Q. I watch a ton of Blu-Rays, HD cable and video games kn mh Samsung 46" LED TV. It is now over a year old. I run it about 4-5 hours a day, backlight set to 7, brightness at 40, contrast at 100, dark levels at darkest. These settings look outstanding with what I watch and play.
Based on these settings, what would the approx. lifespan of my TV be?

A. Most tv in the market today are rated at 60,000 to 100,000 hours before they go half it's brightness. This also depends on the brand that you get. Any bargain price tv are not very reliable. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs along with the pro and con of each technology. You will notice that Panasonic dominates the list with a Plasma tv. In November issue of the magazine it named the Panasonic Plasma tv model VT25 as the best tv for 2010. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I still have my first Pioneer Plasma tv model 4330 purchased in 2002 and have had no problems (purchase price was $6,400). Hope this will help you out.
What is better DLP Projector or LCD TV or Plasma?
Q. I want something big and i mostly play in dark or almost dark. What are the pros and cons of them and which is better for gaming, movies, and tv. But mostly gaming. Thanks!
A. Projector are more expensive and the lamps are only rated for 2,000 hours of use, while LCD and Plasma are 60,000 to 100,000 hours. Keep in mind that you also need a video screen for a projector and it can only project a picture and no audio or tv tuner to watch tv. LCD on the other hand have a problem with blur motion when watching fast action sports of playing video games. The faster refresh rate of 120HZ or the 240HZ will bring the price of the tv higher. Depending on the size you are looking to get. LCD can go up to 60" while the Plasma at 65" and projectors up to 130" (depending on the projector). Plasma is still the better buy and you won't have to worry about the blur motion. Recommend you go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. You will notice that Panasonic dominates the list with the Plasma tv. In November issue of the magazine it named the Panasonic Plasma tv model VT25 as the best tv for 2010.
