i need a new HDTV for gaming!?

Q. preferably not plasma as it could get burn in from lengthy (10+hour) gaming sessions.
LCD or LED
~32"-40"
1080p
reliable brand
low input lag!
possibly 120hz refresh but as the games i play run at 60hz max why would i need anything higher???
looks good! i dont like watching a good picture on something that doesn't look good. lol

and maybe a good surround sound to go with it? nothing to crazy just need something i can pump up the volume with! :D

A. Go with LED then, it's great for gaming.

Now your answer:

Brands that I like the most and probably best from least: Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Sony, Toshiba, Phillips.

Plasma >=< LED > LCD (LED is like the same/upgrade as LCD, so you should never go with LCD).
- Picture quality = Plasmas are better for picture quality (dark rooms and better dark pictures/video) and viewing experience with little to none motion blur (plasma for big tv's). (LED are better for tv's around 32 inches or smaller/small tv's for bright rooms and for bright pictures/videos).
- Sound quality = Plasmas are better, but LED is ok too,
- Appearance = I like plasma glass, but LED is nice too.
- Energy consumption = LED's are better (LED's are extremely economical and good for gamers).
- Reliable = LED's are only easier to take care of and last longer, so I guess they are better (I recommend LED tv's for gaming).
- Price = Both are about the same price and it's up to you to decide if you want a plasma or LED.


Is 1080 good? Yes.
- 1080 resolution is better than 720 resolution.
- Bigger tv's are better with 1080 than 720 (If the tv is around 32 inches I would go with 720, any bigger I would just want a 1080 especially for tv's that are over 42 inches).
- Farther you sit away from tv's means it's better to go with 1080 than 720 (If you sit more than 10 feet away from your tv, then I definitely would go with 1080).
- Progressive scan is better than interlaced scan.
- Example: 1080p > 1080i
- Example: 720p > 720i
- Example: 1080i > 720p (because more resolution is better for slower passed videos).
- Example: 720p > 1080i (because fast pass videos you be better off with progressive scan).

Is 60hz good? = No.
- You want at least 120hz for your tv to play your videos.

Hz is the refresh rate. (Some tv's have a choice what hz you can set it at).
- It's an HD TV-set running at 60Hz - meaning it refreshes the entire screen 60 times a second.
- It's an HD TV-set running at 120Hz - meaning it refreshes the entire screen 120 times a second.

FPS = frames per second.
- NTSC countries use 60hz = 30 fps.
- PAL countries use 50hz = 24/25 fps.
(For not equal conversions there is more math to it, and there is 3:2 or 2:3 pulldowns that I will not explain).

For NTSC countries:
- To display 30 frames per second on a TV with a 60 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 2 times every 30th of a second.
- To display 30 frames per second on a TV with a 120 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 4 times every 30th of a second.

For PAL countries (you don't want a tv with 60hz because that includes more math and bad effects).
- To display 25 frames per second on a TV with a 50 hz refresh rate (PAL Countries), each frame is repeated 2 times every 25th of a second.
- To display 24 frames per second on a TV with a 72hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 3 times every 24th of a second.
- To display 25 frames per second on a TV with a 100 hz refresh rate (PAL Countries), each frame is repeated 4 times every 25th of a second.
- To display 24 frames per second on a TV with a 120hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.
.ect

(If your playing a video with a different fps, then there is different math, I used progressive scan math btw).

The hobbit (1 out of 3): An unexpecting Journey: (Prequel to lord of the rings): is one of the first movies to change from 24 fps to 48 fps (or 30 fps to 60 fps). We may see more movies do this.

I am still new to 3d tv's, ill have to get into them as well and I am not really a fan of 3d tv's anyways.
- All I can say is it's good for very slow pass scenes and/or animated movies.

I am not a fan of projectors either.

I don't have enough room, but I recommend a good hd-receiver and good surround sound speakers to plug/wire into that receiver.

