LED TV Reviews

I am looking at a Samsung HLT5087SAX 50-inch Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV…i want to know if this tv supports 1080p through componet cables. i also want to know all the tv’s that support 1080p through componet cabels. Thanks for any help
I heard Microsoft came out with an update that allowed the people with the older version of the 360 to get 1080p through their component cables. Since the older ones didnt have HDMI.

This is why i wanted a tv that could display 1080p through the component cables.

* Sharp LC-46D62U (46-inch 1080p LCD)
* Vizio GV46L HDTV (46-inch 1366×768 LCD)
* Westinghouse LvM-47W1 (47-inch 1080p LCD)
* Samsung LN-S4096D (40-inch 1080p LCD)
* Sony KDL-40XBR2 (40-inch 1080p LCD)
* Sharp LC-37D90U (37-inch 1080p LCD)
(The truth about 1080p)
In the last couple of years, there has been a big influx of HDTVs with 1080p native resolution, which typically cost a good deal more than their lower-resolution counterparts. But as we’ve been saying all along, once you get to high-def, the difference between resolutions becomes much more difficult to appreciate. We’ve done side-by-side tests between two 46-inch LCD HDTVs, one with 1366×768 resolution and the other with 1080p resolution, using the same 1080i source material, and it was extremely difficult for us to see any difference. It becomes even more difficult at smaller screen sizes or farther seating distances–say, more than 1.5 times the diagonal measurement of the screen. We’ve reviewed a 37-inch 1080p LCD, for example, where it was impossible to see the separation between horizontal lines at farther than 45 inches away.

I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to this, I know that LCD and Plasma have been out for a while now, as well as DLP. Just recently I saw one of those brand new LED Tvs.

So…which of these would be my ideal choice? I would use it much like anyone else would (gaming, watching blu-ray movies, HD programming, etc.)

Which of these offers the best overall picture quality? What are the strengths and weaknesses with each of these TVs?

Thanks!

In terms of picture quality…Plasma is the best!

Plasma TV’s = super high contrast ratios(2,000,000:1 dynamic; 40,000:1 native), giving you blackest blacks and more vivid and rich looking colors! Also have the fastest response times(.001ms) as well as fastest refresh rates(600hz), making them perfect for fast motion content like sports, movies & gaming. Currently…the only negative with today’s Plasma’s is energy consumption. On average uses the same as regular LCD’s but uses 40% more then LED LCD’s!

LED TV’s = high contrast ratios(3,000,000:1 dynamic; 15,000:1 native). Close to Plasma’s in pic quality(lower native contrast ratios)! However…response times(2ms) and refresh rates(240hz) still slower then Plasma’s! The main negative with LED LCD’s right now is cost! Very, very expensive compared to similar sized Plasma’s and LCD’s!

As for regular LCD’s, they tend to work ok for games as long as they have very fast response times! However, they generally do not come close to Plasma’s and LED’s in black levels or color saturation! They tend to have more ‘greyed’ blacks and washed out colors!

DLP’s on the other hand have very stunning pic qualities like LED’s and Plasma’s! However, they are very problematic and require new expensive lamps every couple thousand hours of use. Making them a bad long term investment!

Dollar for dollar…Plasma TV’s are the best performing HDTV out their right now! Great picture qualities for an affordable price! http://www.plasma-lcd-facts.co.uk/

Sponsored by: Discount-Merchant.com – “Your direct source for replacement lamps” – This is a video to show you how easy it is to replace your Mitsubishi lamp code 915P049010 lamp using an OEM Osram lamp. Your enclosure might say 915P04910(O150W). The 915P049010 is the part number and the O150W identifies the type of lamp used O = Osram and 150W obviously means it is a 150 watt Lamp or Bulb. Because the ballast can output 132W, we will be using a 132W/150W 1.0 mm arc ASP Osram lamp. These TVs use the newer, vented lamp from Osram, which is quickly becoming a major competitor to Philips UHP lamp technology.

With that in mind, due to my layoff/firing, cable tv is out of the question, and I don’t even have internet, brand new house wit no cable, internet, or house phone, we are going nuts here!!

So yeah sorry to sidetrack but what type of antenna can I use to take advantage of the FREE over the hair HDTV, i.e. free digital tv?

and where can I get this antenna?

What works best and why?

My manual does not say anything about ATSC, but bestbuy says it has a built in HDTV tuner, but where and how would i get hook up said antenna?

do tell, thank you kindly!

AV is right–there is very little difference in antenna types, other than flashy packaging and labeling. I have a cheap $8 antenna that works just fine for free HD programming, and I upgraded to a $27 amplified antenna (one that gets extra power from an electrical connection to catch the signals better) and I actually did see an improvement in the stability of the HD channels, and the reception of the SD channels. It also found a few more channels, as well. I would never spend more than $30 on an amplified antenna, though. That price was a bit much, I admit. Try a cheap antenna first, of course, and see if it suits you. Try the amplified antenna, compare the results, and return the one that doesn’t work as well. Save your receipts!
