  LG and samsung makes good panel, maybe you can go down to those showrooms and take a look yourself, cause this kind of thing is subjective. Also remember to enquire about the dead/stuck pixel policy so you don't get a headache

  is there a quick way to check dead pixel?
  
  the showroom guy told me there is blue screen (but how about white, red, green background?)
  
  can we use computer to plug into LCD TV to check? like using image viewer to view full RGB, White image using borderless or full screen view?

  Go for the Sony Bravia series. Good stuff.
  
  As for size, it would depend on ur sitting position relative to ur TV position. 3-4m away 32"-37" should be fine. If u sit 4-6m from ur TV then a 42" would be ideal
  
  IMHO

  it would be easier to fit ur budget to a screen than vice versa.. give us a rough guesstimate of ur budget and some here might give u some recommendations..
  
  if not much of a budget.. IMHO Pioneer currently makes the best plasma tvs..
