HDTV, LED, 3D, 200Hz?

Q. I cannot make any decision on what tv i'm going to get. I was thinking of getting a 46" Sony 1080p 50Hz LCD then a Plasma now a LED at the moment i'm considering this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-UE40D6100-Widescreen-Internet-Freeview/dp/B004TB4XFO/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
but now i'm thinking it's too small for 3D and maybe 3D isn't worthwhile. So my question is really what do you think of the tv in the link and any suggestions budget wise i can go up to £700 but i'm looking for a tv around 37" and i know you can get a decent 47" for that money.

A. Forget LCD....LED will eventually replace LCD as their backlighting technology is superior and much more reliable. Plasma may be cheaper, make just as good video but they are noted for glare problems depending on their location and heavier power usage. 3D has not been around long enough yet for adequate evaluation. Give it some more time. Also, the bigger the better for 3D.

Original Question

What lasts the longest? LED, Plasma or LCD HDTV's?

Q.

A. LED is the newest technology, its the upgraded version of LCD.

We just bought a LED 1080P 3D Sony Bravia last night. Looks really good

What computer video card do i need to run 3D on Samsung 3D HDTV 240hz?

Q. I am getting a new 55" Samsung 3D HDTV 240hz 1080p LCD-LED television very soon.

My question is what video card for my computer am I going to need to run 3D games on that TV?

The video card I am using now is a ATI Radeon HD 4850
The price needs to be within $100-$400 USD

A. Details that would help would be what operating system that you plan to run. And what other specs you have for the system that you plan on using. I see that you are currently using an ATI card, so I would assume that you would want to have an ATI replacement card. I will also assume that you have enough room around your PCI slot to fit a dual slot card. Also power supply specs come in to play as well, especially where graphics are concerned. You want 600watt supply at the bare minimum. I would strongly suggest over 800watts and above to give you room to grow later.

Now you say you plan on running 3D games. That kinda narrows your list of possible choices to the more expensive end of the spectrum. Being able to play them and being able to play them well are two different things as I'm sure you know :P.

Requirements for HD3D Be sure to check that your TV is supported on this list. Also listed are the graphics cards that I recommended below. Go for the best that you can afford.
http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-hd3d/Pages/supported-hardware.aspx

An important note from that list is that you will also have to get additional hardware. (3D glasses and such). I couldn't find any on AMD's website. Researching further into it, it appears that AMD delegates the task of 3D hardware sourcing and compatibility to third party manufacturers. The other options force you to purchase a specific monitor and glasses.

Choices:

Radeon HD 5970 (Hemlock) 2GB $499
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102887
A bit over your price range, but well worth it. Fastest card out at the moment

Then right beneath that you have the Radeon HD 5870

Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 2GB $369
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102888

I chose that specific 5870 because of the memory. It's a 2GB card, beware of the prices there. Make sure that you are paying for the memory and not for an over clocked GPU on a 1GB card. Don't settle for less than 2GB. And don't pay for an overclocked card, any overclock that you would get is marginal and could be done for free yourself if you so choose.

Comparison chart of the two so you can see the differences and decide for yourself:
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/162?vs=165

To stay in your price range, you would want to stay with the 5870 though.

Now with all this said... I must mention that standard refresh rate for 3D is currently 120Hz and not 240Hz.
http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv/120hz-240hz-60hz.html -- Some reading on the subject.

Overall, I'd say those two cards are your choices. And congrats on the new TV. But stick with the 2D games for now, as for 3D technology, ATI doesn't seem to be on the ball.

How do I change the channel so its on games?

Q. I own a Sony Bravia LED LCD HDTV 3D.
We got it a few days ago and we have no idea how to get on the channel it needs to be on in order to play games.

Thanks in advance!!! :)
Sorry if this is in the wrong category... I had no idea where else to put it. :/

A. AV typically would be the channel which can be seen on the remote as an arrow pointing into a box, usually at the top. Your tv however sounds new so if you have hooked your tv to say and xbox 360 or ps3 using a HD cable then it would be on one of the HD channels, to view the list of channels press 'source' on your remote, if you are using a scart lead (i.e. red, yellow and white needles) then it will be on the scart channel. Look at the back of your TV to see which port you have inserted the cable from the console into, then go to that channel.

What's the difference if any between a Plasma 3D TV and a LED 3D?

Q. Plasma seems to be cheaper and I've enjoyed a normal one with blu ray dvds but I want to upgrade to 3D. Also worth mentioning is that I play a lot of Playstation 3 and my computer is also be hooked up to the TV,

A. Not much but some difference, main difference is that LED LCD HDTV 3D uses less energy hence more energy efficient than Plasma 3D, some of the high end Plasma TV's are just as energy efficient, so soon there won't be that much difference as far as energy consumption is concerned ..I have tried both and like the LED LCD HDTV 3D best when playing games..just be sure that whichever TV you decide on that the TV Display is 1080p with 120Hz refresh rating.. here is link that will help you decide which one you like most :)

Is that a 3D tv without the glasses? Is it one of those 4k TVs I've been hearing about recently? What is it?

