My Dad is getting a 65 inch Sony LCD HDTV, what TV Stand is Best?!?

Q. He likes the Idea of the TV Stands with the Integrated Flat-Panel Mount.
I like this idea, Too!

But how many HDTV Stands with Flat-Panel Mounting can Hold a 65 inch LCD?!?

Here is an Example of what I mean:
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=A2870011&cs=19&c=us&l=en&st=ena%20data%20feed&dgc=ST&cid=25689&lid=584388&acd=43645,4,283221,0,710063377,1259739827,,0,0#Overview

What he Needs, is something that Doesn't take up too much more Floor Space, compared to his 9-year-old 53" Projection TV. His 53" seams to be Smaller at the Bottom, than the Screen-Area. About 3-ft. Wide on the Floor.

It Doesn't have to have the Integrated Flat-Panel Mount to hold-up the TV. It just Looks better.
He wan't one with Good Cable-Management, so his Cables aren't Exposed to much.
Right now, all the Cables are Pretty-well Hidden behind his 53" Sony Projection TV.

Other than the HDTV Stand I have in the Link above, what Other Stands are Out there that can Hold the Sony KDL-65W5100 ?!? (Yes, it's Huge)
No, people!

There ARE Stands for TV's of this Size!

I'm Asking about one that Holds-up the TV, from the Rear!
Didn't you guys check-out my Link??!??
You first 2 guys don't get out much.

Mitsubishi makes an 82" DLP!
I've seen it in Best Buy & HH Gregg.
65" HDTV's have been around since the HDTV came out in Projection Form! <:P
Anon, if you don't know anything, Don't Bother Answering.
'Wow, just wow', how stupid are you?!?

A. Well why don't you get that stand then? I have one similar to that and it also offers a little cable so that if it tends to be front heavy, the cable offers support to keep it to the wall.

this is another one I found but its a corner mounting system
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11961598

those are pretty good systems to use unless you do what the first poster said, just mount it on the wall and buy an extra entertainment bookcase to store all the electronics in

Original Question

which tv is better an lcd hdtv or a plasma hdtv?

Q. because i want tv that delivers great quality image and also that looks great if i plug in my ps3 system and also that doesnt mess up in a couple of years

A. Actually, you will find mostly LCDs below 42", and mostly plasmas above 42" - mainly because it's hard to make small plasma screens, and it's hard to make large LCD screens!
The overlap used to be between 37" and 45", but now it has widened to between 32" and 65" where you can choose either LCD or plasma. Bigger LCDs are getting more common as time goes on than are smaller plasmas.
The main advantages of plasma are higher color saturation and quicker pixel response. But they use much more power, and they can burn in (that is, develop a ghost image if left on the same or similar image for long periods of time). There is a technique manufacturers are using of "orbiting" the pixels to reduce burn-in, but if you have a video game with a fixed image (like a menu along the bottom or top of the screen) for hours, it could still burn in.
The main advantages of LCD are lower power consumption, and the fact that they never burn in. LCD color saturation and responsiveness have also improved to the point that I can't see the difference without being told which is which (except that the monster sizes tend to be plasma and the smaller sizes tend to be LCD so I could guess based on that). LCDs also weigh less than plasmas, should you be planning on mounting one on the wall.
LCD sets keep getting bigger and better - Sharp's Aquos line of LCD TVs go up to 65" in size and have beautiful images, but they cost a mint. If I had the money and the space, I would love to own one.
I just bought an LCD HDTV, and I am quite pleased with it. The LCD/plasma decision was actually not an issue, because it had to be a 26" model to fit an existing entertainment center (and they don't make plasma screens that small). But, I am pleased with it, including its use as a computer monitor.

I'm looking for a new HDTV,I wanted an LCD, but I want a TV larger than 60 inches. What do you recommend?

