Personal opinion, from someone who deals with high end monitors on a daily basis in the film industry......Panasonic.
I'm a lot fussier than the majority of people, 'cos my job entails providing the likes of Ridley Scott, etc, with a decent picture to look at, so i'm even fussier at home for my own use.
Problem with buying a tv is that you'll never ever know how good it is until it's in your home.
Add to the fact if you even attempt to go and look in a shop you'll be met by a hundred tv's on display with a terrible feed into them, apart from the one in the dark corner with the BluRay animated film being shown around the clock, which will stand out like a dick in a room full of lesbians.
Refurbed Grade A tv's will have any flaws fixed, will be 40% cheaper than normal, and still be guaranteed, it's the way to go.
Setting up the picture on a tv/monitor is hugely important as well, it amazes me how some people will just take it out of the box and not touch any settings at all thinking all is normal......it ain't.
Take time and slowly go through EVERY setting, and don't be sucked into gimmicky extras on tv's, as sometimes they'll look much better when switched off.

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
