Google it because I'm reporting my experience with a 52" Sony LCD (I think it was the KDL-52W4100, it was definitely one of the W TVs). I plugged my 360 in through component and set the resolution to 1080p. The image displayed on the screen and the 360 settings said 1080p. Maybe compatibility varies with different models, but that one worked.

When it comes to LCD's, the only other company I would consider looking at besides those mentioned in the OP is Toshiba. Very underrated brand.

How many times are you going to post this trash?

Since you seem to be so full of knowledge, I find it funny you got a HD gaming console without HDMI.
