I think it’s better to shift on LED. Are you agreed with my friends?

Q. College friends are saying to change my LCD and instead of that, I should buy LED. What can be the solution dear?

A. Get plasma, it destroys LED/LCD in picture quality easily and are cheaper. You can get a GT25 or ST30 3d HD panasonic plasma at 42 inches for 1000 bucks and make your friends jealous as hell.

Look at Cnet's reviews Google best 3DTV or HDTV of 2011 and the top 5 are plasma's. Maybe 1 LED is in 6th place but its 3 grand.

samsung hdtv un46C, un46D, or UN46E?

Q. What's the difference between the C, D, and E? All I want is sick picture and sound. I don't care for extra features this TV will simply be used to play videogames and watch a movie every now and then

A. A quick explanation of the Samsung serial numbers:

Part 1, the display technology: UN = LED, LN = LCD, PN = plasma
Part 2, the size: easy to recognize, it's 46-inch
Part 3, the series: D6000, ES8000, C7000, loads of variations. The C series are from 2010, D is from 2011, E(S) is from 2012. The number indicates the specs/features.

A few examples: UN46Cxxxx is a 46-inch LED screen from 2010, a PN55Dxxxx is a 55-inch plasma from 2011. A UN55D7000 has the same features as a UN46D7000, just a bigger screen.

Over the last years, image quality improved but not as fast as new fancy features were added. If you don't need gesture control, internet access, smart TV features and apps, a HDTV from 2010 would be perfectly fine, the irony is that most of them are more expensive now that the new 2012 ones. The UN46C6500 for example costs about $1.4k, the UN46ES6500 slightly more than $1k.

Bottom line: My recommendation would be the UN46EH6000. No 3D, no unneeded features, but 240Hz refresh rate, decent image quality, 2x HDMI, 1x USB, Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby Pulse, barely more than $800 for a perfect "basic" HDTV. Sick sound? All modern flatscreen HDTVs have built-in 10-20 watt speakers. That's far from perfect, no matter what manufacturer you look at, these thin little speakers can't do wonders. Some sort of home theatre kit is definitely recommended for all audiophiles.

does a LG 47LW5300 47-Inch 1080p 120Hz Cinema 3D LED-LCD HDTV have a pc port?

Q. and anyother ports like hdmi usb things of that sorce

A. No, LG is just an descent quality TV manufacturer. They have a high repair rate. I would prefer Samsung over LG because of its LED and picture quality. Go for the top of the line TVs for 2011, including the UN46d7000 or UN46d8000. These are the best sets in the market today, including 3D as well.

Which HDTV is Better?

Q. Sony - KDL40BX420 LCD (1080p, 60Hz) - $580
Samsung - PN43D490 Plasma (720p, 3D, 60Hz) - $540

Which of these is better. Im going to use it mostly for gaming and tv, with the occasional movie. 3D would be cool but its not that important. I will be sitting far enough away that 1080p wont really matter. I was looking at them at best buy and the plasma looked a little dark but it was pretty bright in the store. Also, if you have another TV to recommend let me know.
32" - 45"
$400 - $650 (maybe a little more depending on the tv)

A. The Song LCD. Plasma has lots of issues, like leaving a trail when something or someone moves on the Tv, which is typically called "ghosting". Also Plasma screens sometimes "burnout". Though, Plasma has a better color spectrum. But the best type is an LED.
Also, there are only so many games you can play in 3D and you have to buy glasses which I've seen for an extra $200.

Original Question

Should I get an LCD or LED-LCD TV?

