HDTV,plasma,LCD differentiate?

Q.

A. plasma and LCD are both HDTV

Plasma: This new technology utilizes a unique display panel that alleviates the need for a cathode ray type picture tube. At the present time this type of TV is somewhat expensive. A major benefit of the plasma display is that it has been sized to accommodate new HDTV 16:9 aspect ratio's and is similar in pixel resolution to a personal computer monitor, thus allowing drastically improved picture clarity.

LCD: Liquid crystal display television is, as indicated by its name, a television using LCD technology (generally TFT), as opposed to cathode ray or plasma for its visual output.

HDTV: Regular NTSC signals have 525 lines of resolution. HDTV has 1125 lines of resolution having over five times the video information than that of a conventional NTSC-type TV set. In spite of its obvious advantages, transmission requires extraordinary bandwidth of five times the capacity of a conventional TV signal. TV receivers are estimated to be 30% more expensive than today's most costly sets.

Plasma technology has certainly achieved quite high contrast ratios, a measure of the blackest black compared to the whitest white. Many plasma display manufacturers boast a contrast ratio of 3000:1 these days though our tests have not proven these numbers out. Panasonic has long been the leader in plasma black levels and we measure contrast of a 42" HD Panasonic plasma at about ANSI 1450:1 - still impressive. Plasma displays achieve such impressive black levels by using internal algorithms to block the power to particular pixels in order to render a pixel "dark" or black. While this can limit a plasma television's gray scaling, it does produce exceptionally black blacks - depending on the manufactured plasma display element (i.e. glass). A plasma TV uses the most power when it is producing full white. As a result, some 2nd tier manufactured brands of plasma TVs have an audible buzz or whining sound when displaying white or very light images.

LCD (liquid crystal diode) displays, by contrast, utilize electric charges to twist and untwist liquid crystals, which causes them to block light and, hence, emit blacks. The higher the voltage passing through the liquid crystals in a given pixel, the more fully those crystals untwist and effectively block light - all of which makes these pixels darker. As opposed to plasma, LCD TVs use the most power when displaying a very dark or black image. This is a difficult process, and despite recent improvements in LCD black levels, only the best LCD televisions (like those produced by Sharp and Sony) have managed to topple the 1000:1 contrast ratio barrier. Recent improvements have brought LCD displays up to the level of plasma. The one continual drawback here for LCD is off axis viewing, when black levels consistently drop.


Blue Blob on my LG LCD HDTV. Problems and solutions?
Q. So I've got this LG HDTV, and its developing this blue blob in the center of the screen. It gets progressively worse. I cleaned the filter, and it was okay for about ten minutes, but then the blob is back. I don't know whats wrong, and I enjoy playing my PS3, but this blob is really bugging me. I bought it from Millard Electronics, as a refurb, so I don't think there's any warranty involved, so thats out of the question. Any suggestions?

A. LCD PROJECTION RIGHT?
Of couse, it has filters.....

Your blue blob is caused by red/green lcd panels taking a dump on you....they need replaced.

You can get a brand new LIGHT ENGINE or you can have it sent to PTS for a rebuild....

Either one will fix it. But you need to find a TV tech that knows of PTS and can pull the engine out for servicing....

I won't recommend any normal person pull the engine, it's way too complicated installing it again and getting a square/rectangle picture out of it....

Can a Wii ruin a 32 inch Sony Bravia L series LCD HDTV's picture quality?

Q. I know that an Xbox 360 and a PS3 are made for HDTVs, but what about a wii? I have a wii and am about to move in a 32 inch Sony Bravia TV into my room, but my uncle says a wii willl ruin it's picture quality. Please I really need help! Best answer to anyone with expierience!

A. I've heard rumours that leaving a picture on an LCD for too long burns it in, but I don't personally believe that. Games consoles are not designed to ruin picture quality on TVs. If they were, do you think they'd be half as popular?

Is Samsung a REALIABLE lcd hdtv brand?

Q.

A. I have had my Samsung LCD TV (46" 60Hz) for the last year or so and I couldn't be happier. For inputs I only have an aerial antenna and it is able to pick up the major networks in HD. The picture quality looks great. A friend of mine brought over his PS3 this past weekend and we through in a blu-ray. He said it the picture was a marked improvement over his LG (not sure the specs on his TV though).


Is VIZIO a good brand of LCD HDTV?
Q. I have $1500 budget to buy an HDTV, I prefer LCD 1020. I cannot decide which brand to choose.. SONY VIZIO or SAMSUNG?? Psl help me decide. Im looking for 40 in size.

A. Vizio is a third-tier brand. Parts are shipped from China made by other companies and they are assembled in LA and sold as 'house brands' in discount stores.

There is no repair service, quality on same model units varies a lot, etc.

The low prices ARE attractive but if it breaks - plan on tossing it and buying another.

Just below your post is another user who suddenly has lost video after leaving her Vizio on for 8 hours by accident.

While I am not a fan of service contracts - it might be a wise invesment for Vizio, Lutron, Dynex, Westinghouse, Robi, etc. brands.

after seeing the great graphics of the 360 & PS3, do you think these systems would last for 10 years?

Q. the PS4 and new XBOX being 2016 or beyond? i mean the next stop would be the final one since you cant go over photorealism
no, officialy the PS2 was only 6 years, because the PS3 came out in 2006. I dont care how long they make game for a system, some games for the dreamcast and neogeo are still being made after 18 years. i am talking about an official new system

A. Someone recently asked if it was really true that the ps4 and xbox720 would be released in 2010. Which is ridiculous. They might start work on a new xbox that soon, but it will take a long time to develop, and they won't likely call it xbox720, either, "720" only relates to snowboarders or skaters.

Both consoles were designed to satisfy the high-end HD market. Only a small percentage of people have HDTV's yet. After February 2009 that percentage will make a jump, but it will still be years before it even reaches the halfway point. Maybe 2013 or so.

Next, the xbox and ps3 are the limit of current home-pc processing technology. Processors reached their current, 2 to 3 ghz limit about 5 years ago, due to heat problems. A recent advance in chip technology will allow faster chips to be made, but it's not even close to being implemented yet. The xbox has 3 fast processors, and the ps3 has a staggering 7. That's about as many processors as you can put into a computer or console, and still have it be cost-effective and have developers making applications for it.

So the bottom line is basically, they CAN'T make the next generation yet. The technology it will have to involve is in its infancy, I doubt it will be implemented in time to save Moore's Law, maybe in big mainframes or servers it will be implemented in 2 or 3 years, but I think it will realistically hit PC's in about 2012 or 2013. Console developers need to see how it works in PC's before putting it in consoles, so giving them a couple years dev time would put the next generation around 2014 to 2016.

Now about that photorealism thing, I disagree, there's a lot more to do to make games more realistic and lifelike.

For one thing, most 3D games use classical rules of perspective, ignoring the way the world actually looks to your eyes. You don't see a rectangle in front of you, and you have much more peripheral vision too. If you turn quickly in a 3D shooter, straight lines often look curved. Devs have been making optical tricks to deal with this for a while, but there is much work to be done.

