getting a tv with a sensitive tuner

We are looking for a new tv for the TT. We have had several and each got a different number of OTA channels in the same location.
I understand there are different qualities of tuners IE more sensitive.
Looking at new tv's there is no sensitivity rating given anymore.
Does anyone know how to get a tv that will pick up the most stations in a fringe area ?
We just don't want to drop the $$ on a new tv and get it home to find, the picture is great, but we only get a couple channels.

    Best to be sure you have a good signal. Upgrade to a Winegard Sensar antenna, and a sensar Pro power supply/booster for the best. This combination will insure your best reception regardless of the TV. However, I have had great success with Visio or Samsung TVs from Walmart, and if it doesn't work well for you, they can be easily returned to the store. If you get one, test it our connected to your antenna before doing a full install. If it works as expected, continue, otherwise, return t and try another brand.