Q. Hey everybody, I'm looking for a new TV in the 300-350 dollar price range (size between 24 and 39 inches). I'm not very tech-savvy, so I thought I'd ask for some input on this. Just looking at BestBuy's website I see that there are LED LCDs now (probably have been around for awhile, but like I said I don't really keep up with this stuff). I've looked around online, and it seems to be that the LEDs are easier on the power bill, which is a big plus for me since I'm a grad student. But they are a little more expensive (though if it will pay off in the utilities as time goes on, I don't mind paying a little more). I'm just wondering if someone can tell me about any major differences quality-wise? Does one have a crisper, cleaner picture than the other, brighter colors, deeper blacks, all that good stuff? If someone wouldn't mind telling me about their experiences and opinions I'd appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

A. Plasma has the best picture overall with deepest blacks and many specs, with great deals too. Also the best TV's of 2011 in top 5 are plasma on Cnet. But it looks like you want a small HDTV and plasma's smallest size is 42 inches. I recommend just go with LCD because LED is the same thing. Go to best buy and I think LG has 32 inch 720p LCD's for 300. I recommend 720p because at 32 inches you won't notice a benefit for 1080p. I have a 46 inch plasma at 1080p which looks amazing and even the 720p channels that come through satellite look amazing. LG is a good LCD brand and will save you $$.

What to get, Plasma or LCD?

Q. Not sure what to purchase, new 3D Plasma HDTV or a 3D LED LCD HDTV?

A. Whether to get a plasma or led based lcd depends on your picture quality demands, budget, power requirements and design requirements.

Picture Quality: Plasma generates a picture by lighting a phosphor, where lcd's filter white light with a membrane. This gives plasma the edge in picture quality because the pixels generate the colors themselves. Also 3d is best on a plasma, since 3d cuts refresh rate by 50%.

LCD's often suffer from flash-lighting or clouding and make blacks look washed out. This is most noticeable on edge lit lcd's where the lights are in the corner of the screen. If you prefer LED for it's brightness and crispness you should definitely try to go for a local dimming LED tv. These tv's put the leds at the back of the screen and are able to shut off or dim in parts of the screen that are darker. These are a bit more expensive because they have 1300 leds opposed to 400 on edge lit tv's, but LG offers nice tv's that are based on local dimming that are affordable.

Viewing angle is best on plasma, edge lit led has horrible viewing angles, local dimming led's are better ( definitely with IPS panels ) but plasma wins here.

With regards to motion handling, plasma is still the best. LCD's got better and offer different Hz's to make the picture look smoother. (usually 120 or 240hz, higher uses a scanning backlight) Plasma uses a 600hz subfield drive system.

Plasmacells generate better colors in my opinion, but since they aren't able to completely shut off they will still leave a bit of a glow. Blacks are generally better than on lcd tv's, but there are local dimming sets that are actually beating plasma's now in terms of black level(~0.02ftl opposed to ~0.04ftl on newest plasma's). Plasma's are always better in shadow detail though because they offer per pixel control, where as a local dimming led has to cut the screen in small zones creating some spillover of light.

Budget: Plasma's offer more bang for the buck than led tv's, definately with regards to local dimming. A good 50" plasma tv is 1000-1500 dollars. A local dimming set is 1500-2000$. Edge lit lcd's generally suck. (Except samsung's top line with micro dimming plus) In the lower price segment you have more options with LED sets than in plasma, and cheap plasma's are often only 720p sets (1024x768 or 1366x768 resolution).

Power: Led tv's consume less power. Edge lit tv's use the least power.(around 100W) Then local dimming.(100-150W) Then plasma(250W average, a plasma uses less power on a dark screen). A plasma will cost you 30$ a year more on power on average.

Design: LED tv's generally look thinner and have better design. Plasma's got better though, and Samsung has introduced plasma's with an inch thinner bezel now for 2011.



I hope with this information you can make the right choice for you. If picture quality is the most important I personally prefer plasma but local dimming led's are also very good and some people prefer them. If powerconsumption or design is leading LED is the way to go. 2 recommended sets coming out around april: LG's LW7700 series for led based lcd or the Samsung D6500 plasma. They are both 3d enabled sets with active shutter glasses.

Is the extended warranty worth it for an LCD HDTV?

Q. I just bought the 32" Vizio VIA XVT Razor LED LCD 1080p 120Hz on December 4. 2011. I have until December 2012 to decide if I wanna buy the 1 year extended warranty for it. I'm torn on this. I didn't buy a warranty for my previous HDTV, & it never gave me any problems. I got that TV when HDTVs were first coming out. It was a 26" Samsung for like $720.

