Best LCD HDTV to buy on Black Friday?

Q. I am looking for a 42"-52" LCD HDTV to buy on black friday. there are a lot of ads out there and i am not sure how to decide on one. i want to spend $800-$1000 (or less), i want it to be 1080p, 120 Hz refresh rate, 30000:1 contrast ratio (or better). I am going to use this tv with a ps3/blu ray. if there are better deals than those on black friday, then great. i am going to be gaming and watching movies on this tv.

A. Samsung are the 1# of the best of LCD & the best picture. I was going to buy a Samsung but it was sold out & so then I got a 52"Sony Bravia HDTV/LCD 1080P 120Hz & is very good. I use it for my Xbox 360 Elite,Blu-ray movies,PS3 games & watch HD channels. If I was you, I will get to the store early as possible because once it sold, is sold. If Samsung are gone, go with Sharp Aquos or Sony Bravia.

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.

is the ps3 be worth buying for a LCD HDTV?

Q. does it it look better on a hdtv or any kind of t.v?

A. The PS3 definitely looks better on an HDTV. Period. I originally had it hooked up to a standard tv, and at first thought that the PS3 was nothing special. After buying my plasma, I can see the difference is amazing.

Now, if you're asking if buying the PS3 is worth it, that's another question. It all depends on what it is that you want and expect from it. If you play a lot of games, then yes, get the PS3. If you want to play Blu-Ray DVDs, then yes, get the PS3, as I've read that most Blu-Ray DVD players are, by itself, about a $1000. But if you're just expecting to be "wowed" by the graphics or are just a casual gamer, I would tell you to pass on the PS3 and look for something less than the $600 price tag. The graphics are good, but for people who don't spend a large amount of time playing video games, a wait for a price drop is a good idea.

is an lcd hdtv really worth buying?

Q. i am planning on buying an hdtv for my family but we already have a tv. a regular basic tv. we have a ps3, wii, and we have hd channels. out of all honesty is buying a hdtv really worth spending money on it even though i have a tv that is working just fine? is spending a few hundred dollars really worth better picture?

A. Honestly, I bought an HD TV a couple years ago when they were like four or five times more expensive and the technology was weaker than it is now. I was also skeptical about it, but to be perfectly honest, after having watched HD television for all this time, I simply cannot go back to regular TV.

The hi def channels are so pleasing to the eye that it makes a world of a difference. Watching sporting events like football is fantastic�I literally can't watch sporting events on regular TV anymore. I'm not a big gamer anymore, but I'm sure that it'll make the gaming experience that much better.

I was looking at the current prices of HD LCD TVs recently and they have come down so much that I would certainly go with an HD TV. It really makes a huge difference so long as you have HD channels coming in or HD/Blue Ray DVDs that you're using.

Right now, literally, the HD TV I purchased in 2006 for over $2,500 presently costs $829 and is of better quality with the technical improvements.

Do I need to buy HDMI cables if I buy a LCD HDTV?

Q. I am planning on getting a Samsung 40" 1080p, the model is LN40B640. But I am wondering if I need HDMI cables. They are very expensive, well the Monster brand which start at over $60. I am not familiar with HDMI, or HD electronics in general. I only plan on connecting a Xbox 360 to the tv, and a Blu Ray player eventually. No home theater system. Any help with what HDMI is for and which are good for the money will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

A. Okay here comes your perfect answer. So you know i am very knowledgeable about everything there is to know about LCD, Plasma, PS3, Xbox, Bluray, surround sound ect. so take what im telling you as fact. I have literaly set up DOZENS of surround sound lcd bluray ps3 xbox sytems in peoples houses and know how they work from top to bottom.

Answer: not necissarily.

HDMI cables are designed to handle all current forms of HD signal including 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. But they also handle "HD Audio" or true surround sound signal which includes DTS, Dolby prologic, Dolby Digital 5.1 and 7.1 audio. The nice thing about HDMI is its all in one cable.

Your xbox (tho i am not conclusively sure about the elite) comes with cables to send video and audio signal to your TV. You have your STANDARD DEFINITION CALBES witch is the yellow (video in 480i) cable, aswell as a red and white which designate left and right channel stereo only audio. this is not HD. But they also, on the same wire, come with "COMPONENT VIDEO" THIS IS THE SAME EXACT THING AS AN HDMI CABLE BUT IN THREE WIRES!. Component has a green, blue, and red cable splitting a video signal into 3 specific forms, which are then combined in the tv as HD signal. these cables will handle 1080p.

If you use component you will still have to use the red and the white for your audio. you will NOT use the yellow anymore.

The difference between component and HDMI is wire control (less wires) if you get into deep specifics HDMI can also be used for one device to control another. But in your case its not, nor would you have a need to do so. Also as i said HDMI carries HD audio, the white and red sterio wires do not, but that does not matter in your case for you do not have a surround sound speaker system able to decode and designate speaker channels for surround sound audio.

