Right now I currently own the

Samsung LN-S3251D 32IN Widescreen LCD TV 1366X768 4000:1 NTSC 2HDMI Component VGA USB 2X10W Speakers

However, I am looking to buy these LCDS and its either between the Sharp 37" Aquos Widescreen LCD HDTV** (LC37D43U) or the Sharp Aquos 1080p 32" LCD HDTV** (LC32D62U). They are both the same price going for $1300 CAD.

You might want to read through this before buying Sharp.

seems like the 2 flashing lights problem is common with the Aquos series.

any other advice/suggestions

I couldn't give advice on LCD. After looking at HDTVs for a long time, I went with CRT. I took some DVDs into a store and checked them out on a few LCDs, Sharp included, they just don't compare to a CRT. If you're lucky you might still be able to find the Sony KD-34XBR970 somewhere, the TV I bought. Some Circuit City stores still have some left, Best Buy or Sears may still have one too. If you can find one, it's cheaper than an LCD and the PQ blows all LCDs away, no matter what the price is. The only disadvantage is it weighs 190 puonds.

Wow thats the first time I've heard someone recommend a CRT over a LCD/Plasma...incredible! I, myself, prefer LCD over CRT anyway...but I will look at the CRTs you suggested

If you do not like Sharp, how would you review a Sony LCD?

David, can you connect the Sony WEGA KD-34XBR970 34" with VGA? I want to use my PC also with the new TV, along with my XBOX360 and Rogers cable box

Not with VGA. You can use DVI to HDMI if your PC has DVI out. I don't know where you're finding anyone who likes LCD better than CRT. It's certainly not in video forums like AVS or VideoHelp. Try to watch something SD on an LCD, it's terrible compared to a good CRT.

Everything you could want to know about the Sony is here.
