Tv's lcd or led or plasma

[john s]

Getting a new tv next week i did post awhile ago about tv's. But im not sure what screen to get i have a plasma now should i stick with plasma or do the newer lcd tv's have better picture. Or what about the led tv's just like some more info before i buy one next week. Ive made my mind up its going to be a samsung but not sure what type of screen thanks for any input.

What I was told was to wait until this fall,. Samsung will be releasing their 3mm thick LED TV in Canada and this will drive down the current prices of the 1.5" ones.

I am waiting to get a 55in Samsung LED later this year,.. by then maybe their will be more 3D tv options.

I was in Visions last week and they had a 46" LED tv for $1900, but I want a 55" :d

I have a Sony LCD and like it, no glare like on the plasmas

i've got an lcd, and prefer them over plasma, but that said i have also been looking around a bit myself and the led's do have a much better picture.

but do yourself a favor and don't cheap out too much, take a good hard look side by side on a cheaper model versus one in the mid range and there is a pretty significant difference...........but i think the biggest thing is personal preference each has its own ups and downs.

happy shopping

i have a samsung 52" lcd (touch of color) and love it...also have 42" sharp aquos and its a great tv aswell just a little older had to jump on bandwagon and buy when lcd first came out.. was told if thinking of adding a gaming machine dont even think about plasma.

agree with plio 100% worth looking there is significant differences!

i have a sharp aquo's to and its good i want a 3d though.

Vizio is getting great reveiws. I have and like very much the Samsung products. If you get and LCD LED TV make sure it's full backlit LED and not just the perimeter type. In the LCD LED categoary Sharp Aquos is getting good reviews.

get an led or wait for the new ones to come out, the one thing i like about the leds is that the put off zero heat

For a dark room (i.e no natural lighing) and fast moving viewing ( action games , golf, baseball, hockey) they say plasma, For a bright room (with windows) LCD @ 120 Hz .

I have a 40" <biggest to fit over the fire place> Samsung 710, 240 hrtz. LCD and I absolutly love it !!!!! I am waiting for the 56 down stairs to chit the bed and buy one for the home theater... It has a graet pic. bright colors, and when watching something in HD you almost feel like you are there, the pic. is so crisp and clear...

i have the 60" sony lcd its awesome

 

[intmid8or!]

lcd, make sure you get min. 120hz, 240hz refresh is great!

also another vote for sharp aquos.

We have 2 plasmas (I know, not so helpful, but just wait!)
One is a Panasonic Vierra, the other is a Samsung not sure on the model.
I prefer the Vierra. The Vierra has a matte look screen, and I find that there almost no glare and reflections while you are watching TV. The Samsung has a glossy screen and I find that if you are watching during the day or with any lights on, there is a glare and reflections on the tv. We have a very bright house during the daylight hours- so it makes a big difference!

ALSO, Invest in the BluRay player that matches your TV - our Vierra BluRay player is so dummie proof, as soon as you pop in the DVD it it goes to the right input right away, and both remotes control both - so your not scrounging for the DVD remote all the time! LOL

I have a 58" samsung plasma 600hz and love it, if I was going to get a new one it would be a LED no question.

I also have a 37" LCD by vizio and for the price its unbeatable, great picture too.

I have a Pioneer 50" plasma in the basement (dark room). It rocks for watching sports and movies.
Very happy with it's performance over the last two years.

Hmm... Strange. Kevin had his before I came along, and we've been together for just about 3 years now - never had a problem.

But the point of my post was kind of aimed at the finish of the screen - make sure you choose one that is compatible with the room that the TV will be in!

IF it were me buying a new TV I'd tryout the LED - because it's the newest technology!

I agree my next TV will be the 3D

I saw a 50" LG plasma at Costco for $900, my dad has that TV and it is nice.
