You get what you pay for is right, also look at the specs on some of these off brand entry level models.........anything under 5000.1 contrast is a out and out joke if you ask me, look on Walmart's site and you see these $900 models with 1000.1. 1500.1 contrast, if the color black didnt exist these numbers would be fine but grey doesnt cut it.
Off brand hdtv sets.....
Are brands like Dynex, INsignia,etc high risk or do they compete with brand names like samsung,toshiba,etc? Im looking at spending 1k or less on a set...leaning towards panasonic...but there are some tempting deals on off brands...