Original Question

Plasma vs LED or LCD?

Q. I'm considering buying 42''in - 50' in tv but i dont know which one to get. personally i prefer plasma because i hear that their black level and other aspects are superior thatn led or lcd. Any advice guys?

A. I prefer Plasma HDTV since they are 600hz, and can keep up with the action in a action movie. It don't leave any marks for a second or two after the scene is over and on to the next one. LCDs and LED edge lit LCD HDTVs are only up to 240hz. For now Plasmas are stuck at 600hz and there is nothing new that is higher and better. The newer Plasmas are more energy saving then when it first came out. It is true Plasma's black level and other aspects are more superior, and the company that did the best was Pioneer with their Kuro(just called Pioneer on the TV) and Elite Kuro( it just called Pioneer Elite or Elite on the TV) . Some reviewers today still say in more than two and a half years, no TV has delivered better picture quality than the Pioneer Kuro line of plasma TVs. I would think that comparing it to even Samsung's thinest Plasmas that either 55" or 60", and what Panasonic has that is consider a thin Plasma.
Here goes a link on it: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20034816-1.html

The Pioneer Kuro are gone now from the market, well the big retails like Best Buy and Costco don't have them any more for a long time. But one might be able to still find it at a good mom and pop type electronic store online or a brick and mortar one. Pioneer only came out with a 50" and 55" for those in the Elite and non Elite area. Ever since late February or early March of 2009 Pioneer have said they would not be making HDTVs anymore. It was due to the market and how business was for them. l'm glad that I have a Pioneer Kuro that 50", wish I had the 55". Got it from one of those good mom and pop online electronic store for like 2000. On the non Elites when it first came out the 50" was in the mid 3000 area, and the 55" in the mid 5000 area. Any way I like Pioneer's stuff when it comes to home theater. They are one of the best in A/V receivers and Blu-Ray players(other then Oppo).

The ONLY way I would go for a LED is if it from Pioneer, and they do have two out in the market. But it is a business deal between Pioneer and Magnolia Hi-Fi, and it is just call the Elite without the name Pioneer on it. It is also a 3D with 240hz, the 60" is price in the mid 5000 area and the 70" is price near the high 7000 area. So you only can get it at a Magnolia Hi-Fi or a Best Buy with one inside.

IF I had to go cheap on LED edge Lit LCD TV, and the price for the Pioneer is way too much for me. But the picture must be real good or almost equaling to their Kuro. Any way this is what I would go for.

Sharp Aquos Quattron 60" Class 1080p 240hz LED Edge Lit LCD HDTV
Model LC-60LE832U

But like I said I prefer Plasma over LED Edge Lit LCD and it good to check on the 55" or 60" Plasmas from Panasonic first, then the Samsung or LG. If it not what you like or want from Panasonic.

By the way I have NEVER had to recharge my Pioneer Plasma HDTV so far, since I got it in mid February of 2009.

Which 42" HDTV should I buy?

Q. I know I want 1080P but what other specs should I be looking at? What is a good brand? I'll be using it primarily to watch blu-ray movies and play PS3. What about response time and hertz? Thanks in advance.
And what about the contrast?

A. First thing to consider is the room you are putting the TV in. If the room is very bright and/or has a lot of natural light that may reflect based on where you are planning on putting the TV, then you are probably better off with an LCD. There are not many 42" LCDs, then generally come in 40 and 46 inch, but you probably wouldn't notice the size difference between a 40 and 42 anyway, especially once you get it home.

For good LCDs, you should look at Samsung and Sony, if you are on more of a budget, Toshiba, Hitachi and LG may be good as well, but generally the prices aren't considerably lower. You can consider an LED LCD TV (these just have a backlight made from LEDs instead of the standard CCFL, which is a lot of marketing since people have heard of LEDs but not many know about CCFL). LED-backlit TVs are nice and do have a better picture than standard LCD TVs, but they do cost a good bit more. Honestly, the best way to decide which you want is to check your price range, then go to BestBuy and just look at all the TVs and decide which looks best to you, although if you want the truth, once you bring it home and it's the only TV you see, it's going to look great no matter what.