Q. If there is an LCD HDTV that is 60 inches to 65 inches that would be great, but I also want a quality TV. Are there any HDTVs over 60 inches? If not which would be my next best choice? Anything smaller would just not be suitable in my living room because the TV is far from everything else. Thanks in advance

A. There are several 60- to 65-inch flat-panel LCD HD monitors and TVs available (see the HDTV Solutions resource listed below.) However, other than Sharp�s LC65D64U and Olevia�s 265T FHD HDTVs, they are quite expensive, especially when compared to the more cost-effective, large screen alternatives such as plasma displays and front projection systems.

Within a fairly reasonable price range for the 57- to 65-inch class of flat panel displays I recommend that you give strong consideration to models from Panasonic (model TH-58PZ800U) and Pioneer (models PRO-151FD or PDP-6010FD.) As a distant choice you may want to take a look at the Samsung PN63A650 and PN58A650 plasma HDTVs, perhaps even models from Hitachi and LG Electronics.

For close to the price of a high quality, high performance, large screen flat-panel (plasma) display you can purchase a much more versatile, arguably better performing, front projector IF you have the ability to reasonably control the ambient light in your viewing environment. If you choose to go this route then you will have a multitude of good, cost-effective choices that will allow you to obtain a high quality, theater-like video image in the 65- to 100-inch size range. My top choice/recommendation is JVC�s DLA-RS2U D-ILA (LCoS) projector followed by JVC�s DLA-RS1X and DLA-HD100 D-ILA projectors with honorable mention going to Sony�s VPL-VW60 (great performer but not much light output hence a smaller-than-average screen size is best) and Epson�s Home Cinema 1080 UB and Pro Cinema 1080 UB 3LCD projectors. There are also several good (single-chip) DLP projectors that may also be worth considering particularly if ambient light control is an issue, in which case you should take a close look at Optoma�s impressive HD81-LV projector. It�s also worth noting that several of these home theater projectors can be used with an aftermarket anamorphic lens/prism attachment* (Schneider Optics, Panamorph, or the do-it-yourself CAVX Aussiemorphic Lens kit) to project an immersive, theater-like 2.35:1 video image when watching movies.

There is one notable drawback with a projection system, especially if you will be using such a system for all of your day-to-day television viewing, and that is the cost of maintenance; specifically the cost of periodic relamping. If you are able to keep your viewing environment sufficiently light-free, thereby allowing you to run the projector more conservatively in terms of light output, then you may be able to extend the relamping intervals saving yourself money.

Original Question

What are the differences between LCD HDTVs and Plasma HDTVs?

Q. What are their Pros and Cons?

A. LCD HDTVs:

LCD uses little pixels which contain liquid crystals inside of them. These liquid crystals alternate to block out certain spectrums of light, so that the viewer only sees the colour allowed to pass through the pixel. When a million pixels (720p TV) or 2 million pixels (1080p TV) are put together side-by-side, the viewer sees one complete picture.

Pros:
- Longer life span (theoretically)
- Great for brightly lit rooms
- Is now available at bigger sizes like 65"
- No burn-in
- Cheaper to repair
- Uses less electricity

Cons:
- Prone to dead pixels
- Visible artifacts due to slow refresh rates (generally 60Hz)
- Harder to see in brightly lit rooms
- Plastic Screen


Plasma HDTVs:

Plasma HDTVs uses pixels that contain gases like Neon or Argon. When an electric current comes into contact with these gases, the gases heat up and turn into the plasma (thus the name), and because they are so hot, they glow. The colour they emit varies according to the electric current. Because the gases can change colour almost instantly (unlike the LCD's liquid crystals which need to alternate), they have a really high refresh rate.

