I was checking out that 3rd color yesterday, I think they call it gray or grey, I forget the details. But it makes black and white look like an Amish chalk board!

I have a Panasonic 32in LCD back home. 120 hertz and after like 3 years it has a great picture. I picked up a 32in Vizio for my apartment for like 230 bucks. Great picture for the price. I can play call of duty on it and it looks just as good as the Panasonic I paid nearly double for a few years ago...

I believe the only companies that actually make the LCD screens are Samsung, LG, Sharp, and Vizio? Everything else is a version of that.

Sony still uses Samsung screens, but they input different screen tech to make it sharper, etc etc.

If you are looking at two TVs, look behind to see if they are plugged into HDMI or the old analog Red/White/Yellow connectors. I know that some places plug half of the TVs with HDMI, the others with analog.

120hz is perfect for your average TV watcher. 240hz if you watch a lot of HD movies, HD sports channels, or video games.

Obviously, this is America, so bigger is always better.
