Answer:
It all depends on the price range to be honest, To date the best LCD TV is the sony bravia ( i believe it is called ) it has all the latest inbuilt technology and is built to outlast their competitors, though the price is quite high, if you bought another one and compared it you'd be sure to find more feautres than on a cheaper version and the simpliest of design for easy set up.
Hope this helps sorry it's sony though