Pros:
- Fantastic for dark rooms
- Glass Screen
- Very accurate colours
- Deeper blacks
- Comes in very big sizes
- Barely any artifacts due to high refresh rate

Cons:
- Uses more electricity (it'll end up costing no more than 5 cents a month)
- Prone to burn-in (if you leave the sae image on your screen for a long time)
- Slowly dims until the gases completely lose their luminosity
- Very expensive to repair
- LCD is slowly beginning to dominate HDTV market

http://www.sony-mea.com/product_details.asp?InpProdId=6708#

A. The Bravias are nice, but check out some of the new Samsung and Sharp models first. I had a sharp 52" D62 series LCD, and it looked great but had banding problems (dark vertical bars). It wasn't always noticeable, but once you saw them it's all you saw. I understand the new Sharp D92 series have some of the best pictures out there.

I went with new Samsung LN-T 66 series 40" LCD. (65 and 66 series are very silimar, 61 series is the same but with a non-glossy screen). It's 12" smaller but has a much better picture. I couldn't be happier with this set. For the ps3 it looks awesome!

What is the difference between Plasma and Lcd tv? Which has the clearer, crisp picture? ?

Q. I am totally confused! I thought that the LCD was supposed to be the clearer one but my son bought a plasma at the same time that I bought a LCD and his picture is much more clear than mine(he has subscribed to HD cable I've yet to sign up) Is it the HD cable that makes the difference? I would really like to know the difference between the two sets.

A. Plasma vs LCD

The ADVANTAGES of Plasma over LCD are:

1. Larger screen size availability.

2. Better contrast ratio and ability to render deeper blacks.

3. Better color accuracy and saturation.

4. Better motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images).

The DISADVANTAGES of Plasma vs LCD include:

1. Plasma TVs are more susceptible to burn-in of static images.

2. Plasma TVs generate more heat than LCDs, due to the need to light of phosphors to create the images.

3. Does not perform as well at higher altitudes.

4. Shorter display life span - this used to be the case. Early Plasmas had 30,000 hours or 8 hrs of viewing a day for 9 years, which was less than LCD. However, screen life span has now improved and 60,000 hour life span rating are now common, with some sets rated as high as 100,000 hours, due to technology improvements.

LCD television ADVANTAGES over Plasma include:

1. No burn-in of static images.

2. Cooler running temperature.

3. No high altitude use issues.

4. Increased image brightness over Plasma.

5. Lighter weight (when comparing same screen sizes) than Plasma counterparts.

6. Longer display life used to be a factor, but now LCD and Plasma sets both have at least 60,000 hour or higher lifespans.

DISADVANTAGES of LCD vs Plasma televisions include:

1. Lower contrast ratio, not as good rendering deep blacks.

2. Not as good at tracking motion (fast moving objects may exhibit lag artifacts) - However, this is improving with the recent implementation of 120Hz screen refresh rates in higher-end LCD sets.

3. Not as common in large screen sizes above 42-inches as Plasma. However, the number is growing fast, with 46 and 47-inch screen sizes becoming more common, and some LCD sets having a screen size as large as 65-inches now available to the general public.

4. Although LCD televisions do not suffer from burn-in susceptibility, it is possible that individual pixels on an LCD televisions can burn out, causing small, visible, black or white dots to appear on the screen. Individual pixels cannot be repaired, the whole screen would need to be replaced at that point, if the individual pixel burnout becomes annoying to you.

5. LCD televisions are typically more expensive than equivalent-sized Plasma televisions (although this is changing), especially when comparing EDTV Plasmas to HDTV-LCD Televisions.

Original Question

What is the best and cheapest Big Screen HDTV available?

Q. I'm looking for a 46" or 50" big screen TV. My budget is around $900 - $1100. I'm not to concerned with the type of TV, wether it's LCD, Plasma or Projection. Although, this new TVs main purpose is for gaming, so it must have HDMI and at least 720p. I'm also worried about latency as I've read that some newer televisions can be a little slow to display the image due to the image processing that takes place. Does anyone have any good recomendations as to a tv brand or type that fills all these criteria and is within my budget? I'm not opposed to purchasing online although I still want to stay within my budget after tax and shipping fees.

