LED-LCD TV or Plasma TV?

Q. I'm in the market for a new TV, in the 55" range, I will mostly play my PS3 and watch HDTV channels and sporting events, as well as Blu Ray's. I want to know which kind of TVs are better.

I want pro's and con's and if you own either, I highly request your opinion.

Models I'm considering are either the LED-LCD 3D Sony Bravia 55" 1080p 240 Hz
or the Samsung Plasma 55" 1080p 600Hz

Thanks for all feedback, this is important to me as I want the best of the best.

Is burn in still a problem with Plasmas?

A. The plasma's are cheaper, I would look into a panasonic plasma or LG plasma as those seem to have better picture than samsung. AS for LED, it's still more expensive and is a LCD in reality. The panasonic VT25 3d plasma won best TV for 2010 and is most likely cheaper than the LCD 3dtv. The first 100 hours just make sure you rotate your viewing on a plasma carefully ( I basically left my plasma on THX mode for 20 hours a day, 5 days with everything on zoom mode to remove any bars even when I was gone) after the 5 days I calibrated and even played the same video games for 5 hours straight and got no such image burn ( burn in is dead today, only image retention can happen and you can remove it by watching more HD). I had this panasonic plasma for 8 months and I got slight image retention kinda shadow ghost image from heavy gaming and after watching regular HD for 10 minutes it vanished. Just rotate.

How long do Insignia LCD HDTV last & how do you make it blow out quicker so your dad can buy you a new one?

Q. I have this TV
http://insigniaproducts.com/products/televisions/NS-L32X-10A.html

and I used to have a 720p TV but something went wrong with it and we took it back to best buy and exchanged it for the TV you will find in the link above.

I have had that TV since February 27th,2010(the one in the link) and I want to know how do I make it blow up faster,I was thinking about leaving the TV on all the time and setting the picture settings to the highest it will go.

A. LCD tv's generally last a pretty long time so I don't think that's a very good option. What don't you like about it?
I suppose you could knock it over and say it was an accident or try to take it back to the store and convince them it came that way (if it's Best Buy again they might start to think you're scamming them...which you are...), though that's a waste of a perfectly good tv that you could've mailed to one of us.

Or you could sell it, leave your window open and say someone stole it...though that doesn't work if it's on the 2nd floor and then your dad will be all paranoid that your neighbourhood isn't safe and install some crazy security system with barbed wire, a moat, and a loud alarm that no one can turn off because no one ever remembers the code so your dad gets a couple really big dogs and one of them bites you and runs away (through the open window since you forgot to close it) so you have to get rabies shots...

Or you could tell your dad you'd rather have something different for some reason (you still end up selling the tv but no alarms or rabies this time).

It's really up to you.

Looking for customer reviews for Sharp AQUOS LC46BD80U 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV?

Q. Where can I find reviews and opinions online for Sharp AQUOS LC46BD80U 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

A. Opened in 2006, the Sharp LCD television plant in Kameyama, Japan, includes one of the world's largest roof-mounted solar electricity installations.

Combined with an on-site fuel cell system that converts energy without combustion, Sharp has reduced CO2 emissions by 40 percent per year. It's Sharp's goal that by 2010, the emissions avoided through the use of Sharp's energy-creating and energy-saving products worldwide will equal their annual global emissions.

All Sharp products are designed and manufactured to virtually eliminate lead, mercury and cadmium.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

* Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
* Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Whats the best kind of HDTVs?

Q. Im looking for a good HDTV one good for watching tv an playing games. Priced from $500 to $2,000.

A. Home Theater Magazine named the Panasonic Plasma tv VT series as the best tv for 2010. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tv, along with the pro and con of each technology. You will notice that Panasonic has more Plasma tv being recommended than any tv from other manufacturer. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems come from LCD tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Plasma tv starts at 42" to 150". If you decide on an LCD then, I would recommend either Panasonic or Samsung. Hope this will help you out.

Why do people say LCD TVs are the worst kinds of TVs because of the back light & once the back light blows out?

Q. Then you will have to buy a brand new TV.

I have an Insignia 32 inch LCD HDTV(Advanced series) and I have a feeling the back light could blow out at any moment,I have had the TV since February 27th,2010

A. >Why do people say LCD TVs are the worst kinds of TVs

Because they say silly things.

>because of the back light & once the back light blows out?

Sometimes they fail that way. With a cheap brand like Insignia it probably wouldn't be worth fixing.

>I have a feeling the back light could blow out at any moment,

Unless there is evidence of impending failure (flickering, off color startup, dim) this is a psychological problem. You have no way of knowing if it will last one day or 5 years. No TV is going to last forever.