Advice: You could use either, i use HDMI
Go to newegg.com and buy your HDMI cable from there for $10 or less
Never buy a cable less than 6' (foot) long for you WILL NOT have enough. trust me
You should be able to find the cable you need for about $6
After you hook every thing up and see a picture on the TV you are STILL NOT GETTING HD PICTURE
You have to tell your xbox to send 1080p to your television only!!!!!
Go to system settings in your xbox, then video settings and set the resolution to 1080p
to make sure that is is working correctly, press display, or info on your TV'S! remote, and it will tell you what signal is being supplied to the TV (720p, 1080i 0r 1080p)
you also have to tell the xbox what cables you wish to run signal through, but you should come to that step anyways while in video settings.
ALSO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, I BELIEVE XBOX REQUIRES A SPECIAL CABLE DESIGNED FOR THE THE XBOX ONLY THAT HAS HDMI ON ONE END (FOR THE TV) AND THE XBOX HOOKUP AT THE OTHER TO HOOK TO YOUR XBOX. THERE IS ALSO A SWITCH ON THE XBOX CABLE ITSELF THAT SAYS HDTV WHICH NEEDS TO BE SWITCHED ON IF USING 'COMPONENT HOOKUP RED, GREEN, BLUE CABLES) for HD picture

I have xbox ps3, HD DVD, 42" flat LCD, 1,800 watt surround sound 7.1 with three subwoofers and 5 extra speakers wired into it. It all runs perfectly and amazingly, and shakes the earth. I use component for my xbox, and HDMI for my ps3 which has a blu-ray built in. Best advice, get a ps3, so much better that xbox, and you cant beet the price now adays.

SUPER TIP!!!!! : go to half.com for all bluray movies, games, and even consoles (game systems) FRACTION OF THE PRICE! NEW!!!! or slightly used (all used games ive gotten are in FLAWLESS CONDITION! and i have 20 all from that site)

most of the answers here are partially right, or wrong. i promise you, this is totally correct. Best Buy guys call me when they have a problem. GOOD LUCK friend, you will love it. Enjoy, and have a friend with you in you are unsure on how to do everything, refer to this as a guide.

A. I'd go with the ViewSonic at Costco, but only because of Costco's service and extended warranty. They are both "third tier" (bottom of the barrel) LCDs.
While it's tough on the budget, try to stick with a reliable, quality name brand like Panasonic, Toshiba, or Hitachi. While Sony is the top name in LCD, it's out of your price range, I'd guess. Generally, you'll find the best prices by a few dollars on the Toshiba. However, look at the Panasonic TC-26LX70 LCD HDTV now on sale at Circuit City for $749. Quality set at a good price.

What would you consider is the starting size of a large LCD HDTV?

Q. What would you consider is the average size of a decent LCD HDTV. Im not worried about the size of my room or whatever....etc. I want to buy an LCD HDTV that is just a little larger than normal. So......what would you consider is the starting screen size of a "larger than average" LCD HDTV? The guys at Best Buy recommended a 42in.......what do you think? Do you think a 42+ inches is the starting size of a "larger" TV size?

A. i know people who have 37" and it suits them just fine for an upgrade. My family just got a 42" but we've been putting off getting one for over 3 years...and probably won't upgrade for another 5 years at least.

How well does a lcd hdtv work as a computer monitor?

Q. A lcd hdtv i am buying has a computer input. Will it look just as good as my computer monitor? it would save me some space.

A. It may depend on the make, but it will work well as a computer monitor.

I got my laptop hooked up to my LCD TV using an inexpensive VGA cable (same as the cable from your CPU to the computer monitor) to view my jpeg digital pictures. I could use the mouse to find my photo directories, veiw photos as a slide, etc.

When I hooked up the cable, I had the option of using the TV as the computer monitor or have both the laptop screen and the TV display on.

But when im watching tv i dont feel the picture quality is very good, it looks somewhat blurry and i just dont feel like im getting what im suppose to. I wasnt really expecting that though it being an HD ready tv and putting out 1080p. Would getting an HD cable box from my cable provider help?

A. The picture looks bad because you are looking at standard-definition channels, not HD channels.

HDTVs usually make standard-def channels look WORSE, not better!

So what you need to do is get some HD channels.

To do that with cable, you probably have to upgrade your cable account to pay extra for HD and get an HD cable box. But before you do that, you could try without a box, and have your TV scan for new channels (tell it you have digital cable when you start the scan), and it may pick up a few channels (mostly major networks) in HD. If you are happy with just those in HD, you might not need to pay extra for HD.

How well does a lcd hdtv work as a computer monitor?

Q. A lcd hdtv i am buying has a computer input. Will it look just as good as my computer monitor? it would save me some space.

A. It may depend on the make, but it will work well as a computer monitor.

I got my laptop hooked up to my LCD TV using an inexpensive VGA cable (same as the cable from your CPU to the computer monitor) to view my jpeg digital pictures. I could use the mouse to find my photo directories, veiw photos as a slide, etc.

When I hooked up the cable, I had the option of using the TV as the computer monitor or have both the laptop screen and the TV display on.

Can LCD HDTV bought in US be used in Singapore or Malaysia?

Q. Thinking of buying a 32 or 37 in Samsung or others LCD HDTV in USA and taking it back to my Mum in Singapore, can this be used there if the power input is universal? I know in Singapore it is PAL but isn't there a setting in menu for either NTSC or Pal, by switching it over n will it work?

A. I don't think so. The actual electricity power may be different and the number of "cycles" per second, never mind the shape of the plug. Also there would be no warranty. Better you just buy her one when you get to Singapore.