Back to the main question though, If you do have a room that is averagely lit, not super bright or anything, then a plasma TV may be a better choice. Generally, plasmas give a better picture in these situations (even though they may look a bit dull and faded in the store, that's because of the lights). I personally recommend a Panasonic Plasma. I have had one for a year and a half and it is a great TV. For the first couple weeks you have the TV, you will have to be careful of temporary "image retention" while playing games and such, but it is not as big of a deal as some people make it out to be, and unless you abuse your TV, it will go away quickly.

When it comes to Hertz, this is how many times per second the screen refreshes the image. It is generally meaningless. People will like to tell you that higher refresh rates give a smoother picture, and although there is some truth to this, the effect is just there to reduce choppyness in the image. If you do go for LCD, 120Hz TVs may be a good direction to go if you like what you see (definitely check it out in store though) but don't bother with 240Hz, it's just not worth the extra money for whatever minute improvements it may or may not make. For plasma TVs, the refresh rate will probably be listed like 600Hz or something for some TVs, again, this number is all marketing, just ignore it.

As for response time. This isn't something that's too big of an issue anymore. If the TV has a high response time though (10ms for example is pretty high) then you may see some weird effects when things on the screen start to move quickly. I recommend getting as low as possible, but unless you are buying a cheap brand, this probably won't come up. This only applies to LCDs as well. If you get a plasma, the response time is so short you will never notice it.

Contrast ratios are completely useless. A higher one is better, but since there is no 'standard' way to measure it, you can't really use it to determine much. Your best bet is to look at the TV and see how it looks to you.

Lastly, I recommend finding what you want (or something similar) in a store, then buying it online. It will save you a lot of money, although it does require waiting and may be a hassle depending on where you live, but definitely consider it.

Anyway, sorry for babbling on, but I hope you find this helpful.

What is the best HDTV on the market today?

Q. I'm looking to buy a new tv and i was wanting to know best brand, best type (LCD, Plasma, LED, etc..) and best value.
I am also look for something under $2000.
And what all do I need to look for when buying?

A. Well i don't know what size you're looking for so i'm going to assume you're looking for sizes 42" or larger?!

What you should be looking for is a TV with high native contrast ratios and fast response times and/or refresh rates. These categories insure the best picture quality. Plasma TV's have the best numbers in all of these categories! They have the highest native contrast ratio(40,000:1) with Infinite dynamic black levels or Infinite dynamic contrast ratio! They have near instant response time(.001ms) and super fast refresh rates(600hz)! This insures that they maintain the sharpest pic possible with fast motion content like sports, movies & gaming!

The best brands of Plasma are: Pioneer, Panasonic & Samsung. Stay away from anything else! Pioneers are the best of the best but expensive! Panasonic's are just as good as Pioneers, but much more affordable. Samsung's come close to Panasonics, but lack their reliability(but not by much)!

Here are some TV's that i highly recommend:

How come the 42 inch Samsung plasma TV has a faster response time than my 32 inch LCD HDTV from Insignia?

Q. the 42 inch TV is in the living room and my LCD HDTV is in my room.

A. Plasma TV's have a normally fast response time, whereas LCD or LED have a slow response time, requiring 120 to 240 hz. refresh rates to help the lag/blur on fast motion.. Plasma is great for sports, gaming, and an excellent 'way off to the sides' viewing angle with no picture change.! Try that on your LCD/LED TV..!!

What is the better choice between LED and LCD HDTV's?

Q. I am in the first stage of buying a new flat screen TV and I need a reliable source on which is better. I have seen some that include both LED-LCD in their description. What does this mean?. Please enlighten me! The universe will reward you further if you could include a link to a good 32" to 42" TV. Thanks!!