The reason why I ask is because I use it a lot. I'd say roughly 10 hours a day. That's how much I used my Samsung (give or take). What do you think? These extended warranties aint cheap.
I got the TV from Sam's Club. I know the Vizio brand very well! I've known about it for years. When I first heard of them, they made budget HDTVs, but now people tell me that their TVs are very good. I read all the reviews on the TV before I bought it. I think it has a 4.6/5 rating based on 96 people. I wouldn't get it if it was lower than 4/5. I LOVE the TV. Very clear & vibrant picture.

A. I always advise TV buyers to *not* buy an extended warranty or protection plan. Statistically, anything that's going to go wrong with a relatively new TV will happen during the first year when it's covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If you buy an extended warranty for 2 or 3 years beyond that, the TV may or may not fail during that time, and if it does, the cost of repair could be less than the cost of the extended warranty. An extended warranty is a gamble, and the buyer rarely wins the bet.

By any chance, did you buy the set at Costco? If yes, Costco doubles the manufacturer's warranty at no extra charge, giving you 2 years for a Vizio.
-----------------
Per your additional details: your comments about Vizio are consistent with current professional lab tests, i.e. Consumer Reports. A few years ago Vizio was widely regarded as a low-end brand. That has changed. Some of their models are now showing up on C/R top ten lists, and elsewhere. I have a 24 inch Vizio in my office, and it's as good as anything in its class.

Samsung midrange 2011 LED TVs vs Panasonic midrange 2011 Plasma TVs ?

Q.

A. Panasonic, Plasma HDTVs have the lowest MTBF(mean time between failures). They also are cheaper when we're talking about 42"-46" screens and up vs. LCD screens in this size range.
Off the top of my head, they produce better black levels, color quality, and off-axis viewing.

Checkout this direct link to not just Panasonic plasmas, but also a handful or two of other makers, to eliminate bias towards just Panasonic's lineup of their plasmas.

What to get, Plasma or LCD?

Q. Not sure what to purchase, new 3D Plasma HDTV or a 3D LED LCD HDTV?

A. Whether to get a plasma or led based lcd depends on your picture quality demands, budget, power requirements and design requirements.

Picture Quality: Plasma generates a picture by lighting a phosphor, where lcd's filter white light with a membrane. This gives plasma the edge in picture quality because the pixels generate the colors themselves. Also 3d is best on a plasma, since 3d cuts refresh rate by 50%.

LCD's often suffer from flash-lighting or clouding and make blacks look washed out. This is most noticeable on edge lit lcd's where the lights are in the corner of the screen. If you prefer LED for it's brightness and crispness you should definitely try to go for a local dimming LED tv. These tv's put the leds at the back of the screen and are able to shut off or dim in parts of the screen that are darker. These are a bit more expensive because they have 1300 leds opposed to 400 on edge lit tv's, but LG offers nice tv's that are based on local dimming that are affordable.

Viewing angle is best on plasma, edge lit led has horrible viewing angles, local dimming led's are better ( definitely with IPS panels ) but plasma wins here.

With regards to motion handling, plasma is still the best. LCD's got better and offer different Hz's to make the picture look smoother. (usually 120 or 240hz, higher uses a scanning backlight) Plasma uses a 600hz subfield drive system.

Plasmacells generate better colors in my opinion, but since they aren't able to completely shut off they will still leave a bit of a glow. Blacks are generally better than on lcd tv's, but there are local dimming sets that are actually beating plasma's now in terms of black level(~0.02ftl opposed to ~0.04ftl on newest plasma's). Plasma's are always better in shadow detail though because they offer per pixel control, where as a local dimming led has to cut the screen in small zones creating some spillover of light.

Budget: Plasma's offer more bang for the buck than led tv's, definately with regards to local dimming. A good 50" plasma tv is 1000-1500 dollars. A local dimming set is 1500-2000$. Edge lit lcd's generally suck. (Except samsung's top line with micro dimming plus) In the lower price segment you have more options with LED sets than in plasma, and cheap plasma's are often only 720p sets (1024x768 or 1366x768 resolution).

