LCD/Plasma TVs[views:2685][posts:23]_____________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 9:21am - the_reverend ""] it looks like I'm in the need of one of these... I wanted to wait until display port was available on everything and 1440p, but with all the Wii things that carina is buying, there is no room for the now "humongous" rear projection TV. I guess I'm looking for a wall mountable 48" to 52" LCD or Plasma TV with as many cool things as possible. any ideas? |

| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 9:23am - Niccolai ""] My buddies got a 48 with remote controll power swivel. Power swivel has got to be the laziest, but coolest invention ever. I highly recomend whatever tv you buy has it. I've got a westinghouse 40' 1080p. it's pretty bitchin. I like the built in dvd slot. I got it cuz my computer monitor is a westinghouse and was pretty good. I like this company. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 10:38am - the_reverend ""] jesus... $1999 for a tv. can I just get rid of the Wii? I'm going to have to clean out my back room and make a gaming area for me on the PS3 when she wants the Wii for herself. the only problem is that the "back room" isn't heated in the winter time. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 10:38am - the_reverend ""] and it's a mess. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 11:01am - UplandMan ""] I just bought a Samsung Series 6 (650) 46" and love it. Although hardcore LCD fans hate Samsung products claiming poor customer service, bad quality control, bad everything. I don't know. They sell a lot more units than say Sony or Pioneer (plasma) so could be why they see more issues. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 11:07am - RustyPS ""] Samsung LCDs are the way to go. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 11:16am - the_reverend ""] sony's always have the best, newest everything... that breaks in a year. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 11:46am - Mattkings ""] If you wanna get the best tv out right now and spend a little extra check out the Samsung 650. 40,46,52" sizes. If you wanna save some cash and still get a sweet tv go with the samsung 550. Solid sets. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 12:27pm - the_reverend ""] mm... ham.... but matt, you were wrong wrong about bluray/hddvd... So do these samsungs (or any) have display port? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 3:21pm - UplandMan ""] i believe mine does have the display port... i am very happy with my 650 46". after getting it calibrated the picture is incredible. I have the Samsung Blu Ray player as well. Breath taking picture. http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/...&model_cd=LN46A650A1FXZA&fullspec=F i looked at the 550 vs 650 for 2 weeks straight at various stores and 650 was way better looking (with that 120hz motion). But I mean if you don't want to spend that much the 550 was really good as well. http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/...aydiscplayers&model_cd=BD-P1500/XAA I will admit the Sony XBR5 was very impressive but damn too much loot! |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 4:31pm - UplandMan ""] i agree on Plasma... its a thing of the past. but i know some hardcore tv guys that swear by the Pioneer Plasmas. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 4:37pm - Mattkings ""] I have grown to love my bluray player! :NEWHORNS: Ill still use my hd dvd player from time to time too. But yeah samsung makes a quality LCD, not sure about the display ports. I know there older models did have them though. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 2,2008 7:33pm - kevord ""] I have a 42" sharp aquos lcd 1080p. It's a great TV. Sharp and Samsung make the best T.V.s. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 9:36pm - powerkok ""] Fuck Plasma. Sony XBR Sharp Aquos Samsung LG LCD those are all worthy... Not cheap tho. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 9:38pm - powerkok ""] Look for the contrast ratio, super black, super white, and refresh rate. Dosent really matter what brand if all those are good. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 2,2008 9:40pm - powerkok ""] I got my sony xbr 50 inch rockin the 1080p bluray now, and I am still convinced I have never seen a better picture. The aquos was the closest, and the blacks were maybe even a bit better. |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 21,2008 11:17am - xanonymousx ""] haha yeah fridges are expensive now. but why have the best camera and not the best tv? don't you ever want to put your pictures on tv? |