A. Both LED and LCD are LCD tvs. Different backlights. LED are the newer tech and are still having new tech issues. Clouding, flashlighting at the corners of the screen and other screen anomolies.

If you want 3D you have to get an LED. LEDs have the newest internal tech also. LCD are being shifted to the lower line tvs but they have fewer problems. If you want the latest and greatest you should get LED. If you are OK with older tech but fewer issues, you should go with LCD.

Go with a Samsung or Sony tv. The universe should be satisfied with that as they both are coming out with new models as we speak, so links are not available if you want the newest 2012 models.

Plasma
LED
LCD
DLP

Also when you specify what type, specify what brand you'd recommend.
Price = 1000 or less U.S. $
I was referring to DLP Tvs, not projectors.

A. LED would be best choice. They have great picture quality like plasma but less problem, no burn-in like LCD. For under $1000 I would recommend LG 42LE5400 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Internet Applications

Original Question

What is the best kind/brand of HDtv on the market?

Q. Im looking to buy a new tv and was wondering what the best kind of HD tv is in regards to plasma or lcd, pixel count, the Hz value, etc. (regardless of cost). And also i wanted to know what the best brand of tv is in yall's opinion

A. TV size matters first and foremost. If you are doing 37" or smaller, then you want to go LCD. You don't notice the advantages of Plasma in smaller TVs (hence why the big time Plasma brands don't make smaller sized sets). If you break 40", and moreso if you break 50", you want to go Plasma for all of its advantages.

Same goes for the other major 'tech specs' out there. 1080p vs 720p, 720p is fine in 37" or smaller (and from friends' purchases, even 42"). For 120Hz/240Hz vs 60Hz, 60Hz is fine in 37" and smaller. But as you break 40", I would lean towards 120Hz if you can afford it. And LED LCD vs CCFL LCD, its night and day for LED. If you want LCD over Plasma, and want a TV over 40", I would jump to LED quick (but be ready to pay through the nose for it).

LCD is inherently flawed at fast motion playback. It suffers from motion blur (ghost trails). Manufacturers compensate for this with 120Hz/240Hz refresh rates. This helps in a big way, but it is not 100%. And they will charge you a price premium for this partial fix.

CCFL (traditional, majority) LCDs are weak in image quality in terms of color, blacks, and contrast. Manufacturers compensate for this with LED LCDs. This is a immense help. Its just a total night and day kind of upgrade. But you will pay through the nose for this premium feature (it has to do with the backlight source for the TV).

Plasmas are inherently near instantaneous with their response time. This means that they playback fast motion flawlessly. The 480Hz or 600Hz stuff you see for them is more marketing than anything else. Just know they are amazing in this regard (much like a CRT).

Also like a CRT, Plasmas will provide better color, true blacks, and deeper contrast. They provide a better overall image to an LCD, even an LED LCD. And for this, you pay nothing extra. It is inherent to the technology, no premium fees needed.

Plasmas only suffer from myths and misconceptions, as you can see from the other answers. In the past Plasmas were more expensive, suffered from burn-in, didn't work in high altitudes, had short life-spans, and were energy hogs. None of those hold true anymore, or even for the past several years. The technology is light years beyond its initial versions.

Plasmas don't charge for amazing fast motion playback, good colors, true blacks, and deep contrast. LCD does. Its not a premium feature on a Plasma, its inherent to the technology. So they are cheaper.

Plasmas no longer suffer from burn-in. This is a pure myth that LCD fanboys like to rant on. And better brands even come with additional anti-image retention features, above and beyond the natural improvements in the technology.

Good Plasmas are rated to 100,000 hours. That is equal to, if not far, better than and LCD on the market. Basically, at 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, that would mean in 10 years time, you would only lose about 10% of the brightness on the screen. So you'll be shopping for a new TV before your Plasma wears out.