Best Buy makes a lot of money selling extended warranties to people who have trouble dealing with uncertainty. People who "self-insure" by not buying extended warranties save money on average, but this is little comfort to the unlucky ones who's TVs die right after the factory warranty expires.

So called LED TVs (they are actually LCD TVs with LED back lights) should be less susceptible to back light failure.

Best thing to do is to stop listening to BS artists, enjoy your TV, and start saving for a new TV. That way when your Insignia finally bites the big one, you can just go out and buy a "LED" TV and a warranty with cash.

Original Question

whats the best flat screen tv out there?

Q. i have a philips LCD HDTV 1080 regular channels suck.and the color goes dark and bright sometimes on all the channels.my spending limit is 1100.and only a 47" and up.are plasmas good?i heard they get hot.whats the best tv to get?i want clear crisp sharp channels.any suggestions?

A. SD is 4:3 aspect ratio and 720x480 resolution
HD is 16:9 aspect ratio and 1280x720 or 1920x1080 resolution

So there is a discrepancy on 2 fronts. The resolution one being the more significant of the two. It means that if you play SD content to your HDTV, the HDTV is going to up-scale the SD to its native resolution. That process softens the image quite a bit. There is nothing you can do about it. This is just part of the reality of owning an HDTV in a world where SD is still broadcast. HDTV owners just get used to it, sooner or later; and they start gravitating towards more HD content.

Also, broadcast TV, even HD broadcasts, are heavily compressed. So while HD broadcast will look way better than an SD broadcast, it won't look quite as good as BluRay. BluRay just has way more data/information to work with to deliver you a better picture.

Plasma can deliver you some of the best picture quality in HDTVs at superior prices. This is because inherent to the technology is superior motion playback and superior image quality. So you're not having to pay for extra features.

LCDs need 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates to deal with motion blur problems. LCDs need to offer your LED LCDs in order to improve blacks, contrasts, and colors (and compete with Plasma). But you, the consumer, have to pay for those features. And those features are basically just trying to make an LCD image match the quality of a Plasma. So why pay the extra amount?

Plasmas do run a bit hotter than LCDs. But we're not talking "if you touch it, it will burn you" hot. Its a few degrees. If a pet or child brushed up against it, it wouldn't hurt them in the slightest of ways. Its more of an LCD fanboy misconception than anything else.

If you do go Plasma, I highly recommend you look at Panasonic first and foremost. They are the leader in Plasmas right now. They have one of the strongest reliability reputations in the industry (if not the single strongest reputation). They deliver amazing quality at competitive prices.

As for specific suggestions,

PANASONIC TCP50U2 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $989 @ ABC Warehouse
PANASONIC TCP50S2 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $1169 @ ABC Warehouse
- the S series simply has a bit higher contrast rating than the U series, but otherwise are very similar quality sets

Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P50S1 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $1,030 @ Amazon.com
Panasonic VIERA U1 Series TC-P50U1 - 50" 1080p Plasma - $962 @ Amazon.com
- the S1 and U1 vs S2 and U2 mean that these are the 2009 models and the "2" ones above at ABC Warehouse are the 2010 models. But if you're looking to save a few extra bucks, these are an option to consider

If you are really set on LCD though, for any reason, I would recommend either a Sony or Sharp series. Look for something that is 1080p and 120Hz (or 240Hz). I think you can find a 46" or 47" model with those specs and within your budget.

SONY KDL46EX500 46" 1080p 120Hz - $989 @ ABC Warehouse
Samsung LN46C630K1F 46" 1080p 120Hz - $990 @ Best Buy
Sony KDL46HX701 46" 1080p 240Hz - $1,440 @ Best Buy (I know above your budget, but is a really nice set/series from Sony, so incase you could increase your budget a bit I thought I'd throw it out there)

Oh but, please don't rely solely on my comments, or any one else's. Please do go into a store and bring your eyes into the equation. Stand back from the TVs the same distance you would be at home. Then take a long hard look at content being played on them. You can use spec sheets and opinions/reviews to help your narrow the selection, but at some point, your eyes need to become part of the decision. If you can't see a difference, go with the cheaper choice and save the $.

A. I will tell you - I am not a fan of Mitsubishi brand these days.

When HDTV came out - Mitsubishi televisions refused to accept 720 signals.

When the HDTV spec was still being debated, Mitsubishi came out with the 'Promise' program where they said they would upgrade any Mitsubishi TV to keep it current with changes to the antenna or signaling standard. Then they weezled out of fixing technical problems with their first-gen televisions because they claimed it was not covered under 'the promise' program.

What is the best sound bar for a 32" Vizio TV?