A. I do in fact have a recomendation and it's one shared by most experts in the audio/visual field. At this point in time the Hitachi f59 series is the absolute best bang for the buck available on the market, bar none. LCD? Plasma? DLP? Nope, it's got every set below $3000 covered hands down in every relevant category, be it picture quality, gaming performance or maintenance cost. The fact is that CRT is still the benchmark all others are judged by and at this point in time a High Def rear projection set such as the Hitachi offers the savvy buyer all the goodies without the hassles.

The F59 series is available in 51, 57 and 65 inch screen sizes, and as to price, well lets just say that on a good sale day you can pick up the 65 for between $1000-$1200 and the 57 for $999. Personally, I'd wait for the annual 'After the Super Bowl' sales as most retailers really offer some blowout pricing at this time, many close to those of 'Black Friday'. It was 'Black Friday' which put the 51 inch version on my doorstep at $699 shipped and I couldn't be happier with this set, heck I'd have paid full price and still considered it a steal. Yes, it really IS that good! But don't just take my word for it, take a look for youself at some of the factors which lead me to this purchase.

For instance lets look at the bulbs, or should I say lack of. ALL of the others technologies require an arc lamp bulb to provide the light source and it does a wonderful job...for about two years. 18-24 months is the average life expectancy of these bulbs under normal viewing conditions, then its time for replacement at a cost of $200. Average that out over the ten plus years you'll watch your typical CRT rear projection set like the Hitachi with ZERO bulbs and you'll see just what the latest 'High Tech' is really worth.

As you're a gamer this is the best choice once again due to a few things, the foremost being response time. CRT doesn't have to measure pixel response in milliseconds because there are none, thus instant and true image representaion is there 24/7/365. This is critical when playing first person shooters such as Halo on Xbox Live as the lag associated with the other technologies allows the slightest bit of lag. Sure, a 10ms lag doesn't seem like much but it is the difference in that hitting and missing those vital split second shots, the difference between tea bagging an downed opponent or cursing yourself blue over why your 'dead on' head shot failed to take out the bad guy. Of course the fact you require an HDMI port tells me you're of the PS3 persuasion but this set does indeed have and support HDMI so that's another base covered. Oh, and screen 'Burn In' isn't really an issue either anymore so than any other set, in fact less if proper caution such as not leaving ANYTHING paused for extended periods of time are taken.

Now as far as movie watching goes I certainly hope you have access to a lot of DVDs because viewing them on this set is more addictive than heroin or internet porn. My personal collection grows by the week now, even movies I've seen a million times gain new life on this set. And as for cable, well I have digital cable and see NO reason to upgrade to HD because the Standard def stations would remain the same and the combo of digital and this TV make you swear you were watching true High Def when tuned to any of the Discovery Network channels.

I'll not even go into the realm of picture quality, suffice to say 1080i with the true blacks and true color representation only CRT can deliver is still king of the hill despite every attempt to knock it off. So go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these bad boys, I promise, you'll not be dissapointed in any way, shape or form. Good luck and happy viewing

Any necessary cables etc needed for a new hdtv lcd tv?

Q. I want to surprise my hubby with a 65" hdtv lcd tv but I don't know if I need to purchase anything else for it. I heard there are other cables, connections associated with these tv's... Anyone know what I would need IF anything?! Thanks! =)

A. You may wish to consult this site where the information was written by a woman:

http://www.hdtvinfoport.com/HDTV-For-Women.html

You may wish to consult other pages that are there as well.

Firstly, screen size. The rule of thumb is that the optimum distance for viewing is twice the screen size (in your case 2 x 65 or 130 inches). That is nearly 11 feet. How is that in terms of where the TV will go in your home? If you are too close, the picture will not seem as nice, even in HD.

You did not indicate whether or not you use cable or a satellite feed but either way you will need a related box to receive HD signals. A non-HD box will not pass those signals so if you do not have an HD box you will have to get one. The store where you get the TV may or may not sell them.

