Should I Buy a Plasma or an LCD Flat Panel Hdtv?

Should I buy a plasma or an LCD flat panel HDTV? That is the question for many would-be HDTV buyers in today’s flat panel dominated HDTV world. Plasma panels, or PDPs as they are referred to, are still considered by most display experts, me included, all things considered, to produce better pictures then LCD flat panel HDTVs. That, of course, is a generalization. Let’s define it for the purposes of determining what is better for a particular application. Strictly speaking, if picture quality is the primary priority, then the best plasmas will outperform the best LCD panels. This is due mainly to the fact that the better plasma panels have superior black level performance, which in turn gives them greater contrast ratio. Contrast ratio is the single most important component of a video picture to the human eye. We refer to this as the “Snap” or “Pop” of the picture. Additionally, better black level performance also equates to deeper more saturated color.   

Plasma Pros: 

·     Better blacks means better contrast ratio

·     Better color saturation due to better black level performance

·     Better motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images)

·     Bigger screen sizes for less money  

Plasma Cons: 

·     Reflective glass screens mean distracting reflections when light is bouncing off the screen

·     Not as bright as LCD panels

·     Potential burn-in problems from static images

·     Draws more electrical current then LCD panels

·     Does not perform as well at higher altitudes

Since we have already covered plasma’s superior contrast ratio due to better black level performance, let’s look at the other factors. If the set is designed properly with accurate color decoding, and accurate primary (Red, Green, and Blue) and colors, then, the better black levels will also contribute to more saturated and richer color reproduction. There are no speed issues with plasma so motion blur is not an issue. This means any fast action material whether film based entertainment on DVD or Blu-ray, Sports, and even video games will likely look better on a plasma panel. As far as pricing is concerned the playing field is getting to be more level now between the two display technologies, but plasma is still more affordable when it comes to screen sizes of 50-inches and larger.

Now let’s go over the negatives behind plasma. Reflective glass screens can be distracting when there is direct light hitting the screen. Manufacturers have, in recent years, refined the coating they apply to their screens to reduce this issue so it isn’t as big a problem as it used to be. It is true that plasma panels are not capable of as much light output inch for inch as their LCD counterparts. This would be an important consideration if the room has little or no light control, and you plan on watching a significant amount of the time during the day. Another issue or problem that is nowhere near as prevalent as it used to be is phosphor burn. This is still a potential problem, but it can be avoided and for the most part is no longer a permanent issue. We refer to it as “Image Retention” as it usually dissipates over a short period of time if you play 16:9 material that fills the screen.

LCD Pros: 

·     Extremely bright and therefore better able to compete with ambient light, which makes them a better choice for bright rooms.

·     No burn in issues.

·     No high altitude use issues.

LCD Cons: 

·     Generally poor black level performance, which also reduces contrast ratio.

·     Poorer motion tracking (potential motion lag in fast moving images).

·     The really large screen sizes from 52-inches and up are still generally more expensive than plasma.

The negative aspects of LCD start with inferior black level performance, which translates into a less snappy three dimensional picture.   Color saturation also tends not to be as good as plasma as a result of inferior blacks. There is a potential for motion tracking problems depending on the make a model of an LCD panel. This can be a real issue with fast motion, which of course occurs with most sporting events, and also with many fast action films as well.  

Before determining what is the best display type for you, the application or where the TV will be located, and what the primary viewing habits are should be carefully determined. For example, if you are going to be using the display in a room where you have control over the ambient light, etc, and picture quality is of primary concern, and you will be primarily interested in watching movies on Blu-ray or HDTV broadcasts from cable or Satellite, then plasma would be the right choice. On the other hand, if you plan on having the set in a room with a lot of ambient light, and little or no control over the light (shades, etc), and you will be using it frequently in high ambient light conditions, then an LCD panel would be a better choice. Also because of phosphor burn issues with plasmas, heavy video game users are better off with an LCD panel as they don’t have image retention or burn issues.   Whichever flat panel display type you opt for, make sure to do your homework as they are not all created equal. Shopping on price alone is a sure way to find disappointment in picture quality. On the other hand, there are some real good values in both categories.

