After looking at a couple of LCDs id say I have to disagree with you, there is definately a difference between LCDs, you can make out. The LCDs I saw were all connected to the same HD source, the colour reproduction and contrast ratio were different in different models. Whether or not its worth paying extra for the difference in quality is another issue. |
Well the end result is same, Samsung and Sony have the same panel.
As for quality, out of the box my LG did not deliver the quality I saw at showrooms, for a simple DVD that is. Adjusting contrast and brightness made a lot of difference.
At Hometown for example, one of the Samsung sets was showing much poorer quality than an older samsung model.
So all these are actually issues with settings.
As for same HD source, the source may be same, but there is also the coupler in between which does the job of distributing the same signal to various TVs.
That said most sony showrooms were using High Definition DVD discs, and the showroom where we finally bought from, the display was using normal DVD.

I always make my comparison on Cable / Tata sky channel with a sports channel or News channel playing.
That's PQ, but overall with aggressive pricing I feel Samsung is a good VFM package.
Didn't check out LG, as it is anyway 4th in LCD TV market. |
the best way to test is in a darkened room, in a bright room all look the same.
As for image quality, response time is important and all these leading guys have similar response time, so nothing lost.
I think in the 42" space which has true HD(not pseudo HD) you will make out differences between the different brands, in 32" space all the brands including Panasonic, LG, Philips, Samsung, Sony etc., look the same.
As for differences in image quality, I think it can more be due to settings.
If you really really want a better LCD TV, look at the 100Hz or 120Hz models that will be affordable within a few months.
In the current 60Hz space, atleast my eyes can't make much of a difference! As always, like they say in ICE. Trust your "sense" brands etc., is all bakwas.
