Buying a TV

[donjuan]

Been holding off on getting a new TV for awhile now but now that I am moving I'd like to get something for my new place. Looking for something 47-52 in with 1080p. Any recommendations on brands, places to buy, specific models, etc?

samsung is awesome

check out consumer reports.
last time I checked Samsung was graded the highest in the 37-42"
not sure about 47-52"

go to the lobby of your local old folks home and tell them you're borrowing it.

I have recently bought a Panasonic Viera Plasma. Plasma TV's are ideal for sport viewing whereas LCD's are better for movie viewing. I don't like the bright colors on LCD. I get a clear, crisp but not bright picture with my Plasma. And there is no need to buy 1080 if you don't watch movies because stations broadcast at 720.

Check out CNet for the latest reviews on T.V.'s. They have some good insights. Samsung is among the best overall but Panasonic rates highest in overall value when price is considered.

I've dealt with about 3-4 Samsungs that fit this description and all are great, no problems

Nowadays the technology is so good, you cant go wrong with plasma or LCD. Its all about brand, and everyone I've talked to including myself has said the samsung is the best they have had. These are of course the people who have owned multiple brands.

Samsung overall is the best

don't buy anything where bulb can burn out.

What he said.


And LCD's are only good in very well lit rooms. If you like to keep your living room relatively low lit, plasmas are better.

Not to mention that a plasma will cost about 1K less

i had a samsung it was good
Also have a 50" Panasonic plasma and i love it.
Just recently got a 40" Sony z5100 for the bedroom and that is really nice also.

I got a 46" sanyo 1080p. Awesome picture, and got an amazing price!

Just get a Japanese TV and you will be good.

I would ask AAO.

Try the Kangaroo Hopper RSX-2000. Discounted for Aussies and people from that region.

Everyone wants to harp on the 1080 technology. Unless you have a trained eye, you can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080. Waste of money. Buy a 720 model at a discount and you will be more than satisfied.
