Q. Im in the direction of getting a 1080p LCD HDTV. However, I am still deciding. What do I need to know? Consider I am keeping my standard definition DVD player and PlayStation 2.
A. Unless you have some sort of HD channel coming in, the tv is worthless, save its size. Watching regular cable tv on my 65" makes it look like trash. And since nearly EVERY thing that is in "1080p" is actually 720 upscaled, you can probably save some cash by going for that instead. Yes, even xbox and ps3 gamers are almost all entirely in 720.
Edit:
The crazy idiot below me listed four, when he said there were 3! LED and LCD are COMPLETELY different. One is liquid crystal, the other is LED light. Duh...... He also forgot about DLP projection. Don't let the media or anyone else lie to you. DLP looks every bit as good as LCD or Plasma, but you will notice a difference between any TV we have listed yet, and the new OLED and Laser tvs. Mitsubishi is the only company to make laser tvs yet, and from what I have heard, the picture is amazing. Oh, and he said LCD doesn't use alot of electricity? Thats garbage. They put off a ton of heat, which means they use more than most types of tvs.
Ups and downs for each type of TV
LCD
pro: Flat, good picture, and decent colors, getting cheaper
con: eats electricity, creates ALOT of heat, heavy. older models are 60-120 hrtz
Plasma
pro: Good color representation for the most part, clear picture, flat, can be heavy. usually more than 120 hrtz.
con: terrible black color, high possibility for image burn on most models, cost, can be heavy.
DLP
pro: comes in largest size of any tv out there, great color, including black, good picture, wont image burn for a long time, doesn't eat electricity
con:heavy and bulky if you get a larger one, not flat, bulbs do burn out after a year or more, sometimes price, older models cheaper. Most are 60-120 hrtz, with newer models 120+
LED
pro:crystal clear color and picture, amazing lifespan, FAST refresh rate
con: cost
Laser
pro:color and image quality are the best you can buy, larger screen, fast refresh rate.
con: COST!($7000) might be too big and heavy depending on the size you get.
No matter what you get you are making some trade-offs. I have a DLP, and I love it. Its a 65" Mitsubishi. I was going to get the 73", but getting the deal I did, I couldn't pass it up. I play my Xbox on it, and had high definition cable through Comcast, and it looked amazing.

When is the best time to buy a new tv? Before or after the Superbowl?
Q. Could someone give a brief overview of the differences between LED and HDTV? (I am thinking of purchasing something around 40 inches.)
Also, my purchase would not have to coincide with a Superbowl party. Do you think that prices would be better before or after the game? Or is there a better time of year to purchase a new televsion as new models are introduced?

A. There are 3 type of HDTV which popular in market now LCD HDTV, Plasma HDTV and LED HDTV.
Plasma uses gas plasma cells charged by precise electrical voltages to create a picture.
LCD screens (liquid crystal display) are in layman's terms sandwiches made up of liquid crystal pushed in the space between two glass plates. Images are created by varying the amount of electrical charge applied to the crystals
LED-backlit LCD television or LED TV is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting rather than fluorescent lights used in traditional LCD televisions
Each technology have their pro & con, here are pro & con for your decision
Pros of Plasma
- Better contrast ratio
- better ability to render deep blacks, more color depth,
- better motion tracking (response time)
- more availability in very large screen sizes.
Cons of Plasma
- more susceptible to burn-in (although this is not as much of a factor now, due to technology improvements in the past few years)
- more heat generation (as well as more power consumption)
- screen glare in brightly lit rooms
- heavier weight, and more delicate to ship.
Good brand that I would recommend for Plasma is Panasonic or Samsung

Pros of LCD
- LCD television advantages include no burn-in susceptibility
- cooler running
- less screen glare, more functional at high altitudes
- longer display life (although improvements are being made in Plasma screen life)
- looks better in brightly lit rooms
- less power consumption than Plasma.
Cons of LCD
- Lower contrast ratio
- not as good rendering deep blacks
- not as good at tracking motion (although this is improving, especially with the implementation of 120Hz refresh rates (and some now offer 240Hz) on higher-end models).
Good brand for LCD that I would recommend is Samsung or Sony

Pros & Cons of LED is almost same as LCD but LED come with better contrast ratio,better picture quality , super slim and 40% less power consumption but higher price

There are good deals before Superbowl party and another good time is around March which there will be new model out and price of old model will drop down.