You will need to have a good connection between the cable (or satellite) box and the TV. There are four ways to that starting with the best: HDMI (for video and audio), Component video, S-Video and RCA video. The last three need separate audio cables. The TV you have targeted will be able to handle all types. Go for the best you can.

Remember that you are going to have a great picture with the sound that is built into the TV itself. It will never be as good as home theatre surround sound as the conventional wisdom is that a great HD picture is only half the experience, great sound being the other half. You may want to see if you can get a package deal of TV and sound system.

If your hubby is a tech savvy about HDTVs and the related technology and would be want to be part of the purchase decision and hookup at home, you may wish to give him a gift certificate good for the purchase of an HDTV for which you will go with him. A romantic way of giving it to him might be a nice touch. I leave that to you.

You have lots to think about. Sorry about that.

Original Question

What should I be looking for in a big screen TV?

Q. I have heard that plasma is no good, LED is good (lasts about 15 yrs) and LCD is the best (lasts a lifetime). What are some recommendations on buying a big screen TV, as in things to look for?

A. Well, none of those statements are true!

Plasma and LCD last about the same amount of time...depending on brand! There is no way to know for sure how long LED will last since it is a new technology.

When looking for a new HDTV, the first step is to figure out what your budget will be. A key piece of advice here is "You get what you pay for"! Meaning if you go with a TV brand that is considerably cheaper then another, there's a good reason for that! Super cheap brands of TVs are not reliable and generally do not come close to name brand TVs in terms of picture quality!

Top 5 brands in terms of product reliability and overall picture quality:
1. Panasonic
2. Samsung
3. Sony
4. LG
5. Sharp

Other things to consider are LCD or Plasma....Screen size...720p vs 1080p...and so on! Size and resolution(720p vs 1080p) can be determined by knowing what distance from the TV that you sit. Typically the most common size range for the living room is between 42" - 50". Here is a nice chart that will help determine what resolution you actually need based on your seating distance and screen size(pay attention to the green & red lines and/or shaded areas only): http://s3.carltonbale.com/resolution_chart.html

Let me know if you need more help with the chart!

As for the LCD vs Plasma deal, it basically comes down to your preferences and viewing conditions! LCD TVs come in a wider range of sizes and resolutions but are more expensive and not as good with fast motion!

Plasma TVs on the other hand only come in sizes 42" to 65". But are much better at producing sharper images with fast motion content like sports, movies & gaming! They also have deeper blacks and more vivid and rich looking colors!

For more info on LCD and Plasmas, see here: http://www.plasma-lcd-facts.co.uk/

Hope this helps!

Firstly, screen size. The rule of thumb is that the optimum distance for viewing is twice the screen size (in your case 2 x 65 or 130 inches). That is nearly 11 feet. How is that in terms of where the TV will go in your home? If you are too close, the picture will not seem as nice, even in HD.

You did not indicate whether or not you use cable or a satellite feed but either way you will need a related box to receive HD signals. A non-HD box will not pass those signals so if you do not have an HD box you will have to get one. The store where you get the TV may or may not sell them.

You will need to have a good connection between the cable (or satellite) box and the TV. There are four ways to that starting with the best: HDMI (for video and audio), Component video, S-Video and RCA video. The last three need separate audio cables. The TV you have targeted will be able to handle all types. Go for the best you can.

Remember that you are going to have a great picture with the sound that is built into the TV itself. It will never be as good as home theatre surround sound as the conventional wisdom is that a great HD picture is only half the experience, great sound being the other half. You may want to see if you can get a package deal of TV and sound system.

If your hubby is a tech savvy about HDTVs and the related technology and would be want to be part of the purchase decision and hookup at home, you may wish to give him a gift certificate good for the purchase of an HDTV for which you will go with him. A romantic way of giving it to him might be a nice touch. I leave that to you.

You have lots to think about. Sorry about that.

What is the difference between Plasma and Lcd tv? Which has the clearer, crisp picture? ?

