Samurai768 is right. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display, and they break constantly. I would suggest a different kind 

Regardless of the type of TV set you get, here are some things to consider (not in any particular order):

1: Contrast Ratio
This is the ratio between the darkest black and the brightest white the TV can produce. Solid black is actually the hardest color for a TV to produce, so you want to make sure the set you get can display nice, dark blacks, while also having good bright whites. In general, a higher ratio is better.

2: Resolution
Although it shouldn't be your main concern, resolution is the number of pixels the screen displays, usually measured by the number of vertical pixels. For example, a 720p TV is 720 pixels high. The higher the resolution, the sharper the image. You also want to consider the size of the TV compared to the resolution; a resolution of 720p is going to look much better on a smaller TV than a larger one because the pixels are smaller and more dense.

3: How the TV renders the image
There are two main types of this: progressive scan (p) and interlaced (i). Progressive scan is better, because it renders all the pixels together, whereas interlaced draws half of the pixels then displays the other half very quickly so fast that it looks like one image. Depending on who you ask, you'll get different opinions, but some people say that a progressive scan image looks better than an interlaced image of twice the resolution. (Basically, some people say that a 720p TV is better than a 1080i TV)

4: Viewing angle
Viewing angle is used to tell at how much of an angle you can look at the TV and still be able to see it clearly. If you get a TV with a bad viewing angle, you could be sitting just a few feet off to the side and not be able to see the image well. In general, plasma sets have better viewing angles, although this is not always true.

5: Size
Probably the most obvious. Just make sure the TV you get is big enough to see well, but not too big.

But don't take my word for it; make sure to do your own research too!

lol, my mum won't let me xD

it's annoying, my wii and 360 are plug into the smaller one.

Hey, my family's main TV is a fat Zenith that has to be 10 years old. And my Wii is hooked up to an old Emerson that has to be at least 20 years old. So it could be worse for you. 

Ok. I will be the first here to give the answer sanddude wants.

First of all, NO VISIOs! They look good and are the cheapest, but they seem to fall apart RIGHT after the warranty expires.

Hitachi is good, but I am not sure if they make TVs other that "projection" LCDs, the fattest of the LCDs.

Sharp (the brand, not adjective) is pretty good. Our secondary TV is a Sharp 32 in.
There is no picture or longevity problems, but our's takes a minute to start showing the picture. It may be a lemon or a brand-wide problem. IDK.

I have no experience with other brands, like Sony, so I can't help you there.
I hope that helped you.

Your Welcome!
