devil4u2c Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Okay so here is the deal. I have a 30" Emerson LCD in my living room that I am looking to replace. I am thinking something in the 50-60 inch range, probably LCD (I have a lot of windows and I have heard that could be a problem with a plasma). I have been looking at a few, but I would like some input. What brands you have had luck with and also brands that are garbage. Thanks Quote
herbykw Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 I have a 46" LCD PhilliPs with 240 hrtz refresh. I like it. I wanted the 55" but not enough $$$$. I can project my laptop to it wirelessly, have Internet radio and it has a USB port for music and pics. I got a good deal at Sams club.

devil4u2c Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Posted March 24, 2011 The samsungs, are real nice panels. What do you mostly watch? And what is your budget? Mostly DVD's and Blu-Rays(played on PS3) and also a little COD on the PS3, I do have digital Cable also. I am not real sure on the budget, Id say 2000 tops. Quote
shogen Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 The problem with all LED LCD televisions is that that all suffer from the same annoyance as plasma. Very very glossy panels and highly reflective, on top of that Samsung only has is vivid picture due to always using glossy panels on their LCD televisions. If it is a big problem with your windows OP, take a look at the televisions from different angles to see how bad some of them really are with the reflectiveness. Things to looks for are: motion enhancement: i.e. 120hz or 240hz and soon to be higher from Sony's new line-up this spring hopefully... lighting source: LED or cold cathode panel type: glossy or matte resolution: make sure it is 1080P Honestly your best televisions right now are gonna be the Sonys, Samsuns, Panasonics and thats it... I wouldn't totally rule out plasma as they are still amazing... Panasonic does it right... Buy one and evaluate...

sprkn_ranger Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 I'd spring for the samsung un55d6000s my parents just purchased one and it is a solid set and at 1890ish it will fit your budget.

devil4u2c Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks alot guys, You are just kind of reaffirming the direction I was heading anyways. I still havent ruled out plasmas because I do have shades that totally block out light if need be, Just kind of worried that I get it home and be pissed off about a random glare lol. Quote

Some of the higher end Sharp's are nice as well. Quote AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever! I'd hit that so fucking hard whoever pulled me out would be King of England.