Samsung LN52b750 – A Best Seller For Good Reason

The television is a great product, and just as it with mankind, it is always changing. Samsung’s newest product is the LN52B750 HDTV. With everything that is compacted into the TV, it is so much fun to have in your home. What exactly makes the Samsung LN52B750 such a great product?
A lot. To begin with, just take a look at its sophisticated appearance; since all of us want the best bargain for our money, nowadays, it takes a trooper to come back home with one of those big, bulky boxes. One of the great things about the Samsung LN52B750 is that is comes in a kind of charcoal grey so that it looks more modern.
The list of advantages goes on; this most recent addition to the television world is ideal for any home with its excellent contrast ratio, built-in anti-blur software, crisp full HD resolution and the fastest processing speeds on the market.
Just as it is with any television coming from the warehouse, the Samsung LN52B750 comes with a lot of cool features; picture-in-picture just might be a typical specification, but Anynet+ is anything but standard, incorporating the entire HD kit to be operated from the ease of one remote control. . . You can quit worrying about replacing batteries all the time, and your kids have fewer buttons to destroy.
Even more impressive is the Internet@TV service that lets you view online applications like Flickr and YouTube right on your TV. Furthermore, the Samsung LN52B750 could even be combined with your telephone, computer, mp3 player and more; you will never have to even so much as lift a finger as soon as you have seated yourself for the remainder of your day.

The Samsung LN52B750 52 Inch LCD HDTV – A Technology Review
Since buying my brand new Samsung LN52B750 52 inch LCD HDTV a few weeks ago, I have nothing but praise for it.
I ordered my Samsung LN52B750 model from the internet. I got free home delivery and received my TV two days after I ordered it in mint condition – and for a great price also.
When I set up and turned on the TV, all I could say was WOW! It was cinematic pictures in my own living room. I plugged in the DVD player and stuck in one of my Heroes season one box set DVDs and it really did feel like Nathan Petrelli was talking to me from the other side of the screen!
The Samsung LN52B750 52 inch LCD HDTV is the best HDTV money can buy right now – and that’s not just my opinion. Its a fact.
The technology of this TV is something else, and the technological features are what makes it the best HDTV out there. It has 1080p technology (also known as full HD), which means that its screen has 1080 horizontal scan lines or 1080 lines of vertical resolution, which means there are many more pixels than the its closest 720p technology competitors.
The more pixels your TV screen has, the sharper the images will be. And with the Samsung LN52B750 HDTV having the highest pixels available, it will give you the sharpest pictures money can possibly buy.
Another cool feature of this TV is its Internet@TV technology. This allows you to surf sites such as Yahoo!, Flickr and YouTube on your 52 inch screen via your remote control. All you need is a wired or wireless Ethernet connection and boom! You’re off!
I’ve compared my new TV with my old one by setting them up beside each other, and I have to say that I could see the better picture quality in the Samsung model straight away. My old TV is an HDTV made by Toshiba, and not too shabby at all I have to admit. But with the picture quality of the LN52B750 and all the extra cool features it has, I would recommend it to anyone.

Vizio HDTVs – America’s Bargain Brand

We, as Americans, are always on the hunt for the latest technology on the very best prices.  From that major mindset, a company that was virtually unknown until about 2006 emerged and has become a major player in the high definition world.  That company is known as Vizio.  Vizio HDTVs are becoming a go to brand when trying to create a more budget friendly HD setup, especially in today’s economic times.

Not to be confused with actual manufacturers like Sony or Samsung, Vizio HDTVs are a compilation of sub-contracted parts creating a lower budget HDTV.  This is similar to the no name company Olevia which has a similar market approach to the HD world.  Both of these companies are responsible for being a major contributor to the price wars that have since come into play for HDTV sets and have actually managed to take a bite out of the major name brand’s market share so it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Vizio HDTVs began as plasma offerings.  It wasn’t until recently, though, that Vizio moved to drop their plasma line and start manufacturing LCD HDTV’s at a more affordable price point.  Many have speculated that it’s because of Vizio’s sub-contracted supply chain that this move happened.  According to one of their co-founders, though, it’s simply due to LCD’s being brighter and alluring more customers.  Even with that, though, Vizio will surely change the market for LCD HDTVs as they have for the plasmas that preceded them.  Their sets are being tweaked to offer features many people love but aren’t willing to pay the exuberant premiums that come along with it.  One of these features is the LED backlight often found in high end LCD sets.

Vizio doesn’t claim to be an ultra high end premium brand that is out to match the features in LCD sets that can easily fetch $10,000 or more.  Instead, they have one principle and they do it well.  That principle is to create HDTVs that fit more within a comfortable price point for many Americans.  This opens the market up for budget HD enthusiasts who will enjoy the HD experience.  For that, Vizio HDTVs should always be taken into consideration when shopping for more barebones HD setups.  They can compete with models from other manufacturers well, just don’t expect the latest gadgets and interactivity that you’d find on HD sets commanding five or ten times the price.