You can buy energy star certified Plasmas now. They can beat LCDs in terms of power consumption. All models are different, from both technologies. So if that is a concern, just look through the spec sheets.

If you go Plasma, go with the Panasonic Viera if you want the videophile's TV of choice. You'll get the best image in HDTVs with them (at least affordable, Pioneer Kuro Elite is better, but $$$). If you just can't see yourself going Panasonic, then settle with a Samsung or LG Plasma instead.

If you are going with a smaller LCD, 37" or smaller, I still like Panasonic. Get one of their LCDs. They have wonderful color and blacks. Again, if that's not your thing, or you do want a larger LCD, look to Samsung first and foremost. In 37" or smaller the 450 or 550 models are good choices (550 is a bit overkill, but won't hurt in terms of quality, just price). If you go to 40" or bigger in Samsung LCD look at 650 or better models. Otherwise look to Sony and the W,Z, or XBR lines.

How to find out if my tv is LCD or Plasma?

Q. So I bought this TV 42' SONY KDL-42EX44X. All my friends now asking me what is this LCD or PLASMA and i have no idea my self what is this.

A. It is an LED edge lit LCD HDTV. Sony hasn't made plasma display units for many years now.

What is the best kind/brand of HDtv on the market?

Q. Im looking to buy a new tv and was wondering what the best kind of HD tv is in regards to plasma or lcd, pixel count, the Hz value, etc. (regardless of cost). And also i wanted to know what the best brand of tv is in yall's opinion

A. TV size matters first and foremost. If you are doing 37" or smaller, then you want to go LCD. You don't notice the advantages of Plasma in smaller TVs (hence why the big time Plasma brands don't make smaller sized sets). If you break 40", and moreso if you break 50", you want to go Plasma for all of its advantages.

Same goes for the other major 'tech specs' out there. 1080p vs 720p, 720p is fine in 37" or smaller (and from friends' purchases, even 42"). For 120Hz/240Hz vs 60Hz, 60Hz is fine in 37" and smaller. But as you break 40", I would lean towards 120Hz if you can afford it. And LED LCD vs CCFL LCD, its night and day for LED. If you want LCD over Plasma, and want a TV over 40", I would jump to LED quick (but be ready to pay through the nose for it).

LCD is inherently flawed at fast motion playback. It suffers from motion blur (ghost trails). Manufacturers compensate for this with 120Hz/240Hz refresh rates. This helps in a big way, but it is not 100%. And they will charge you a price premium for this partial fix.

CCFL (traditional, majority) LCDs are weak in image quality in terms of color, blacks, and contrast. Manufacturers compensate for this with LED LCDs. This is a immense help. Its just a total night and day kind of upgrade. But you will pay through the nose for this premium feature (it has to do with the backlight source for the TV).

Plasmas are inherently near instantaneous with their response time. This means that they playback fast motion flawlessly. The 480Hz or 600Hz stuff you see for them is more marketing than anything else. Just know they are amazing in this regard (much like a CRT).

Also like a CRT, Plasmas will provide better color, true blacks, and deeper contrast. They provide a better overall image to an LCD, even an LED LCD. And for this, you pay nothing extra. It is inherent to the technology, no premium fees needed.

Plasmas only suffer from myths and misconceptions, as you can see from the other answers. In the past Plasmas were more expensive, suffered from burn-in, didn't work in high altitudes, had short life-spans, and were energy hogs. None of those hold true anymore, or even for the past several years. The technology is light years beyond its initial versions.

Plasmas don't charge for amazing fast motion playback, good colors, true blacks, and deep contrast. LCD does. Its not a premium feature on a Plasma, its inherent to the technology. So they are cheaper.

Plasmas no longer suffer from burn-in. This is a pure myth that LCD fanboys like to rant on. And better brands even come with additional anti-image retention features, above and beyond the natural improvements in the technology.

