Best place to by tv's online

**screamin chicken** · 12-31-2009, 05:02 AM

I have a 56" Samsung DLP, with a PS3 and love it, I bought another PS3 for the kids and I am wanting to buy another to put in my Basement, and it will most likely be on alot. I like the DLP because it does not get the burn in, I am thinking that the LCD, LED's also will not burn in?.
I bought mine from CC what are my options for the best deal online to buy, Thanks...

I have had a 50 inch plasma for almost 5 years. Play hours upon hours of video games on it an no burn. Just bought another plasma 46 inch this time, 1080p, 2,000,000 to 1 dynamic contrast ratio 600hz(which no lcd or led can do) for 690 bucks. Its a panasonic and I found a 50 inch same exact tv for 850. IMO no lcd or led out there can match a plasmas picture and in my experience in the past 5 years no burn happens. In fact non of my friends who have plasmas have any kind of burning and they all play 360 or ps3 on them.

The 42 inch 1080p 600hz you can buy online, the 46 inch you can only get in stores. The 50 inch you can also get online. If you want a lcd there are deals to be had at the 42inch and lower range but lcd panels get pricey to build after that. As for LEDs the led TVs out there arent real led, they jsut have led backlighting which is better but not worth the 2,000 price tag IMO. A real LED tv still costs 2500 for a 15 inch.

I know man, alot of people are. What they dont realize is that plasmas today dont have the problems of plasmas from 5-7 years ago and older. Also another good thing i love about plasmas is no matter what angle you are sitting from the TV the picture has the same light and looks just as good, LCD TVs get darker on one side as the angle increases.

your right, Ok I really have not reserched the Plasma since I was really wanting another DLP what do I want to look for to get the best picture, what specs.

First of all 1080p is obviously a good start, you probably know this but you will need a hdmi cable to be able to use 1080p. Most good plasmas have 600hz, lcd tvs are 60hz or 120hz and led lcd tvs are usually 240hz. Contrast ratio is another biggie but there are different kinds of contrast ratio such as native and dynamic. These numbers usually correspond but just because one TV says 2,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio and the same TV next to it says 30,000 to 1 doesnt mean the one with the 2,000,000 is better. You need to know what contrat ratio they are talking about. For example my TV has 2,000,000 to 1 dynamic contrast ratio and 40,000 to 1 native contrast ratio.

This is the 42 inch i was refering too, not sure how big of a tv you are looking for. Its 800 bucks and i know i said i got my 46 for 690 but this 42 inch is the S1 series which has a couple options my U1 series doesnt. Like a 30% brighter neo panel which also saves 30% energy and a no glare coating on the screen.

No problem, i like LCD TVs dont get me wrong and i will admit in theory tehy should last longer. But even if plasmas do burn out every 10 years like some people say i have no problem paying 700-800 bucks every 10 years for a better picture TV.

Also target is where i found the 50 inch 1080p plasma for 850.

Get the model number and lets do some research

Another thing to consider is resolution if you are going to hook a PC up to it.

Most plasmas don't have as many total pixels as a similar sized LCD.