A couple years back, Sony showed off the first flexible LCD video screen. That's right, you could conceivably have a game system where the screen wraps around in a semicircle around you, or even a "virtual reality" room where the screen surrounds you. Games for such a system will be awesome and will take more than the next generation to handle

What do the good people of Yahoo Answers think?

A. It is definitely something i wish I could afford...The only problem I see here is that the power supply might not be enough for both those video cards. The 680 needs at least 550w and the 640 needs at 350w so, you need a better power supply for it. Other than that..it's a really good computer with tons of stuff.

Samsung LCD or LED 55"?

Q. LCD:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+55%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9293613.p?id=1218076081277&skuId=9293613&st=LN55B650&cp=1&lp=1

LED:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+55%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LED-LCD+HDTV/9234303.p?id=1218068137461&skuId=9234303&st=samsung%20led&cp=1&lp=4

Which one should I get? I'm unsure right now. I can get the LCD for $1599 or the LED for $2099.

Is LED really worth $500 more than LCD? All I know is that LED has a 3mil:1 contrast while LCD only has 100k:1. Other than that, I find them very similar towards each other in functions. Many people say the LED has a perfect picture quality. LCD is really good also, but not as good as LED. Will I really tell the difference?

A. LED provides blacker blacks and therefore a much higher contrast ratio. I would go to the store and look at the sets side by side and see if I thought the difference is noticeable enough to shell out the extra $500.

LED technology is "supposed" to approach the contrast of plasma sets, and supposedly does look better enough to pay the extra bucks, but that's according to the hype from the manufacturers. My theory is that if you can't SEE the difference, why pay for it. It's like asking advice on audio equipment from an audiophile!

Go look for yourself.


which is better: HDTV,plasma, LED or LCD?
Q. please give reasons why either is better

A. LCD is best I think. Thats what I got. 54 in.

Why? well, We were going to get a 55 in led, because they look amazing. But after we saw a demonstration, the colors are not real at all, and everything looks photoshoped, and animated. Well, as some might like that, I don't. I'd like to see things the way they are. The led colors arent true, and if you don't need an extremely thin tv, then lcd is perfect.

Plasma has glare where lcd doesn't. In plasma, if you leave one image on for too long, you may burn in the picture into your screen, which won't go away.

I guess people like different things, I chose LCD, and I love it. Still can't get enough of the great 54in quality from the latest Sony Bravia.

hope I answered your question.

Have a good day ; )

question about buying a new LCD-HDTV???

Q. planning to buy a new LCD- HDTV....which would be the best choice for that...and why do u think its best choice. market is full of so many different brands so its bit confusing for me to choose one ..please help ?? i wud appreciate ifu give answers with good explaination.......
thanks

A. The Final Word on HDTV by J.-

If you enjoy throwing $6400 out of the window of your car, then by all means, buy the plasma tv. If youre looking for a decent tv that will last your for a very long time, go with the LCD. While, plasma screen tvs do have a slightly better picture quality than LCDs, their(plasma) lifespans are only about 7-8 years, maximum. Most only last 5-6 years. Some people will try to bullsh** you by saying "Well, they havent been out for that long, how would you know." Well, I know, and so do the people that manufacture them, and so do the people that own them. Another point that you can make is the PS2/other game systems problem, on a plasma tv, if you leave a game system on for an extended period of time, images will become burned into the plasma screen. LCDs, while bulkier, do not have these problems. To me, people that own plasma screen tvs are just like the idiots who own hybrid cars, the only reason they buy them is so that they brag about it to their friends, in the event that the yuppie a-holes even have any. To be simple about it, if want to buy a good Hi-Def tv without spending a small fortune go with the LCD. If you have a couple of extra bucks to spend, I'd recommend DLP, but thats another story.

Now thats out of the way, if youre absolutely hell-bent on getting LCD screen then you have to go with Sony, no questions asked. I think that the vega gives you the biggest bang for your buck, but check it out, at this point in time theres not a huge cost difference between models, general speaking. In any event you want to make sure that you get a Sony. Next, having all of the HD monitors in the world won't do you a damn bit of good unless you have HDTV service. Below are your options:
Cable TV: Absolutely sucks. High cost, crappy picture quality and rather small amount of HD programming even available. Upside: Its HDTV for dummies, your ignorance is your bliss.

DirecTV: Excellent picture and quality at a decent price, however even DirecTV doesnt have a whole of programming in the way of HDTV. Also, I'm not a big fan of their HD technology, but thats just me talking, I'm kind of, well actually, very picky when it comes to TV.

Dish Network: At this point in time, Dish is probably the primo way to go for HDTV. They have excellent receivers/equipment at a fairly modest cost but more importantly they have more HD programming available than any one else on the Planet Earth. I shouldnt be saying this, given the fact that my cousin owns a DirecTV franchise, but what the hell do you care?

These are all options to mull over, but don't be an idiot when it comes to spending money on your TV setup. I promise, if you follow my advise you'll be more than happy.

-J.


What are LCD HDTV?
Q. I know what HDTVs are...but some HDTV doesn't have LCD. What's LCD?

A. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. It's one of the few technologies used for making displays/monitors/TVs. Other technologies include Plasma, Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), Projection, and a few others not yet ready for consumers.

As opposed to HDTV, which simply means any display with 1280x720 resolution or higher, usually with a digital TV tuner (but not necessarily a HD tuner).

So an LCD HDTV would be a Liquid Crystal Display with a resolution of 1280x720 or higher.

what's the difference led/lcd/hdtv and plasma?

Q.

A. LED TV is a marketing term, and really just causes confusion in the marketplace. The display technology is *still* the same LCD as the LCD TV you could have bought previously.

The difference is in the backlighting. LED TVs use LEDs (light emitting diodes) to light up the screen, compared with "standard" LCD TVs, which use CCFLs (Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamps) to light up the screen. LEDs produce better whites and lights than CCFLs. They're also much more compact, which accounts for the difference in thickness between the two styles of LCD.

Plasma TVs are a completely different technology, using electricity to create plasma from noble gases between 2 glass plates, which in turn create UV light that excites various phosphors which in turn produce light in the visible spectrum. Yes, it's that complicated. Many claim plasma produces truer colors than lcd, though I can't really tell the difference, personally speaking.


what is the differences between a LCD HDTV AND A LED HDTV?
Q. I was told that the shiny screen would not be good if I have lots of windows as it causes more reflections, is this true?

A. The LED that are out now such as the Samsung 6000 series television are still LCD tvs. The panel is an LCD panel and is almost exactly the same as the Samsung 650 series lcd. The major difference is that the backlight is different. The backlight in a standard lcd is a flourescant type of backlight while in a LED it uses Light Emitted Diodes to enhance the picture. An LED will have a higher contrast ratio (black to white level in turn effects colors) than a standard LCD.

what brand of lcd hdtv has the best repair history?
Q. I'm looking to buy a 52 inch LCD TV. What brand is most reliable? Also, what accessories do I need? Some people recommend the UPS instead of the expensive power surge protector.

A. Don't go by a single brand for your decision. You should look at specific models. Every brand makes stronger and weaker models. You want to get a good middle to high end model to best ensure you're getting the best parts.

