Tonik Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 My 65 inch TV died while I was gone. Picture quality is everything, don't care about energy usage or any of that crap. I am thinking Plasma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have a plasma it has a good picture for a 720p tv. Walmart had a sale on 74in smart tv vizios for $1645. A week or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 samsung plasma FTW... early black friday deals should be rolling in, or 24 months same as cash at best buy... Samsung is at the very top of the list. The TV upstairs is a Samsung, very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Forget Samsung...I've had 2 plasmas and 1 LCD and all have had multiple issues. I've replaced the IR sensor (for the remote) in one twice and it still randomly brings up menus and stuff. I just read the latest consumer reports and Samsung is pretty high on the most repairs needed list. I've had an LG LED TV for over a year now and it's been flawless.

Bad324 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have all LED and LCD tv's and love every one of them, even my 70" sharp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Love my Pannisonic LCD, it's a refurb that I paid 1/2 price for 4 years ago and works like the day I bought it. I plan to upgrade next year when we put it in the office to an LED. My uncle has a 3D LED and it's just sick nasty. Like paper thin, light, and the pic is so much better than a plasma or LCD. Friends have plasma's and LCDS as well and no one really complains about either. I think any name brand will have one offs and the offbrands will have more issues, BUT when it's like 200 bucks for a 42inch who cares, buy 3 of them and when one breaks replace it, in the end you'll still save $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUYZFR1 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Plasma's do have the best picture quality. For the money i'd buy a panasonic st60 series in whatever size you want. http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/panasonic-tc-p55st60/4505-6482_7-35567256.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat0403 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Panasonic is stopping Plasma production, might want to snatch one of them up. I have been seeing a lot of good deals out there. My hands down favorite is the Sony 4k. Lots o money, but amazing pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're the odd man out here... any chance you bought them from walmart? Walmart buys in bulk, and strongarms the manufacturers to make products cheaper exclusively for them.

Bad324 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 No distortion on fast moving sports pics when the camera pans at fast speeds. this is my only complaint with my LED. Watching baseball and golf is the most noticeable with the blur on mine. I'm told it can be fixed and made a lot better but I've played with the settings and can only get it to where it is now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Plasma refresh rate is commonly 4-10 times as fast as the refresh rate of led/lcd... Historically, one of the best things about plasma. Edited November 5, 2013 by magley64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not sure if this is the case with samsung tv's or not, just a thought)Nope...Best Buy and HH Gregg. Consumer Reports seems to agree with my experience more or less...BTW, Panasonic had the best rating in terms of reliability. Buy what you want, I'm steering clear of Samsung and I was a huge Samsung proponent at one time.

Pokey Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I will more than likely be going to a big plasma next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Keep in mind that plasmas are more susceptible to burn in if you play video games or watch channels with images that persist (i.e. CNN). I don't think I'll buy another plasma. They get very hot and use a lot of electricity when compared to LED TV's. Won't be long before OLED TV's become affordable and that will be the ticket fo sho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Plasma FTW! I have a 52" Insignia for the last 6 years and not one problem. Only complaint I ever had was sound quality when turning way up for a game or something but a nice surround sound and you are set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm not buying another TV til it's a dirt cheap led smart TV or a reasonably priced 4k TV or 4x projector setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anden Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Plasma. Burn in isn't really a problem it goes away. I couldn't tell you the number of times kids have fell asleep playing video games. It goes away after a few hours of regular tv watching. Should also be able to flash the screen from thr menu to clear it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykill Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Plasma. My Panasonic has been flawless and has amazing picture qauality. No burn in issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carwhore Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I bought a Panasonic plasma 3-4 years ago. It was pioneers old design (the best they told me) thing crapped out after 2 years. Looked up online and they had a ton of issues. Still broken. I'm waiting for Black Friday to buy a led or lcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
