LCD TV technologies to enhance the picture

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I'm trying to buy a LCD TV and I am confused with the different technologies advertised by the various brands which are supposed to improve the picture quality. Sony talks about their Bravia engine, Philips their Pixel Plus HD engine, etc. Do these work? Are they necessary?

Audio is my hobby and I am new to the video world. In the audio world I like to keep it simple, no processing if possible. So I am hesitant to accept a processing engine. Are TVs that do not advertise such engines worse or better?

Is it safe to buy an unknown brand like this

They don't talk about any processing engines but the specs seem to be OK and the price very good.

Thanks