All of the big name brands are going to be fairly comparable though reliability wise. Look to Panasonic (if you consider Plasma), Samsung, Sony, and LG. I think a set from any of those will serve you well from day of purchase until you're ready to buy again.

You likely want an HDMI cable, or two. Stick with no-name, generic brands. There are loads of consumer reports that have show the generic brands provide 100% equal quality as the big name, expensive options. Look to computer stores or online at like amazon.com, monoprice.com, bluejeanscable.com, etc. for good cheap cables. There's no need to spend more than $15 on a cable unless you're buying something of extreme length.

A UPS is handy to have sure, but we're not talking about needing to save documents here. UPS is good for a computer so the machine doesn't just turn off in a power outage. On your TV you just want to be worried about surge, so a good protector there is good enough really. Unless maybe the electricity in your area is really bad, in which case a UPS that also conditions the electricity might well be worth the investment.

Whats the difference between dynex 32"(dx-lcd32) and dynex 37"(dx-lcd37) lcd hdtv?

Q. I'm looking at the specs at BestBuy.com and I cannot find the Response time for the 37" Dynex. On the 32" it has a 8ms response time ample for gaming. I bought the 37 and it lags a bit with some of the games. And i was wondering if it had an 8ms response time too. It doesn't list it in the manual, on the dynex website or anywhere. Bottom line, What is the refresh rate for a dynex 37" lcd hdtv? (dx-lcd37)

A. 8ms is usually the minimum. dynex is a low quality hdtv, and although the 32" and 37" have different size panels the interio electronics are most likely very similiar ( it cheaper to use the same parts ) so i dont see a reason that dynex to change specs between sizes. so my educated guess would be it is 8ms. just so you know lcds as a whole have had problems with lag. especially with games. some dont show any lag at all , my 32" toshiba shows no lag. most of the higher quality name brands like panasonic, sharp toshiba sony samsung, do a better job at lag and have a better response time. but youpay for the quality. you get what you pay for in hdtvs. so in other words i see noreason it would not be 8ms. but that doesnt mean it wont lag. good luck


Best LCD 37" HDTV?
Q. Which is the best LCD HDTV for value and quality?

A. there is one tv i would recommend checking out at the 37 in. size...but before i mention those, might i recommend staying away from the 37 in. plasmas?

anyway, the phillips LCD with ambient light. The feature actually does not run up the price point (usually around $1500) and the picture is awesome. it's got a good contrast ratio - 4,000/1 i think - but is only 1080i/720p.

Will 1080p HDTVs price drop by JAN 2011?

Q. I missed out on 'BLACK FRIDAY' due to low funds and wanna know if I would get similar good deals on HDTVs by Jan of 2011? My Preference... 42"-46" 1080p 160hz to 240hz. Please honest answers only. Thanks!

A. LCD 1080P models every 6 month will drop about 5 %. as LCD TV soon will replace by LED TV.
in next 3 months , after Jan 2011 Mose of the OLD MODELS 1080P LCD TV -- very sure could be another 10 % to 16 % lower .some OLD LED models could be 5 to 8 % lower .
those local house brand ( off brand ) usually clear stock after year end,could be up to $ 200 to 300 Discount , but beware of " reliability "..
if you are looking for 120 HZ / 240 HZ 1080P consider High End products. such range LED TV may not getting good prices in next 3 months.
but very sure , you get good discount for 1080P big screen 120 / 240 HZ LCD TV after new year 01 01 2011 .


Should I get an LCD or LED-LCD TV?
Q. Hey everybody, I'm looking for a new TV in the 300-350 dollar price range (size between 24 and 39 inches). I'm not very tech-savvy, so I thought I'd ask for some input on this. Just looking at BestBuy's website I see that there are LED LCDs now (probably have been around for awhile, but like I said I don't really keep up with this stuff). I've looked around online, and it seems to be that the LEDs are easier on the power bill, which is a big plus for me since I'm a grad student. But they are a little more expensive (though if it will pay off in the utilities as time goes on, I don't mind paying a little more). I'm just wondering if someone can tell me about any major differences quality-wise? Does one have a crisper, cleaner picture than the other, brighter colors, deeper blacks, all that good stuff? If someone wouldn't mind telling me about their experiences and opinions I'd appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

A. Plasma has the best picture overall with deepest blacks and many specs, with great deals too. Also the best TV's of 2011 in top 5 are plasma on Cnet. But it looks like you want a small HDTV and plasma's smallest size is 42 inches. I recommend just go with LCD because LED is the same thing. Go to best buy and I think LG has 32 inch 720p LCD's for 300. I recommend 720p because at 32 inches you won't notice a benefit for 1080p. I have a 46 inch plasma at 1080p which looks amazing and even the 720p channels that come through satellite look amazing. LG is a good LCD brand and will save you $$.

Which is better a 42" LCD HDTV or a 42" Plasma HDTV? Why is it better?

Q.

A. This question has been asked many times, so I've formulated my standard answer. Here it is:

Picture quality of plasma is brighter, better color, better blacks than LCD. (There is something about looking directly at glowing phosphors!)

Sharpness is the same for equivalent pixel counts. Some newer LCDs have 1080 x 1920 resolution, most plasmas still in the 720 x 1280 range.

Plasma is heavier and uses more power than flat panel LCD.

There are reports that plasmas are not as reliable or they don't last as long, but that is no longer true with the latest models. Plasma phosphors dim slowly over time (but nt as fast as CRT phosphors); but direct view LCDs use flourescent lamps which also dim and eventually burn out (some are replaceable). Projection LCD sets have bulbs of limited life, but are replaceable and the lifetime is a few thousand hours of viewing.

Plasmas are subject to burn-in. A stationary image left on the screen for a long time could produce a permanent ghost image. The most risk is when viewing a lot of 4:3 ratio pictures (non-HD), which are displayed with vertical dark areas on the left and right to fill in the wide screen. There are ways to minimize this, however. many sets have a "stretch" mode which widens the picture to fill the whole screen.

Plasmas come in largers sizes, although large flat panel LCDs are coming out, but they are expensive. LCD projectors can be 70".

LCD contrast and brightness can be reduced when viewing from off-center (both flat and projector, but sets will vary).


Vizio GV42L 42" HDTV LCD settings?
Q. I just bought a Vizio GV42L 42" LCD HDTV. Just a few questions:
1) what settings have you used for cable programming and/or movies, as I hear to get good picture you really need to tweak it right.
2) I have my comcast HD DTS box and progressive scan DVD player connected to the Vizio using component cables. When I'm watching an HD channel, it does look HD, and when I'm watching a DVD It does look much higher quality than typical analog cables..However, when I press the info button. It still says resolution coming it at only 480i. Should I be concerned and/or try using HDMI cables instead?
~Gavin Ng

A. I ran into this problem with my Samsung LCD.. the Cox Cable HD box wasn't automatically converting the signal to 1080i. You'll have to go into the settings of your cable box and manually switch it to 1080i... I ran through a setup process that it displays a bunch of screens and which ever one you can see it programs the box to use ...after that it automatically switched between the 1080i for the HD channels and lower 720/480 for the non HD channels.