Q. I have a Vizio 32" E320VL LCD HDTV and I have noticed that when I watch a movie on my dvd player, the sound is not very good. It's really quiet in certain parts and really loud in others. I was wondering if a sound bar would fix this problem, and if so what would be the best and cheapest one to get for my Vizio TV? Thanks to anyone who can help!

A. Visit crutchfield.com and click on speakers then soundbars. They offer a good selection with specs and list their offerings from lowest price to highest price. You don't have to buy from them but it doesn't hurt to look. Crutchfield has been in business for many many years. I bought a Sony TV from them in 2010. I live in Texas and by buying from them paid no state sales tax and they ship anywhere in the US at no additional cost. I have a new Vizio 32" LED in my kitchen and after I heard the TV sound for the first time I started looking. The down side of soundbars is the width. Be sure to take that into consideration when shopping. Last, pricing of soundbars is pretty much like other speakers in that you can expect to get what you pay for. The higher the quality, the higher the cost.

Is there something like a cable for HD channels or 3D channels that I should get?
And if I have a standard cable with standard channels, would I be able to view stuff in HD, 3D?
Thanks

A. Yes, you will need 2 HDMI cables, assuming your TV has 2 or more HDMI inputs. You'll at least need one for the BlueRay, the game console could get away with composite cable connections.

You'll also need somewhere to connect the other end of that 30' Ethernet cable. If you have a router, hub, switch or CAT5 jack in the room you'll be OK, otherwise you'll need to decide how to connect the Xbox.

Why do people say LCD TVs are the worst kinds of TVs because of the back light & once the back light blows out?

Q. Then you will have to buy a brand new TV.

I have an Insignia 32 inch LCD HDTV(Advanced series) and I have a feeling the back light could blow out at any moment,I have had the TV since February 27th,2010

A. >Why do people say LCD TVs are the worst kinds of TVs

Because they say silly things.

>because of the back light & once the back light blows out?

Sometimes they fail that way. With a cheap brand like Insignia it probably wouldn't be worth fixing.

>I have a feeling the back light could blow out at any moment,

Unless there is evidence of impending failure (flickering, off color startup, dim) this is a psychological problem. You have no way of knowing if it will last one day or 5 years. No TV is going to last forever.

Best Buy makes a lot of money selling extended warranties to people who have trouble dealing with uncertainty. People who "self-insure" by not buying extended warranties save money on average, but this is little comfort to the unlucky ones who's TVs die right after the factory warranty expires.

So called LED TVs (they are actually LCD TVs with LED back lights) should be less susceptible to back light failure.

Best thing to do is to stop listening to BS artists, enjoy your TV, and start saving for a new TV. That way when your Insignia finally bites the big one, you can just go out and buy a "LED" TV and a warranty with cash.

My TV is showing a line down the middle some stupid setting or is it faulty?

Q. I have a Sony Bra via 32" Class LCD 720p 60Hz HDTV, model KDL-32BX300, and my screen is displaying a line down the middle. My question is this: is this a defect or is this something I can fix myself with a little assistance?
it is a very small hardly notice able line like a dotted line similar to a compare contrast thing

A. Bad LCD panel. It's a 2010 so it's still under warranty. Get r fixed!

Anyone able to give me some details on the 82" Mits DLP models?

Q. Basically the situation im in is this, im looking to upgrade but im curious if its a "must" to have the 740 or 840 model over the 738. How much different are the screens in terms of how they look, or are the screens comparable and the newer models simply have more bells and whistles?

Anyone that owns a 2010 model have a chance to compare it with the 2011 models?

Thanks in advance.

A. I will tell you - I am not a fan of Mitsubishi brand these days.

When DLP came out - Mitsubishi was charging $9999 for their first model.

When HDTV came out - Mitsubishi televisions refused to accept 720 signals.

When the HDTV spec was still being debated, Mitsubishi came out with the 'Promise' program where they said they would upgrade any Mitsubishi TV to keep it current with changes to the antenna or signaling standard. Then they weezled out of fixing technical problems with their first-gen televisions because they claimed it was not covered under 'the promise' program.

So - look at the 70 inch Sharp Aqous LCD televisions - a better company in my opinion.

How much do you think HDTVs will drop in price by April 2010?

Q. We want a 42" Panasonic 1080p which is $700, but we can't afford that. That is why I want to know how much all HDTVs will drop in price by then. What do you think?

A. No one can be sure, but i would think with the new LED tvs, that LCD's and plasma tv prices are gonna sink like a rock. Samsung, LG, Vizio, (that i know of) already have LED tvs on the market. so i would imagine if you want a LCD, it would be cheaper in april and continually dropping in price.