A. Just google it. And yes it is called 4K Ultra HDTV. 2160P. Much better TV. Go to Best Buy and get it there if you get one. And it is 3D but with glasses and it is LED. Only difference is that it is a whole lot clearer tv

What are the best Gaming TV’s for 1080p ‘HD gaming’ on Xbox 360 and PS3?

Q. I want to buy a new HDTV for 1080p HD gaming on my Xbox 360 and PS3. I’m not sure what type of HDTV type is best gaming, whether it be plasma, LCD, LED, 3D etc.

Can someone please guide me on what type of HDTV works best for these systems for video games? Thanks!

A. There are specific types of HDTV's that work well for gaming and other types that don't.

First off, Wii does not support HD-Gaming. Only PS3 and Xbox 360 do.

Second, the most important feature needed for HDTV gaming is a high refresh rate to reduce lag and blur on fast moving objects. Older plasma models do not support this. You need to see the objects onscreen without any time-lapse with clarity or your gaming experience degrades severely.

The best gaming TV's are LCD/LED technology HDTV's due to higher refresh rates and lower lag rates. There are however a few exceptions in the Plasma category that were developed with more modern lag reduction features. So you will want to look at the AQUOS and VIERA Series HDTV's.

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.

Original Question

Can someone explain the difference between LCD, LED, and Plasma TVs? Also, if 3D TV worth it?

Q. As far as I know, the LED technology was designed to be better than LCDs. 3 years ago, LCD seems to be the top dog in all HDTVs due to the technology and power savings, but as of recently I see people really favor Plasma. From what I understand, the flaws that Plasma TVs used to have have been improved significantly and it's currently the best selection for heavy video gaming as it has much more Hz.

And then there's 3D TVs. To me, 3D is nothing more than a gimmick or fad that will die out pretty soon, but it's been 2 years and almost every major video game support it today. I've never had an experience with a 3D TV besides trying it out for a couple seconds, so I don't know if I should go for it.

I will be shopping for a new TV this Black Friday and am looking through various deals. Right now, I am looking through many deals but can't decide what are the drawbacks from each. My budget is $500 max (without tax and warranty). All things considered (brand, price, size, type, etc.), which is the best pick out of these four?

[1] $299.99 (Reg $899.99) | Toshiba 50" LED-backlit LCD TV 1080p (FullHD) 50L2200U

[2] $479.99 (Reg $679.99) | TCL 48" 1080p 240Hz LED HDTV

[3] $499.99 (Reg $799.99) Samsung 40" 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV with 3D

[4] $497.99 (Current $899.99) | Samsung 40" LED 1080p 120Hz 3D HDTV (UN40EH6030FXZA), with 2 pairs of 3D glasses

Thanks.

A. LED TV's are LED backlit LCD screens that are brighter and arguably sharper than their LCD counterparts. Plasmas have deeper blacks than LCD's and are more for movie watching but if you are into sports then LED/LCD is superior.

I agree with you that 3D is a fad and personally I get sick and develop headaches when looking at the 3D imagery. There have not been enough studies done to determine what long term health effects 3D screens have on the eyes and that alone would be enough to turn me off.

I will be shopping for a new TV this Black Friday and am looking through various deals. Right now, I am looking through many deals but can't decide what are the drawbacks from each. My budget is $500 max (without tax and warranty). All things considered (brand, price, size, type, etc.), which is the best pick out of these four?

[1] $299.99 (Reg $899.99) | Toshiba 50" LED-backlit LCD TV 1080p (FullHD) 50L2200U

[2] $479.99 (Reg $679.99) | TCL 48" 1080p 240Hz LED HDTV

[3] $499.99 (Reg $799.99) Samsung 40" 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV with 3D

[4] $497.99 (Current $899.99) | Samsung 40" LED 1080p 120Hz 3D HDTV (UN40EH6030FXZA), with 2 pairs of 3D glasses

Thanks.

A. LED TV's are LED backlit LCD screens that are brighter and arguably sharper than their LCD counterparts. Plasmas have deeper blacks than LCD's and are more for movie watching but if you are into sports then LED/LCD is superior.

I agree with you that 3D is a fad and personally I get sick and develop headaches when looking at the 3D imagery. There have not been enough studies done to determine what long term health effects 3D screens have on the eyes and that alone would be enough to turn me off.

Original Question

How Do You Clean a LCD TV And, Or Monitor Screens?

Q. I used the cleaning wipes that came with my LCD LED HD 3D monitor but it keeps leaving big streaks. i used it on my LCD HDTV and it did the same. So Please tell me how, and what do you clean them with, without leaving ugly streaks?

Both are Samsung brands if that matters.

A. Use Microfiber.

Don't press hard. This can cause damage.

Possible use of 50/50 distilled water and vinegar.