Call your cable provider.. thats what i did to figure out the setup program.

Sony Bravia 32" Class LCD 1080p 60Hz HDTV, KDL-32EX400?
Q. Can this television, or any other 1080p television, be hooked up to basic cable? i'm mainly interested in using this television for gaming, and i feel basic cable should be sufficient on it because i wont be watching a whole lot of television.

A. is one of the great Sony 32 inc full HD 1080P LCD TV.
keep in mind .
KDL-32EX400 as an STANDARD 1080 P models. 60 HZ refresh rate. is general good for movies.
however , 60 HZ refresh rate is not really good for any fast moving image - sports movies - game.
the motion blur may cause you eye uncomfortable from game - fast action image.
for gaming, you need 120 HZ refresh rate to cover / hide away the motion blur. make more smooth pictures .
i cannot said the KDL-32EX400 is bad. is great for general. but not suited for gaming.
for gaming , seriously consider Sony 32 inc with 120 HZ refresh rate models.
there is few models.

Which is best LCD or HDTV?

Q. Which has the clearest picture?

A. I believe you are misunderstanding your own question. You can get a LCD TV with out HD, but you can't get HDTV without it either being LCD or plasma.

A LCD HDTV are very nice. I have a Sony 40in. that is a LCD HDTV.


Questions:LCD HDTV ?!?!?
Q. 1.I have a 40 inch Bravia LCD tv. It says it has Full HD 1080 does that mean its a HDTV ?
2.How would you know if something is an LCD HDTV or just a LCD TV ?

A. any tv that can display images at and above 720p resolution (meaning 720p, 1080i, and 1080p) are all HDTV's, (high definition tv's).

there has never been a regular definition LCD tv. all standard def tv's are tube crt tv's. every lcd is a high def tv, it's just that it would be a 720p hdtv, or a 1080p hdtv.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value for the Money. Great Picture., April 3, 2009
By M. Barnes (Santa Rosa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
(NOTE: GET THE FIRMWARE UPDATE FROM SONY'S WEBSITE TO UPDATE TO ER3.84-D828 SOFTWARE VERSION. IT IS A MUST TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE ADVANCED CONTRAST ENHANCER FEATURE!!) I picked up this TV a couple weeks ago and wanted to really wait and see how it looked before I reviewed it. I replaced an older Sony Hi-Def LCD rear projection 1080i model. The older TV had a good picture, but OMG, the difference is like day and night. I have used it for an XBOX360, a PS3 and with Dish Network Hi-Def receiver/DVR. The standard def is better than most of the other LCD's I looked at but as with all you can see the flaws of the SD picture. This one looks better than most for SD though. First off I'm not sure about the HDMI color space issue another reviewer was talking about, as I did not experience that with my XBOX360 (EDIT: THIS ISSUE DOES EXIST WHEN SETTING THE XBOX360 TO SOURCE OR AUTO. SPECIFY THE COLOR SETTINGS EITHER RGB OR YCBCR AND IT'S FINE) . I have it set to ycbcr and it looks AMAZING! Just make sure and set to ycbcr709 for HD for movies and RGB for games. The PS3 also looks INCREDIBLE! This TV had all the features I wanted and has delivered higher performance and picture than expected. The one thing I was worried about was the fact that it has an 8-bit LCD panel, rather than a 10-bit panel. I was really worried it would have banding or "paint by number" effects. I picked up a copy of Digital Video Essentials (DVE) HD Basics on Blu-Ray to calibrate the TV and to my surprise it included a test for checking for slow processing and for color banding "paint by number" effects. This TV was able to reproduce a perfect gradation in both color and gray scale with ABSOLUTELY no banding or "paint by number" effects whatsoever! I was really impressed. According to DVE an 8-bit panel should be able to do this as long as the processing board is fast enough and good enough quality. These problems are more due to the processing than an 8-bit panel according to DVE. The 10-bit is not necessary if you have adequate processing. After more research I have found that, that is why most higher end manufacturers, like Sony have started using 8-bit panels again in most but their very high end models. After calibrating this TV with DVE the picture is far better than I had ever hoped for, with great black levels and extremely vibrant, true to life color. The off angle viewing is exceptional. The picture morphs a little from extreme side view due to the flat screen, but the contrast and brightness even from almost sideways is awesome! On the last note, the Dish Network receiver/DVR looks great as well. Any problems with the picture was due to the signal from the receiver and not the TV itself. All the HD channels have some compression and it shows, but wouldn't matter how good the TV is for that. DVD, Blu-Ray, XBOX350 and PS3 have absolutely the best picture I have seen on any other LCD. They only thing that could be as good or better is Plasma, but I really wanted a Sony and they only make LCD's now. I am very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this TV for anyone. The matte finish is great as I have a lot of ambient lights and side windows in my living room. The only other TV I was considering was the Samsung and the highly reflective, glossy screen just would not work for me. Other than that, the Samsung had an INCREDIBLE picture as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, March 19, 2009
By Kevin J. Landymore (San Diego, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Just picked this up yesterday from the local BB to replace my aging 7 year old Sony 46" rear projection 1080i set with this puppy...

Now that we get MotionFlow @ 120hz on the V series I think this set is a no brainer. If I had the money I would probably choose this over the XBR anyways because i think it's a good value and I honestly can't tell the difference between this and the XBR. I just had to pop in Planet Earth on the PS3 and watch the bird scene from the beginning of Pole to Pole and it's like going from SDTV to HDTV all over again how sharp everything looks now.


Which TV should I get RCA or Insignia? Both are 46" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV?
Q. Both are 46" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV
If you have to pic one which would it be?
There's a 100 dollar difference for the RCA.

A. BOTH BRAND ARE UNRELIABLE TV.
Insignia are local in house trademarks / brand. TV only sold un USA. all products is by small TV maker in China. use low prices / Low quality parts. failure rate is high. up to 20 % in 3 years. 15 % of TV getting power supply problems in 2 years.you can get the same TV sold in third world countries under other buyer brand .* Some Insignia TV may use LG Korea made LCD display Panel , but sales people told you TV is by LG , beware of this )
RCA . world NO 1 in TV during 60s / 70s . however the USA no 1 Electronics trademark / brand sold to Thomson SA France around 1996 . and Thomson group sold the BRAND name - RCA to China TCL group . all RCA TV manufactures by China TCL. you able to get the same model sold under TCL brand in China or under other Buyer brand in third world countries. because is cheap. but unreliable.
you MAY not need a quality TV. in you mind , just a good TV within you budget.but keeps send TV for repair is FREE during warranty ( even 3 years warranty ) , but case transport / shipping charge and MAY with out TV from 1 to 4 even 6 weeks. because of quality. MAY need to replace LCD display panel in 3/4 years. beware of this issue. ( it make you mad ).
Worth to Paid more for International Brand for quality ( even you don't need ) + reliable ( you need ) .
Samsung and LG TV in quality and reliable .failure rate is 2 % max 3 % in 6-8 years.
there manufactures by own from end to end. use own made LCD display panel. designs back up by 40 years experience R & D team.quality always in control.even TV from Samsung China / Malaysia // LG China. but the oversea factory is 100 % OWN.
Insignia and RCA TV . take high risk . !! try not .
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
46 inc big screen . Panasonic Plasma is the best in quality and prices. Plasma always with out motion blur. true / deep dark colours . much better display quality than standard LCD TV. New Panasonic Plasma technologies make easy burn in / over heat not an issue any more. life time is 60,000 hours as good as LCD TV ( better life time than Insignia.RCA LCD TV ) . go for Panasonic 46 ins Plasma TV . best quality . great reasonable prices compare to same screen LCD.