Good Plasmas are rated to 100,000 hours. That is equal to, if not far, better than and LCD on the market. Basically, at 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, that would mean in 10 years time, you would only lose about 10% of the brightness on the screen. So you'll be shopping for a new TV before your Plasma wears out.

You can buy energy star certified Plasmas now. They can beat LCDs in terms of power consumption. All models are different, from both technologies. So if that is a concern, just look through the spec sheets.

If you go Plasma, go with the Panasonic Viera if you want the videophile's TV of choice. You'll get the best image in HDTVs with them (at least affordable, Pioneer Kuro Elite is better, but $$$). If you just can't see yourself going Panasonic, then settle with a Samsung or LG Plasma instead.

If you are going with a smaller LCD, 37" or smaller, I still like Panasonic. Get one of their LCDs. They have wonderful color and blacks. Again, if that's not your thing, or you do want a larger LCD, look to Samsung first and foremost. In 37" or smaller the 450 or 550 models are good choices (550 is a bit overkill, but won't hurt in terms of quality, just price).

What is the better choice between LED and LCD HDTV's?

Q. I am in the first stage of buying a new flat screen TV and I need a reliable source on which is better. I have seen some that include both LED-LCD in their description. What does this mean?. Please enlighten me! The universe will reward you further if you could include a link to a good 32" to 42" TV. Thanks!!

A. Both LED and LCD are LCD tvs. Different backlights. LED are the newer tech and are still having new tech issues. Clouding, flashlighting at the corners of the screen and other screen anomolies.

If you want 3D you have to get an LED. LEDs have the newest internal tech also. LCD are being shifted to the lower line tvs but they have fewer problems. If you want the latest and greatest you should get LED. If you are OK with older tech but fewer issues, you should go with LCD.

Go with a Samsung or Sony tv. The universe should be satisfied with that as they both are coming out with new models as we speak, so links are not available if you want the newest 2012 models.

Seniors I'm thinking of buying a new TV. What brands do you think are good and what sizes?

Q. LED, HDTV not sure what this means? Some ideas please!

A. I suggest that you look at flat panel televisions that are high definition (HDTV); Sandy Sue. There are many brands and 3 types of flat screens to choose from; Plasma screens, LED, or LCD.

Most of the brands of HDTV flat screens will work well; so shop around for price. Do a little research online; and then go into a store and check out the brands that interest you. Look at the tv straight on and from the side, to see which picture looks best. Compare the colors and clearness of the pictures.

The size of the screen will depend on the size of the room where the tv will be placed. We have two tvs, one has a 42 inch screen and one has a 48 inch screen; the rooms are about 10x14 feet. We could have gone with bigger screens, but honestly, these screens are more than big enough. If your rooms are smaller, then you could get a smaller screen.

Our 42 inch flat panel screen HDTV is an LED screen, Samsung. The picture is clear and sharp and the color is good. We can view it from the side without a problem. The screen burnt out after 2 years, and we were able to replace it, but it cost a pretty penny. The tv is now 6 years old and works like a champ.

We've had our 48 inch flat panel screen HDTV for about 18 months; it is an LCD screen and is the LG brand. I love this tv, it does use less energy and doesn't get as hot as any of our other televisions. The picture is great and we have not had any problems with it at all.

Just look for a picture that you like, a size that you like, a price that you can afford, and check reviews of the tv you are considering. I know that the choices are dizzying. We did a bit of research, went to the stores more than once, picked the televisions we liked the best, and then waited for them to go on sale.

Good luck!

What is the best HDTV on the market today?

Q. I'm looking to buy a new tv and i was wanting to know best brand, best type (LCD, Plasma, LED, etc..) and best value.
I am also look for something under $2000.
And what all do I need to look for when buying?