Q. I am totally confused! I thought that the LCD was supposed to be the clearer one but my son bought a plasma at the same time that I bought a LCD and his picture is much more clear than mine(he has subscribed to HD cable I've yet to sign up) Is it the HD cable that makes the difference? I would really like to know the difference between the two sets.

A. Plasma vs LCD

The ADVANTAGES of Plasma over LCD are:

1. Larger screen size availability.

2. Better contrast ratio and ability to render deeper blacks.

3. Better color accuracy and saturation.

4. Better motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images).

The DISADVANTAGES of Plasma vs LCD include:

1. Plasma TVs are more susceptible to burn-in of static images.

2. Plasma TVs generate more heat than LCDs, due to the need to light of phosphors to create the images.

3. Does not perform as well at higher altitudes.

4. Shorter display life span - this used to be the case. Early Plasmas had 30,000 hours or 8 hrs of viewing a day for 9 years, which was less than LCD. However, screen life span has now improved and 60,000 hour life span rating are now common, with some sets rated as high as 100,000 hours, due to technology improvements.

LCD television ADVANTAGES over Plasma include:

1. No burn-in of static images.

2. Cooler running temperature.

3. No high altitude use issues.

4. Increased image brightness over Plasma.

5. Lighter weight (when comparing same screen sizes) than Plasma counterparts.

6. Longer display life used to be a factor, but now LCD and Plasma sets both have at least 60,000 hour or higher lifespans.

DISADVANTAGES of LCD vs Plasma televisions include:

1. Lower contrast ratio, not as good rendering deep blacks.

2. Not as good at tracking motion (fast moving objects may exhibit lag artifacts) - However, this is improving with the recent implementation of 120Hz screen refresh rates in higher-end LCD sets.

3. Not as common in large screen sizes above 42-inches as Plasma. However, the number is growing fast, with 46 and 47-inch screen sizes becoming more common, and some LCD sets having a screen size as large as 65-inches now available to the general public.

4. Although LCD televisions do not suffer from burn-in susceptibility, it is possible that individual pixels on an LCD televisions can burn out, causing small, visible, black or white dots to appear on the screen. Individual pixels cannot be repaired, the whole screen would need to be replaced at that point, if the individual pixel burnout becomes annoying to you.

5. LCD televisions are typically more expensive than equivalent-sized Plasma televisions (although this is changing), especially when comparing EDTV Plasmas to HDTV-LCD Televisions.

Original Question

What is the best and cheapest Big Screen HDTV available?

Q. I'm looking for a 46" or 50" big screen TV. My budget is around $900 - $1100. I'm not to concerned with the type of TV, wether it's LCD, Plasma or Projection. Although, this new TVs main purpose is for gaming, so it must have HDMI and at least 720p. I'm also worried about latency as I've read that some newer televisions can be a little slow to display the image due to the image processing that takes place. Does anyone have any good recomendations as to a tv brand or type that fills all these criteria and is within my budget? I'm not opposed to purchasing online although I still want to stay within my budget after tax and shipping fees.

A. I do in fact have a recomendation and it's one shared by most experts in the audio/visual field. At this point in time the Hitachi f59 series is the absolute best bang for the buck available on the market, bar none. LCD? Plasma? DLP? Nope, it's got every set below $3000 covered hands down in every relevant category, be it picture quality, gaming performance or maintenance cost. The fact is that CRT is still the benchmark all others are judged by and at this point in time a High Def rear projection set such as the Hitachi offers the savvy buyer all the goodies without the hassles.

The F59 series is available in 51, 57 and 65 inch screen sizes, and as to price, well lets just say that on a good sale day you can pick up the 65 for between $1000-$1200 and the 57 for $999. Personally, I'd wait for the annual 'After the Super Bowl' sales as most retailers really offer some blowout pricing at this time, many close to those of 'Black Friday'. It was 'Black Friday' which put the 51 inch version on my doorstep at $699 shipped and I couldn't be happier with this set, heck I'd have paid full price and still considered it a steal. Yes, it really IS that good! But don't just take my word for it, take a look for youself at some of the factors which lead me to this purchase.

