37" LCD TVs Worth Buying: Sharp & LG

I have been on a 3-month quest for the perfect flatscreen 37-inch LCD TV. I took this project on very seriously, as I realized this would be the first new TV I ever bought myself in my life. I researched, I discussed, I even came close to purchasing other models, but it seems that the Sharp Aquos LC-37D62U or the LG 37LB5D are the best bets. I also felt that the 37" size was best for a New York City apartment - not too big, but you will certainly see a difference, literally.

You can find both of these models for sale online for - in some cases - low and vastly varying prices. However, if you live in NYC and don't have the doorman luxury, I would suggest heading over to B&H on 9th Ave. near 33rd St. They have decent prices and you won't have to pay delivery or tip the driver. You will, however, need to get yourself over there and take a cab back home. Also, know that B&H is closed for the sabbath early every Friday and all day Saturday (and is also closed the entire week of Passover), so plan your trip accordingly. They are open from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on most Sundays, however, so that adds a convenience factor.

I would tell you which one I bought, but I am no corporate shill! You must take my wise words and make your own decisions.

Flat Screen TVs - Maybe...

Yet again...from The New York Times' Urban Eye. Perhaps I should really start to join the 21st Century and make my way down the road of new technology...these things just seem to become obsolete so quickly, as does my money when I spend it on, well, almost anything!

TV, TV, on the Wall
If you’re in the market for a flat-screen TV, good news: thanks to competition from the lesser-known brand Olevia (see pic.), the big manufacturers are in a price war. You can get your Sonys, Samsungs and other monster models for 30 percent less today than a few months ago — or go for an Olevia, which at under $1,000 is bargain-basement. Of course that 32-inch behemoth may get cheaper still. But if you hold out, you won’t get to see the stars scrabble over the Academy Awards in all their oversized glory. Don’t you owe it to them — and to your Oscar party guests — to trade up?