Finding a great Vizio HDTV deal is easy when you know where to shop. Flat Panel TV technology is changing all the time. It’s important to be an informed consumer when making a new Vizio HDTV purchase. Getting the latest HDTV technology news and TV deals from Screen Sleuth is a great place to start your research before buying a new television.

Samsung LN46B550 The Perfect Value HDTV

Price: I can not find a better value in the market, not after the Amazon BD22U HP for a free Sharp Aquos Blu Ray, not to mention the delivery and VAT zero! Consumer Reports is the best value in its class, which itself has said that a good product at a price. Try to find another 46 “LCD, you get 4 HDMI ports, 70,000:1 contrast ratio, 6ms response time, good and reliable brand attached to it. You can not beat this product cost.

General appearance: Simply beautiful. Black trim all around is building very good (but very thin, of course) with “Touch of Color” function of the advertising plan. Is not as bright as the image of the show is Amazon, however, good lighting, you will enjoy. From 8-10 feet, everything you see on TV is a fanciful logo Samsung stuck at the bottom, but if you look closely at the bottom right you will notice some words are small. Watch and see that indeed the change, with the volume keys and the channel. But they are more comparable with touch screen technology, “Buttons. ” If you had your eyes closed and his fingers glided over this part of the context of television, you know something was there. But they are very sensitive, and contributes significantly to the overall look of the TV is so quiet and reserved. The stand is sturdy and stylish black color, easy to install (4 screws).

Display: just perfect. Now, I’m not a videophile, but it seems that the LCD screen blank for me. This is my first encounter with an LCD screen, so I’m surprised. I’m drooling on many of them in the store, but this is the first time I had. I come from a 32 “old school, which weigh like 150 pounds. This light, slim and beautiful television exactly what I wanted, and I would not recommend more than I am now. There are many options for all images in the menu, but Samsung LN46B550 box perfect. I understand that when you buy in stores like Best Buy, you have to do to optimize. Since it is directly from the cellar, they look great right away. It has the video mode, in standard mode, and a kind of best way in which all can be customized. You can adjust the warm colors, sharpness, hue, saturation, color green / red, black, dark, and more. It ‘a little’ difficult for someone like me who is not a monster technology. my spirit 1080p Blu-Ray Sharp is the fuser. Gorgeous TV. Oh, and 60Hz not bother me. I have not seen a 120Hz to 60Hz, but not worth the upgrade from $ 500.

This shall include: simple remote control that comes with a small cloth to clean your new toy when it gets dusty. Rather thick instruction manual that I made my way at the moment. The box packaging is huge, but it’s great, because at the top right next to the elevators, which makes the TV very easy to delete and add wherever you want. I do not remember if it can be displayed on the Amazon synopsis of the product, but tickets on the side of the TV is on the right side, if you look at the screen straight on. All my stuff is left of my chain of short duration not quite reach them. Just a quick note to plan for the future. N. band that I saw no shadow, no dead pixels, etc. Perfect.

The experience regular (CEVA): I have read so many negative things about this company that I have prepared for the worst. They called me one day after the television made (which was a Friday) and said: “The Samsung TV will be delivered Monday: [any time], 3-7. ” Not surprisingly, I was informed. I loved it. But they were delivered on time (around 6:40 on that day), and “White Glove” package from Amazon, it holds, which means that two individuals walked, I took the ladder of television, opened the box, putting the ’support and television mounted where I wanted to join me, and I saw that it worked before his departure. Do not take my trash (which is part of the glove of “white” package), but I wanted anyway, so that was not much. Good guys, do not expect a tip (do not give one), and had just completed a document that has done its job. A good  Experience overall!

Speed: I ordered Samsung LN46B550 on a Wednesday and got the following Wednesday.

The bad: The only negative I’ve had so far is that when I connected the ln46b550 TV satellite box, the colors are all dirty and the picture is grainy. The Blues were green, orange roses were, their faces were red, etc. , but I learned that it was only because my component cables were bad. When I connected the 3 per cent (plus shipping), HDMI cable, all my problems are gone, and the painting was perfect as described above.

Do not hesitate to buy this TV. Not regret it. Now I’m a fan of Samsung.