For instance lets look at the bulbs, or should I say lack of. ALL of the others technologies require an arc lamp bulb to provide the light source and it does a wonderful job...for about two years. 18-24 months is the average life expectancy of these bulbs under normal viewing conditions, then its time for replacement at a cost of $200. Average that out over the ten plus years you'll watch your typical CRT rear projection set like the Hitachi with ZERO bulbs and you'll see just what the latest 'High Tech' is really worth.

As you're a gamer this is the best choice once again due to a few things, the foremost being response time. CRT doesn't have to measure pixel response in milliseconds because there are none, thus instant and true image representaion is there 24/7/365. This is critical when playing first person shooters such as Halo on Xbox Live as the lag associated with the other technologies allows the slightest bit of lag. Sure, a 10ms lag doesn't seem like much but it is the difference in that hitting and missing those vital split second shots, the difference between tea bagging an downed opponent or cursing yourself blue over why your 'dead on' head shot failed to take out the bad guy. Of course the fact you require an HDMI port tells me you're of the PS3 persuasion but this set does indeed have and support HDMI so that's another base covered. Oh, and screen 'Burn In' isn't really an issue either anymore so than any other set, in fact less if proper caution such as not leaving ANYTHING paused for extended periods of time are taken.

Now as far as movie watching goes I certainly hope you have access to a lot of DVDs because viewing them on this set is more addictive than heroin or internet porn. My personal collection grows by the week now, even movies I've seen a million times gain new life on this set. And as for cable, well I have digital cable and see NO reason to upgrade to HD because the Standard def stations would remain the same and the combo of digital and this TV make you swear you were watching true High Def when tuned to any of the Discovery Network channels.

I'll not even go into the realm of picture quality, suffice to say 1080i with the true blacks and true color representation only CRT can deliver is still king of the hill despite every attempt to knock it off. So go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these bad boys, I promise, you'll not be dissapointed in any way, shape or form. Good luck and happy viewing

What's the difference between Plasma and LCD?

Q. I'm purchasing a 52" television and i'm wondering what the difference is between a Plasma and and LCD HDTV. How is the picture? The LCD's are more expensive.

A. plasma is used when there is alot of LIGHT in the room. LCD in less light to no light rooms. LCD has a bulb to be easly replaced .Plasma no bulb. LCD Weighs less beacuse it does not need a thick peice of glass. You could go BIGGER for the same price with a DLP lcd for the price of a 50inch you get a 62-65 inch. Choose what you want by the Light in the room. buy a 1080P not i and a nice blueray player to get the best quality movie pic out.

Original Question

What should I know about getting an HDTV?

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.

Lcd tv or projector for movie room What speakers to purchase for surround sound?

Q. I just built a 10'-6"x18' move room. Now i have to decide a 65" lcd or install a projector on the ceiling. Also what spekers do i purchase for surround sound. I have a harmon kardon reciver already and a subwoofer.

A. This Mitsubishi WD-73737 73-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTV is great. I was looking at LCD and DLP TVs, and the DLP offer bigger screens and the same great picture at a lower price. HDTV, Blu-Ray, DVD, etc all look great on this TV. 1080p resolution is amazing, I have an older 52 inch HDTV, which displays 1080i and this DLP looks 10 times better.

Out of the box, this DLP is very color rich, especially in the reds and yellows, which I easily corrected using the PerfectPicture Menu. I toned down all colors by 5 and the red and yellow by 10. This made the picture look a lot better.

I am using various types of connections on it (HDMI, Component, and Composite) and each input delivers a great picture. I use the HDMI to connect my PS3, component cables connect my Dish receiver and DVD player, and the composite cable connects the Wii. This TV automatically recognizes when devices are connected and allows you to name each connnection.

You can't go wrong with this one.