46 in LCD HDTV or a 50 in Plasma HDTV. Same price. Which is a better choice?

Q. Viewing distance is about 10 feet max.

A. Even though Plasma HDTVs have a great picture at first, after a while the picture starts to dim and they have to be "re-gassed" by a qualified technician which costs around $350 and up according to brand/size. (That is why the "service contract" is so expensive for them). If and when I purchase another HDTV, it will be an LCD.


is a vizio lcd tv better than a sanyo?
Q. I was thinking of getting a new tv to play my PS3 and obviously watch tv. Bet i was wondering what would be a better brand of tv to buy.
A Sanyo 50" 720p 60Hz Plasma HDTV -OR- a Vizio 42" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV.

here are the links (yes im planning to buy them from walmart :D)

Sanyo: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10929993
Vizio: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10993796

A. 1 ) Plasma vs LCD.
Plasma excellent for color reproduction .deep true black and dark color .almost 0 response time , 600 HZ refresh rate with out any motion blur ,well-suited for moving movies .especially sports programs / games. Plasma only available in 42 inc and above big screen , and compare to same screen size Hi End LCD TV, Plasma TV much lower in prices. those SMART consumer's " return to Plasma for prefect pictures quality and paid less in prices. because New Plasma technologies make great difference . life time 60,000 hours same as LCD display. easy " burn in " in not an issue any more. all new Plasma is energy star qualified.
http://www.smarthouse.com.au/TVs_And_Large_Display/Plasma/W3U2A3U7
2 ) LCD TV, due to response time , there must be " motion blur ".high refresh rate-120 HZ even 240 HZ able to " hide away " the motion blur, it not totally cut it off, just make more comfortable to human eye. non of any LCD display provide deep / true dark and black color. an Hi End LCD TV cost more than Plasma TV, but unable to provide same pictures quality.even just standard HD 720P Plasma TV able to display prefect quality than fell HD 1080 P LCD TV.
Vizio vs Sanyo .
Vizio is USA local trademark , products only for USA / CANADA market .
Vizio USA is not an manufactures , is TRADING COMPANY. all TV is supply by Taiwan Amtrans , and designs also made in China by other TV maker., Vizio is no 1 quantity sold TV brand for the pass 4 years, because of PRICES also some people " THINK " Vizio is " made in USA ". or " designs in USA " even Vizio is by Sony or LG ... read the link below !
http://www.forbes.com/2009/05/21/taiwan-vizio-amtran-exports-lcd-tv.html?feed=rss_business
Vizio is BEST for BUDGET, subject to quality.
Sanyo .
Sanyo don't make quality TV ! Sanyo Products just okay , not great . compare to other Japan manufactures , Sanyo TV is " low class ".
however , all that become history, since Panasonic totally take over Sanyo Japan , starting around early 2008 , but on " paper : is Nov 2008. Panasonic 100 % control Sanyo Group, there share the TV R & D and designs teams now. use mose of the same parts. Sanyo new Plasma TV is Panasonic Plasma technologies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanyo
New Sanyo Plasma TV use Panasonic made Plasma display panel , Worl best HD TV--Pioneer also use the same display panel and manufactures by Panasonic ( after may 2009 )
http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/12/22/panasonic-officially-owns-sanyo-and-boasts-the-worlds-largest-plasma-panel-plant-now/
http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/63288357.html?elr=KArks7PYDiaK7DUHPYDiaK7DUiacyKUnciatkEP7DhUr
^^^^^^^^^^^^
i should said because of products quality also prefect for pictures display , no reason not for you to own an Sanyo Plasma !

samsung hdtv un46C, un46D, or UN46E?

Q. What's the difference between the C, D, and E? All I want is sick picture and sound. I don't care for extra features this TV will simply be used to play videogames and watch a movie every now and then

A. A quick explanation of the Samsung serial numbers:

Part 1, the display technology: UN = LED, LN = LCD, PN = plasma
Part 2, the size: easy to recognize, it's 46-inch
Part 3, the series: D6000, ES8000, C7000, loads of variations. The C series are from 2010, D is from 2011, E(S) is from 2012. The number indicates the specs/features.

A few examples: UN46Cxxxx is a 46-inch LED screen from 2010, a PN55Dxxxx is a 55-inch plasma from 2011. A UN55D7000 has the same features as a UN46D7000, just a bigger screen.

Over the last years, image quality improved but not as fast as new fancy features were added. If you don't need gesture control, internet access, smart TV features and apps, a HDTV from 2010 would be perfectly fine, the irony is that most of them are more expensive now that the new 2012 ones. The UN46C6500 for example costs about $1.4k, the UN46ES6500 slightly more than $1k.

Bottom line: My recommendation would be the UN46EH6000. No 3D, no unneeded features, but 240Hz refresh rate, decent image quality, 2x HDMI, 1x USB, Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby Pulse, barely more than $800 for a perfect "basic" HDTV. Sick sound? All modern flatscreen HDTVs have built-in 10-20 watt speakers. That's far from perfect, no matter what manufacturer you look at, these thin little speakers can't do wonders. Some sort of home theatre kit is definitely recommended for all audiophiles.


Which is better LG or Samsung Plasma for 2012 Models?
Q. I decided to buy entry level 50" Plasma TV, and please don't say just buy LED because it's out of my budget and i see that the colors of Plasma is good for me. i found these 2 models: Samsung PS51E450 and LG 50PA4500. so which is better and which has the best contrast, brightness and vibrant colors LG or Samsung

PS: My local store has only these two 50" Plasmas and i saw the LG picture quality but unfortunately the Samsung isn't in the Showroom and that's why I'm asking this question.

A. LG 42LM6200 42-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD HDTV with Smart TV is the best, was a Samsung fan and then far, referable to the price for the LG quality I will straight off actuate to LG. Heavy it works in 240V equally substantially then can pack with me if I run out of US. UPDATE: The skype app is non usable for this TV until lg release a novel Skype camera�

Whats the best 42" flat screen tv for around $800?

Q. i am gonna be buying a new tv soon, i will be using it for Media (dvd's,Blueray and games) i want a 1080P tv for my Xbox 360 and PS3 i don't understand what Hz are on a tv either

A. For that price and size TV, you need a Plasma TV! LCD is too expensive for that size!

Plasma TVs have been picture qualities anyway! Plasma TVs have the highest "native" contrast ratios(40,000:1), giving them the blackest blacks and most vivid and rich looking colors! They also have the fastest response times(.001ms) and fastest refresh rates(600hz)! Making them the best at producing the sharpest and smoothest motion possible with content like sports, movies & gaming!

