Q&A: need help picking from 2 tvs, plasma 720p over lcd 1080p?


Posted by admin

Question by : need help picking from 2 tvs, plasma 720p over lcd 1080p?
im trying to pick from Samsung PS42C450 42-inch 600Hz Widescreen HD Ready Plasma TV with Freeview ( £352 ) or LG 42LD450 42-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD TV with Freeview (£366)

not sure which is best , will be used for ps3 alot and alot of just normal tv ( virgin cable ) and alot of movies( yes i am very lazy i know )

so the plasma will give 720p and as far as i am aware plasmas give better pictures (i think) but the lcd is full hd with 1080 p and there just about the same price.

what you guys think?

Best 40″ LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV?


Posted by admin

Question by Diana: Best 40″ LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV?
I’m from Canada, fyi.

So I’m in the market for a 40″ LCD HDTV, that is 1080p compatible and 120Hz. What is the best quality LCD that fits the bill currently? And out of those what is the best value? Some bonuses are USB compatibility. My budget is preferable something that will be around the 1000 mark when it goes on sale. But flexible, just not anything crazy.

The Samsung B610 for 1100 is okay for a non-sale price. B640 is also for the same price, but sold out. How does this compare to the 40XV645U REZGA? I am a little hesitant about sonys due to the fact they consistently get low reviews on various models on bestbuy/futureshop.ca
In response to Plasma:

I know that in terms of quality panasonic plasmas win hands down, but i want something that is low maintenance.

Best answer:

Answer by bbt91945
The Samsung would be the best choice. I still consider the Plasma tv as having the best picture quality and more reliable than an LCD tv. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews from last September. It compared the Panasonic 42″ Plasma to a Sony, LG, Toshiba and Vizio LCD tvs. The Plasma was the top choice and no further adjustment required out of the box and the only tv that was a THX certified. You will also notice that Panasonic tv was in each price category of entry to the high end. While Samsung and Sony did not, and the rest did not make the list. Hope this will help you out.

Q&A: is there any real difference between 1080p lcd tvs and hd ready without blu ray/freesat/ps3 etc.?


Posted by admin

Question by Crazy Peace: is there any real difference between 1080p lcd tvs and hd ready without blu ray/freesat/ps3 etc.?
basically i am looking at buying a nice new shiny flatscreen tv for my bedroom around 32 inches. however i am not sure whether or not to spend my money on a a 1080p lcd, or just a hd ready one. as far as i know 1080p is obviously more pixels but i want to know it makes a difference when im only going to connect a humax hard disk drive recorder and a dvd plarer to it, no freesat or bluray. If i only attached the humax and a normal dvd player, would the picture be any different on hd ready than 1080p.

any answers would be gr8ly appreciated. btw if it helps im looking at the “Panasonic Viera TX32LZD80 LCD HD Ready 1080p Digital Television, 32 Inch”

thanks in advance

-1 hour l8r..
(lol i had some trouble finding how 2 reply 2 my own Q…)

anyways i was thinking much the same thing with 32″not big enough 2 be a huge problem without 1080p. However if i can get that panasonic 1080p for £550, and its going to be the pride and joy of your room, is it not worth it? 32″ 1080p panasonic for £550? what r your thought on that, and what would u guys do.

also what do u mean by picture resolution.

Best answer:

Answer by Andy
At 32″ you don’t need to waste your money on 1080P as you will not notice a difference from a 720P model. 46″ or higher is when you should consider 1080P, but not at 32″. Save yourself some money and go 720P!!

Samsung 40″ 1080p 60hz LCD TV – never once reviewed?


Posted by admin

Question by : Samsung 40″ 1080p 60hz LCD TV – never once reviewed?
I have googled the specific model number, LN40B500, and I cannot find one customer review for this television. It is advertised under Best Buys Black Friday ad, and this specific model # is not being sold at Samsung.com, so I’m tryin to check out some customer opinions – and there are absolutely none!

Is this TV brand new? Or crap TV’s made from spare parts for Black Friday only? I just cannot believe there is not one customer review to be found!

Best answer:

Answer by jf
My guess is that its actually the LN40B530. The pricing and specs for it seems to fit the B530 model. Is it some kind of cheaper parts knock off? I don’t know. I hear rumors that such TVs exist, but no concrete evidence. Like I haven’t seen any consumer watch dog type of group or reporter actually claim as much, only people on the Internet.

What I think this could possibly be is a wholesale model being sent to Best Buy for liquidation. If you look at Wholesalers like Costco or Sam’s Club, they’ll often have unique model #’s for TVs that you are 100% sure is actually some other model number. I don’t know why they do that, but I see it happen all the time. So perhaps this B500 is one of those. I’m not 100% certain, but being that they’re trying to sell volumes of it at a discounted price, I think a wholesaler model would make sense.

I’m looking to get a 32″ LCD flat screen TV and was wondering if 1080p really makes a difference.?

Question by Richard C: I’m looking to get a 32″ LCD flat screen TV and was wondering if 1080p really makes a difference.?
Can you really tell the difference b/t 1080p and 720p in a 32″? I was looking at a Sony 1080p 32″ and have heard mixed reviews about 1080p at that screen size. Are networks broadcasting at 1080p or would it only be for blu-ray?

Best answer:

Answer by abhi18033
no it won’t be a huge difference compared to 720p at that screen size. also the only way to receive 1080 signal is from a blu ray player or ps3. networks broadcast in 1080i at best.