A. Well i don't know what size you're looking for so i'm going to assume you're looking for sizes 42" or larger?!

What you should be looking for is a TV with high native contrast ratios and fast response times and/or refresh rates. These categories insure the best picture quality. Plasma TV's have the best numbers in all of these categories! They have the highest native contrast ratio(40,000:1) with Infinite dynamic black levels or Infinite dynamic contrast ratio! They have near instant response time(.001ms) and super fast refresh rates(600hz)! This insures that they maintain the sharpest pic possible with fast motion content like sports, movies & gaming!

The best brands of Plasma are: Pioneer, Panasonic & Samsung. Stay away from anything else! Pioneers are the best of the best but expensive! Panasonic's are just as good as Pioneers, but much more affordable. Samsung's come close to Panasonics, but lack their reliability(but not by much)!

Here are some TV's that i highly recommend:
Panasonic TC-P54S1 1080p 54": http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9280164&type=product&id=1218073533060

How come the 42 inch Samsung plasma TV has a faster response time than my 32 inch LCD HDTV from Insignia?

Q. the 42 inch TV is in the living room and my LCD HDTV is in my room.

A. Plasma TV's have a normally fast response time, whereas LCD or LED have a slow response time, requiring 120 to 240 hz. refresh rates to help the lag/blur on fast motion.. Plasma is great for sports, gaming, and an excellent 'way off to the sides' viewing angle with no picture change.! Try that on your LCD/LED TV..!!

What is the best LED television for people on a budget?

Q. I am moving in with my best friend who only has an old, 42 inch television. We are looking for a flat screen tv, preferably LED, must be in the forty inch range and have 1080 resolution. I have found a few tvs like this in the four hundred dollar range, but I know nothing about tvs. What is the best tv fitting these parameters in the four hundred dollar range?

A. LG 42LV3500 42-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV is replacing my LG 37 in LCD television, my 37 inch was working perfectly but decided to up grade to full HD and the LED model, I have to say the picture color and clarity is stunning to me, minor adjustments were to make the auto picture dimming set to medium, and the usual detailing of the picture but I have all my components linked up via HDMI and I am really impressed, one feature I like is the live scan, with this turned on you can operate the television or the blue ray and the TV knows how and what to change to and back to automatically, pretty cool feature In my estimation you can not go wrong with LG its kind of a thing of either you like there products or not, I have several appliances that are LG and have never had an issue with anything, I am expecting many years of fine television viewing.

LG 42LV3500 42-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV is replacing my LG 37 in LCD television, my 37 inch was working perfectly but decided to up grade to full HD and the LED model, I have to say the picture color and clarity is stunning to me, minor adjustments were to make the auto picture dimming set to medium, and the usual detailing of the picture but I have all my components linked up via HDMI and I am really impressed, one feature I like is the live scan, with this turned on you can operate the television or the blue ray and the TV knows how and what to change to and back to automatically, pretty cool feature In my estimation you can not go wrong with LG its kind of a thing of either you like there products or not, I have several appliances that are LG and have never had an issue with anything, I am expecting many years of fine television viewing.

What kind of tv is better for watching tv and playing games?

Q. I'm looking to buy a tv soon, and I was wondering what kind is the best for watching tv and playing games.

Plasma
LED
LCD
DLP

Also when you specify what type, specify what brand you'd recommend.
Price = 1000 or less U.S. $
I was referring to DLP Tvs, not projectors.

A. LED would be best choice. They have great picture quality like plasma but less problem, no burn-in like LCD. For under $1000 I would recommend LG 42LE5400 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Internet Applications

How come the 42 inch Samsung plasma TV has a faster response time than my 32 inch LCD HDTV from Insignia?

Q. the 42 inch TV is in the living room and my LCD HDTV is in my room.

A. Plasma TV's have a normally fast response time, whereas LCD or LED have a slow response time, requiring 120 to 240 hz. refresh rates to help the lag/blur on fast motion.. Plasma is great for sports, gaming, and an excellent 'way off to the sides' viewing angle with no picture change.! Try that on your LCD/LED TV..!!