This is a great deal on a awesome TV!

Panasonic 42" 1080p(TC-P42S1): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Panasonic+-+VIERA+/+42%22+Class+/+1080p+/+600Hz+/+Plasma+HDTV/9317287.p?id=1218084032650&skuId=9317287

Also a awesome TV!

Comparable LCD TVs(barely):

LG 42" 1080p: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG+-+42%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9246737.p?id=1218067378936&skuId=9246737
Philips 42" 1080p: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Philips+-+42%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9578664.p?id=1218129863461&skuId=9578664

Hz for a TV refers to the rate at which the TV displays a frame of an image. So if a TV is 60hz, it displays a frame 60 times a second! 120hz...120 times a second and so on!

Hope this helps!

are these good tvs? im planning to get one of these at walmart since i get a discount. are these good or can i find better? and which of the 2 is better and why??

A. Philips use to be No 1 in TV. but times change. Philips LCD TV is not so great since 15 years ago, when Philips TV section HQ move to Singapore , also Philips and LG Korea JV to manufactures LCD Display panel ( from Sep.2008 Philips given out JV ,sold to LG ). Philips TV now are also link with China Konka and TCL group for LCD TV designs/productions.Those TV sold under Philips brand in North America is all made in Thailand by Funai electric. compare to other Worldwide Brand ,Philips TV is the mose lower class/quality . Sharp TV always in great quality. Sharp made own LCD display panel in Japan.Sharp is world lagers LCD Display panel manufactures since 13 years ago . even Sony 40 inc above size screen LCD panel is from Sharp ( Sony did not made own LCD display panel ). Sharp TV is great in pictures quality and reliable . go for the LC-42SB45U-w never go wrong. * Samsung is one of the great TV in the market.so call " cheap and good ", Sony also great,but over prices. **

Question about led HDTV?

Q. Hello everyone!

I just have a question about my tv. I have a Vizio HDTV I bought just in February. (The e261va to be exact.) and I mostly play my Xbox 360 on it through an hdmi cable. It's only 720p, Don't get me wrong, the picture is perfect! It has incrediable color and contrast and everything runs smoothly.

but there is just one thing bothering me. When I look through my iPhones camera at the tv there are vertical lines going through it. With all my other hd Tvs this doesn't happen. I was just wondering if this is showing signs of wear, or am i just being nitpicky or just something that happens with this TV. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

A. LED backlit/edgelit LCD TVs dim the backlight brightness using PWM, which is pulse width modulation, that is the LEDs are actually flashing full on and off faster than you can see.

This has 2 benefits:
1. The flashing helps mask the natural LCD blur or smearing.
2. This method of dimming LEDs (full current then no current) is more energy efficient than dimming them via a constant reduced current.


Would an LED or LCD HDTV be better?
Q. For gaming and blue ray.

A. First, unless it is an OLED, "LED" and LCD are the same thing. They both have LCD panels, the ones called just LCD have cold cathode fluorescent lamps for the backlight, LED obviously uses LEDs for the backlight.

And there is no "E" in Blu-ray Disc, which is the proper spelling and capitalization.

What is more important is the panel type, like TN, VA, or IPS. A spec they usually don't specify. A VA or IPS panel with fluorescent backlight is better than a TN with LED backlight. that said my Vizio M260MV is an LED edge type backlit TN 1080p LCD and I love it for Blu-ray and gaming. I typed this on it as my computer monitor.

what is 240hz lcd hdtv?
Q. My new 240 lcd hdtv has it and I notice that my cable box connection is 60hz with 1080i resolution. Is this a related/requirement issue? Is the cable box limited to 60hz or? can my new HDTV EVER be capable of using the 240 (or other newer HDTV with 120hz).Is this just a marketing scheme if most cable connections can't go beyond 60? Some satellite companies I hear may be capable. Please help me understand this issue and what if anything I am loosing if anything? Tks

A. 120Hz and 240Hz are the new buzzwords in LCD TV technology. We are often asked exactly what this means and what effect it has on you, the viewer. Let's get a few technical terms out of the way first to make this easier to understand.

Hertz (Hz) � Hertz is a a unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. If you were to think of the Hertz rate of turning a light switch on and off, 1Hz would be turning the light on and off, 1 time in 1 second.

Refresh Rate � In televisions and monitors, refresh rate is the number of times the screen is redrawn in one second. It is expressed in hertz (Hz). A TV with a refresh rate of 60Hz redraws the screen 60 times per second.

Frame Rate � Moving pictures are actually a series of still images that are displayed quickly in succesion to give the appearance of motion. Frame rate is the number of still images displayed in one second, it is often expressed as frames per second (fps). Video in the NTSC format is displayed at 29.97 frames per second (25 fps for PAL and SECAM) and film is shot at 24 frames per second.

3:2 pulldown � Above we can see that video on your television is displayed at 29.97 frames per second and movies are shot on film at 24 frames per second. This creates a problem if you want to view something shot on film on a television. There are nearly 5 frames missing from the conversion. To solve this problem a process called 3:2 pulldown is used to convert the film into something you can watch on your TV. This is done by adding extra frames to the film to fill in the extra space. For example, if we have 4 frames of video denoted as ABCD it would be converted to video by adding an extra frame to the 4 film frames (ABBCD). This results in what is known as "judder".

Judder � A visual artifact that results when converting film content to video. It is most often seen as what appears to be jerky camera movement where there should be smooth panning.
24p � 24p is simply video content running at 24 frame per second, just like film.
120Hz/240Hz LCD TVs Displaying Film Content

A little math and the above explanations show the advantages of displaying film content on a screen with a 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate. Most LCD TVs have a refresh rate of 60Hz. 24 does not go into 60 without a remainder so 3:2 pulldown and it's resulting judder is required to display film content on a TV redrawing the screen 60 times a second. On the other hand, 24 goes into 120 or 240 evenly so film can be displayed at it's native frame rate eliminating judder.

Most Blu Ray players can output content at 24p so with this and a 120Hz/240Hz LCD TV you will be seeing an accurate number of frames when watching film content.

Which HDTV type is better, Plasma or LCD?
Q. I was orginally going to stick with a front projector but i've told that those have bad image quality (tell me if this is true or not and explain). They said get a HDTV that is not a Front Projection. So I am wondering what would work best for my need LCD or Plasma?

My Situation/needs are:

1. I want to be able to play my 360 in 1080p format, which is best at doing this?

2. Which will last the longest without any repairs or anything else of the sort?

Enviromental conditions:
I live in wisconsin near madison so I don't think high altitude is a problem. Plus it will be in our basement so even if it is hot out the fact that its a basement will keep it cooler. It generally isn't too humid but can be some days.
Please say more than just an opinion. In other words don't just say "plasma" or "LCD" because I want to know more behind it than your opinion.

A. LCD flatscreens are a lot lighter than Plasma TVs which weigh over a 100 lbs. Nevertheless, LCD flatscreens may have limited viewing angles and can suffer from dead pixels. Here are some LCD TVs [which are highly rated by Consumer Reports]; all are 52 inch models: Samsung LN-T5265F ($3,500); Sharp Aquos LC-52D82U ($3,500) & 47 inch LG 47LB5D ($2,500).

