JVC, Sony, Panasonic, or Samsung. I work in Sears electronics and Sonys are Awesome..but gonna cost some $$ ... I think if I were in the market for one I'd buy a flatscreen JVC. :thumbs:

for large TV's.....35 and up I like sony, but for anything below that I only use samsung.....in college I had a tv, that was a samsung, that was the first big screen(26 inch) my family had.....I finally got rid of it because the picture tube started to go, I mean the bastard only lasted about 17 years.

Another good brand to consider is Toshiba.

 

I think any more though, most TV's are pretty decent. The majority of the TV's I own (maybe 3-4 of them) are Magnavox. They have all been excellent with good pictures and sound.

 

I have a 20" Zenith in my bedroom that isn't that great of a TV.

 

My 50" TV is a Toshiba, and it is "great"!!!

 

The more $$$ you spend, the nicer the picture and sound quality is. If you like using picture-in-picture, then look for a dual-tuner model so you don't have to run the PIP through your VCR. Also look at the number of I/O jacks that there are... A set of front jacks are nice for plugging in a camcorder, or video game.

I had a Mitsubishi 60" but didn't really care for the picture.We picked up a 55" Phillips Widescreed HD a few weeks ago and sold the Mitsu and all I can say about the Phillips is:WOW! :thumbs:

There is such a thing as a 13 inch TV :seeya: Wow. :thumbs:

 

I have 6 TV's in my house, all across the size/quality/brand spectrum.

 

You get what you pay for, more money = more options and higher quality.

 

Higher quality = heavier :flag:

 

I have a 32 incher in the bedroom, and it's really big enough for any type viewing, unless you are a huge movie buff, or sports nut.

 

But with you getting ready to build a new house, you should wait until you have that taken care of before dropping a couple of grand on a TV that may or may not fit into the new floorplan.

 

My vote is for a 32".

 

But thats just me and my .02 :smash:

We have had good luck with our 50" Hitachi, or you could get a TV I saw at Sound Advice a few years ago. It was a 90" Mitsubishi. :thumbs:

    • Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.  
    • Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
    • you might read through the info on gmupfitter.com for your truck, to find a good power source.
    • Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally. 
    • Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
