You really can't go by how a set looks in a store. There are many variables that may not apply to your home that happen in stores - different lighting, video source (splitting signals, etc.) and settings on the TV's, for example. It's probably better to look at a place like cnet that does reviews:

I agree.
This is so true. My first HDTV was a 32" Sanyo CRT it was great in its day but talk about trying to watch 2.35:1
movie on it. Then it was a 50" Sony A10 LCD rear projection, and then Vizio. All these sets are still working fine, gave away
the Sanyo, loaned the Sony to couple that are graduating in 2 weeks and moving in next door into the ol' farmhouse.
I think the biggest disappointing store we went into over years was Tweeter, they even had some of the Component
cable crossed and they didn't even realize it, the picture was gawd awful, I thought they were suppose to be "the"
place to actually see tweaked TVs.

You can't go by what you see in the stores at all, even if they were tweaked the lighting in your home is going to
be totally different.