Power: Led tv's consume less power. Edge lit tv's use the least power.(around 100W) Then local dimming.(100-150W) Then plasma(250W average, a plasma uses less power on a dark screen). A plasma will cost you 30$ a year more on power on average.

Design: LED tv's generally look thinner and have better design. Plasma's got better though, and Samsung has introduced plasma's with an inch thinner bezel now for 2011.



I hope with this information you can make the right choice for you. If picture quality is the most important I personally prefer plasma but local dimming led's are also very good and some people prefer them. If powerconsumption or design is leading LED is the way to go. 2 recommended sets coming out around april: LG's LW7700 series for led based lcd or the Samsung D6500 plasma. They are both 3d enabled sets with active shutter glasses.

what company manufactures the proscan 19" wide screen digital led tv model pledv1948a?

Q.

A. I copied and pasted this from Wikipedia about Proscan

Proscan is one of the American brand divisions of Thomson Consumer Electronics, with products competing with higher-end electronics. The ProScan name is owned by RCA. The company created television and video products to compete with Sony's Trinitron XBR, Pioneer's Elite, and other electronics brand lines. Competition is focused mainly on price to size ratio. The tagline for ProScan is "So advanced, yet so simple."
The Proscan brand superseded the RCA Dimensia line in the early 1990s after the purchase of RCA by General Electric and lasted into the early 2000s until it was dropped for the current RCA Scenium brand. Thomson SA has never manufactured or distributed televisions in the United States labeled Thomson. In 2006, Thomson Consumer Electronics licensed the Proscan name to ON Corporation, although they retain ownership of the name and logotype. On Corporation sold ProScan to Curtis International Ltd. in 2011. ProScan is now owned by Curtis International Ltd..
The company now specializes in television, focusing mostly on HDTV LCD, LED and plasma televisions. It also offers home theater systems and a few televisions.

Original Question

Is the extended warranty worth it for an LCD HDTV?

Q. I just bought the 32" Vizio VIA XVT Razor LED LCD 1080p 120Hz on December 4. 2011. I have until December 2012 to decide if I wanna buy the 1 year extended warranty for it. I'm torn on this. I didn't buy a warranty for my previous HDTV, & it never gave me any problems. I got that TV when HDTVs were first coming out. It was a 26" Samsung for like $720.

The reason why I ask is because I use it a lot. I'd say roughly 10 hours a day. That's how much I used my Samsung (give or take). What do you think? These extended warranties aint cheap.
I got the TV from Sam's Club. I know the Vizio brand very well! I've known about it for years. When I first heard of them, they made budget HDTVs, but now people tell me that their TVs are very good. I read all the reviews on the TV before I bought it. I think it has a 4.6/5 rating based on 96 people. I wouldn't get it if it was lower than 4/5. I LOVE the TV. Very clear & vibrant picture.

A. I always advise TV buyers to *not* buy an extended warranty or protection plan. Statistically, anything that's going to go wrong with a relatively new TV will happen during the first year when it's covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If you buy an extended warranty for 2 or 3 years beyond that, the TV may or may not fail during that time, and if it does, the cost of repair could be less than the cost of the extended warranty. An extended warranty is a gamble, and the buyer rarely wins the bet.

By any chance, did you buy the set at Costco? If yes, Costco doubles the manufacturer's warranty at no extra charge, giving you 2 years for a Vizio.
-----------------
Per your additional details: your comments about Vizio are consistent with current professional lab tests, i.e. Consumer Reports. A few years ago Vizio was widely regarded as a low-end brand. That has changed. Some of their models are now showing up on C/R top ten lists, and elsewhere. I have a 24 inch Vizio in my office, and it's as good as anything in its class.

I think it’s better to shift on LED. Are you agreed with my friends?

Q. College friends are saying to change my LCD and instead of that, I should buy LED. What can be the solution dear?

A. Get plasma, it destroys LED/LCD in picture quality easily and are cheaper. You can get a GT25 or ST30 3d HD panasonic plasma at 42 inches for 1000 bucks and make your friends jealous as hell.

Look at Cnet's reviews Google best 3DTV or HDTV of 2011 and the top 5 are plasma's. Maybe 1 LED is in 6th place but its 3 grand.