While Plasma TVs are very suspectible to ghosting which is the result of having a fixed image inadvertently left on the screen for a long period of time. This fixed image will literally remain as a ghost image backgrounded to the screen. Usually the solution is to install a floating screen savers which is activated when the screen is not active. Here are some plasma TVs [which are highly rated by Consumer Reports]; all are 50 inch models: Panasonic TH-50PX75U ($2,300) and Hitachi P50H401 ($2,300).

And then there are rear projection LCD's and DLP's which use mirror panels and color wheels to filter and project a very large screen image [ranging from 65" to 72" diagonally measured]. The major concern is replacement cost of lamps which usually cost between $200 - $300 and last any number of hours depending on how the TV is shut off. Failing to properly shut down either LCD or DLP units which involves leaving on the main fan running for some 20 minutes -- will result in early failure of projection lamps. And there's the added concern regarding the use of "organic" material which make up the LCD panels/mirrors and usually causes the blue panel to fade over a period of time. So you may have to look forward to purchasing a new LCD projection TV. But getting back to DLP projection TV, there is the issue of viewers seeing the dreaded "rainbow effect" which are color flashes appear in highly contrasty dark scenes. Their sighting can cause headaches and is quite annoying to the viewers. And a possible cure is to choose a color wheel which operates faster than 3X; say 4X which seems to be the threshold speed that virtually eliminates the rainbow effect. Here are some LCD/ DLP rear projection TVs [which are highly rated by Consumer Reports]; 62 inch LCD Toshiba 62HM196 ($2,800); and 56 inch DLP Toshiba Cinema Series 56HMX96 ($2,500).

Please read the following discussion since the opinion "they said, get a HDTV that is not Front Projection" is not relevant!

And finally, we should also consider the "ultimate, best" TV technology: "Front Projection."

You may well want to check out another technology: DLP front projection which produces a movie-like experience of HD television, DVDs, videos and games. And according to Consumer Reports, "front projection has a superior image -- better than CRT's, LCDs or plasma."

Check out the reviews for a "92" DLP generated [front projection] TV image at amazon.com by submitting the search query: "Infocus SP4805.*" There are any number of customer submitted pictures of projected HDTV image(s) along with other high-quality regular DVD-movie images projected on bare white wall surfaces. And the price for a refurbished ScreenPlay 4805 is about $___** with lamps costing around $330 which will last around 4,000 hours. Also check out various reviews at Consumer Reports [November 2005 & December 2006] in which front projection is rated "superior" to plasma, lcd.

What is the best 32 Inch LCD HDTV?
Q.

A. Panasonic VIERA C12 Series TC-L32C12 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV is one of the best TVs under $500 you can find on the market. I did a LOT of research looking for what I wanted in a TV. I've been wanting a nice flatscreen for a while now. I've been holding out as and quality has been improving while prices have been dropping. I finally settled on this Panasonic.

I wanted a TV for primarily movies (Hi Def and standard or upconverted Def) and video games (Hi Def and standard def). I do not have a cable subscription and am not interested in HD cable services. That being said, I also wanted a TV that would double as a humongous PC monitor. I'm pleased to say this TV meets and exceeds my needs so far. It's a big upgrade from the 20 inch tube TV I was using before the VIERA.

The LCD TV is nice looking and has a variety of cable inputs. Both the remote and menu systems are top-notch and useful. This TV puts out true 720p resolution and has 4:3 ratio (standard, full-frame) and zoom scaling as well. For TVs 32 inches and under, 1080p (while nice) is not necessary, as you'd be hard pressed to notice a dramatic difference with your HDMI or component sources. The picture is super sharp, and the image control available with this TV is pretty impressive. You can really play with the picture and color. I was laughing at the ability to essentially reproduce that 60's Technicolor supersaturation if you want. It really brings films to life. You can make up to 4 preset color choices, too- One for films, one for sports or live action TV, one for video games, one for kid's cartoons, etc, etc.
I would highly recommend this TV.

My Dad is getting a 65 inch Sony LCD HDTV, what TV Stand is Best?!?

Q. He likes the Idea of the TV Stands with the Integrated Flat-Panel Mount.
I like this idea, Too!

But how many HDTV Stands with Flat-Panel Mounting can Hold a 65 inch LCD?!?

Here is an Example of what I mean:
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=A2870011&cs=19&c=us&l=en&st=ena%20data%20feed&dgc=ST&cid=25689&lid=584388&acd=43645,4,283221,0,710063377,1259739827,,0,0#Overview

What he Needs, is something that Doesn't take up too much more Floor Space, compared to his 9-year-old 53" Projection TV. His 53" seams to be Smaller at the Bottom, than the Screen-Area. About 3-ft. Wide on the Floor.

It Doesn't have to have the Integrated Flat-Panel Mount to hold-up the TV. It just Looks better.
He wan't one with Good Cable-Management, so his Cables aren't Exposed to much.
Right now, all the Cables are Pretty-well Hidden behind his 53" Sony Projection TV.

Other than the HDTV Stand I have in the Link above, what Other Stands are Out there that can Hold the Sony KDL-65W5100 ?!? (Yes, it's Huge)
No, people!

There ARE Stands for TV's of this Size!

I'm Asking about one that Holds-up the TV, from the Rear!
Didn't you guys check-out my Link??!??
You first 2 guys don't get out much.

Mitsubishi makes an 82" DLP!
I've seen it in Best Buy & HH Gregg.
65" HDTV's have been around since the HDTV came out in Projection Form! <:P
Anon, if you don't know anything, Don't Bother Answering.
'Wow, just wow', how stupid are you?!?

A. Well why don't you get that stand then? I have one similar to that and it also offers a little cable so that if it tends to be front heavy, the cable offers support to keep it to the wall.

this is another one I found but its a corner mounting system
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11961598

those are pretty good systems to use unless you do what the first poster said, just mount it on the wall and buy an extra entertainment bookcase to store all the electronics in


I'm looking for a new HDTV,I wanted an LCD, but I want a TV larger than 60 inches. What do you recommend?
Q. If there is an LCD HDTV that is 60 inches to 65 inches that would be great, but I also want a quality TV. Are there any HDTVs over 60 inches? If not which would be my next best choice? Anything smaller would just not be suitable in my living room because the TV is far from everything else. Thanks in advance

A. There are several 60- to 65-inch flat-panel LCD HD monitors and TVs available (see the HDTV Solutions resource listed below.) However, other than Sharp�s LC65D64U and Olevia�s 265T FHD HDTVs, they are quite expensive, especially when compared to the more cost-effective, large screen alternatives such as plasma displays and front projection systems.

Within a fairly reasonable price range for the 57- to 65-inch class of flat panel displays I recommend that you give strong consideration to models from Panasonic (model TH-58PZ800U) and Pioneer (models PRO-151FD or PDP-6010FD.) As a distant choice you may want to take a look at the Samsung PN63A650 and PN58A650 plasma HDTVs, perhaps even models from Hitachi and LG Electronics.

