The biggest mistake people make is they don't calibrate their panels. Calibrating even a cheap panel will make it outshine an uncalibrated expensive panel. A calibrated expensive one is just "wow, I didn't think a TV could look that good".

I cringe when I see oversaturated colors, blown whites, crushed blacks and too high/cool (blue) a color temperature people get using presets.

How and why to do it is explained here, LCD TV Calibration.

I use Digital Video Essentials DVD, Spears & Munsil High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Edition and a Spyder3TV calibration puck and software, any of these will get you in the ballpark and calibrating from one source will improve all sources.

BTW: the Spyder pucks can be used with free user created software, HCFR Colormeter, which improves it's usefulness many times.
