Default RE: What to look for when purchasing a Flat Screen TV?

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the comments.

I just got back from the store. Sony has a nice 40'' LCD with 1080p, but only 60Hz. I only watch movies, and the movie that was on seemed fine, so it seemed to work nice in the store.

There was an almost identical Toshiba there as well. On sale, so about $30 cheaper (not significant) than the Sony. Picture not quite as perfect as the Sony, but extremely close. Probably will decide on one of those two.

There was a 40 inch LED one there too. Had a very nice pic, but $200 more (yes; significant). I forget the brand. Might have been LG.

The plasma units all had a very good picture, but I found out about glare. The overhead store lights really gave the plasma screens a bad reflection and glare. Not sure if that would be a problem at home or not.
