I am looking at buying a new TV and wanted to know which kind and which brands I should target.

I would like to get an LED TV in the range of 42-26 inches. I know and trust the Sony Bravia lines, Sharp Aquos line but I am not sure about some of the others, including: Vizio, LG, Toshiba, Panasonic, Samsung, Insignia, etc.

Tips, suggestions?

Well,

A good rule of thumb I've always been told - is to watch the Black.

Black is the hardest color for TV's to reproduce, so seeing how 'true black' the black is on a TV can often give you a quick peak at which TV has the best components/quality.

I'm not sure if this rule applies 100% to the newer TV's, but back before everything was flat screen, it was a good sign of quality. I knew a guy who once went into a shop, and turned every TV on so it was full black on the screen. Then he picked the one that had the darkest 'truest' black.

Just a tip, not sure how useful it may or maynot be.

Top brands are Samsung, Sony and Sharp. Toshiba uses sony parts which delivers almost the same kind of quality at a better price. There is no real difference between LED and LCD, if you really want to spend the money for depth size get the LED. Basically, if money is no issue then I would go with a 46' Samsung UN46B800.

I recently bought a Toshiba 47' zv655u:

-LCD HDTV

-240 fps

-1080p

-Dolby Digital Out audio

-Dynamic Contrast Ratio 100,000:1

-PixelPure 5G

-ClearScan 240