For close to the price of a high quality, high performance, large screen flat-panel (plasma) display you can purchase a much more versatile, arguably better performing, front projector IF you have the ability to reasonably control the ambient light in your viewing environment. If you choose to go this route then you will have a multitude of good, cost-effective choices that will allow you to obtain a high quality, theater-like video image in the 65- to 100-inch size range. My top choice/recommendation is JVC�s DLA-RS2U D-ILA (LCoS) projector followed by JVC�s DLA-RS1X and DLA-HD100 D-ILA projectors with honorable mention going to Sony�s VPL-VW60 (great performer but not much light output hence a smaller-than-average screen size is best) and Epson�s Home Cinema 1080 UB and Pro Cinema 1080 UB 3LCD projectors. There are also several good (single-chip) DLP projectors that may also be worth considering particularly if ambient light control is an issue, in which case you should take a close look at Optoma�s impressive HD81-LV projector. It�s also worth noting that several of these home theater projectors can be used with an aftermarket anamorphic lens/prism attachment* (Schneider Optics, Panamorph, or the do-it-yourself CAVX Aussiemorphic Lens kit) to project an immersive, theater-like 2.35:1 video image when watching movies.

There is one notable drawback with a projection system, especially if you will be using such a system for all of your day-to-day television viewing, and that is the cost of maintenance; specifically the cost of periodic relamping. If you are able to keep your viewing environment sufficiently light-free, thereby allowing you to run the projector more conservatively in terms of light output, then you may be able to extend the relamping intervals saving yourself money.

Whats the best quality TV LCD HDTV or Plasma HDTV?

Q. also whats the diffrence?

A. Plasma will provide you better color, truer blacks, and better contrast. Plasma has a near instantaneous response time, so it handles fast motion playback flawless (inherent to the technology, like a CRT or DLP). Plasma will give you a better overall image.

Plasma only suffers from myths and misconceptions. Plasma no longer suffers from burn-in. Plasma works at high altitudes. Plasma does not have a short life-span (most are 60,000-100,000 which is equal or better than any LCD). Plasma models are not all energy hogs, many are energy star certified now.

LCD is the everyman HDTV. In the past it was cheaper (not the case anymore). It is better "known" because of LCD computer monitors. And in the past it was better in terms of energy consumption (again not always the case now).

LCD is inherently flawed in fast motion playback. It suffers from motion blur (ghost trails). This is compensated for with 120Hz and 240Hz refresh rates. This helps a lot, but doesn't fix the problem entirely. Also you are having to pay a heavy price premium for this feature.

LCD colors, blacks, and contrast are weaker than a Plasma because of its CCFL lighting source. LCDs have tried to correct this with the new LED based LCDs. The LED lighting source provides colors, blacks, and contrast that are more towards the Plasma line. But again you have to pay a huge price premium for this (so much so that a Plasma becomes far cheaper).

But, all that being said, TV size matters. The advantages of Plasma, of 1080p, of 120Hz/240Hz, of LED, all become more apparent as you break 40" and moreso 50". In sets of 37" and smaller the advantages aren't as easy to see (if noticeable at all). So in those sized sets a 'basic' LCD is actually the way you want to go.

For Plasma stick with Panasonic. They make amazing Plasma sets and will give you great image quality bang for the dollar. If that doesn't suit you for whatever reason you can settle with Samsung or LG sets.

For LCD of 37" or smaller, I again like the Panasonic models a lot. I really like the blacks and colors that they deliver. But the "S's" are all really good choices as well; by that I mean Samsung, Sony, and Sharp Aquos. Those same brands are also the go to choices if you decide to go into larger sized LCDs. Toshiba and LG can be thrown into the LCD mix as well.


Which TV type looks and works best for HDTV? LCD or Plasma?
Q.

A. They have their pros and cons. In terms of picture quality Plasmas have LCD beat; but other things such as lighter weight, less energy consumption, and smaller screens make LCD have its advantages. I don't know so much about Plasmas being "phased out" because the top HDTVs 3/5s are still Plasmas.

I'm gonna give you the break down from an unbias manner using as many facts as possible with minimal opinions. I think most people are basing their answers off opinions. First off if you are going smaller than 40"s LCD hands down. Why? Because Plasma does not make TVs that small.

Now I will start buy comparing two TV's of similar size and features. Samsung and Panasonic are both leaders of their respected technologies LCD and Plasma. I'll be looking at Samsung 40" LCD (Model: LN40B750, 1080p 240 Hz) and Panasonic 42" Plasma (Model: TC-P42G10, 1080p)


Plasma have near instant refresh rate meaning they do not suffer from motion blur like LCDs do although many LCD have 120 and 240hz processors that help(like the Samsung model I am comparing) it still not as clear at processing fast motions(action movies, video games, sports) as plasmas. Average response time for a Plasma is .001ms where LCD is 2ms

Some people worry about plasmas burning in images but those were the first gen plasmas many years ago nowadays if you have a good name brand plasma(like Panasonic) you would almost have to try and burn an image into the screen because of the use of better gases and anti image retention technology. So unless you plan on leaving you TV on a static image for days you probably will not suffer from burn in.

In terms of viewing. LCD loses some of its picture quality when you view it at an off angle. Plasma you can view it at any angle without losing picture quality. However, since plasma has a glass screen it is more likely to have glare if you are in a room with a lot of light.(The Panasonic model I suggested has a filter to reduce glare but still something you should realize if its going to be in a bright room)

As also stated the plasma has better pic quality...2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio compared to the LCD 150,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Plasma is also known to produce better blacks.

Plasmas do use more energy than LCDs. Its not crazy more but it is enough to see some extra dollars on your electric bill a month if watched at the same rate as an LCD. The Panasonic model is still ENERGY STAR Qualified meaning it uses less energy than a regular tube tv but in comparison still uses more than a LCD.

Finally weigh wise the Plasma weighs more than an LCD. That particular plasma weighs 55.2 pounds compared to that particular LCD weighing in at 32.6 pounds

Price for that Plasma is under $900 compared to $1200+ for the LCD.

I would go with the Plasma especially since it is cheaper and has better picture quality; but if weight, energy consumption and a SLIGHT chance of burn in really discourages you go with the LCD. Otherwise generally speaking both are great TVs

What is the best 32" LCD HDTV?

Q. I'm looking for the best 32" HDTV that has a great look, deep blacks and wealthy color (LOL), an excellent PC monitor (pc connectivity), just superb quality and every aspect possible. I went to cnet.com and read everything, especially the Samsung, but I would like to hear from the real consumers out there.

LCD HDTV Calibration?
Q. How do i get my new LCD HDTV calibrated for the best picture?
I've heard that there's professionals who can do this for you. Where do i find someone for this?

A. You can do this in one of three ways. They are, in descending order of cost and effectiveness:

1.) You can find ISF calibrators here:
http://www.imagingscience.com/isf-trained.cfm

2.) You can buy a DVE HD calibration disc to do it yourself.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dve+hd+basics

3.) See if CNET has reviewed your TV. They will list the settings for the TV after calibration. Or you could visit tweaktv.com to see if any ISF calibrators have listed the settings they've used.

I used a combination of 2 and 3.
