LED TV Reviews

I’ve been saving up for a HDTV for my dorm and now that I’m ready to purchase one, I cant decide which technology to go with. I’m looking for anything between 40" and 50" and it has to run 1080p since, other than wtaching tv/blu-ray, I’ll be using it for gaming on my ps3/xbox 360. I managed to find a 46′ plasma from panasonic online for $800 from circuit city. I also managed to find a 42" LCD from LG at a nearby store for $800. Recently I heard about LED technology and found a 40" LED tv from sharp for $1000 on dell.com. Now I know that plasma’s have been known to have deeper, darker blacks but I’ve heard that lcds have brighter, richer colors but suffer from motion blur. I haven’t done much research on LED tvs but I hear that they’re a mix between the two and are even better than plasmas. Which one should I choose?

In terms of overall picture quality…Plasma! And Panasonic makes the best!

LED LCD TVs and Plasma’s have similar contrast ratios. But that’s all that is similar! Plasma TVs have faster response times(.001ms) compared to LED(2ms). 2,000 times faster actually! And Plasma’s also have faster refresh rates then LED too(Plasma 600hz–LED 240hz)! This makes Plasma’s better at producing sharper motion with fast motion content like sports, movies and gaming! Plasma is the best…the numbers prove it!!!

Plasma TVs are also more affordable then LCD TVs…especially LED LCD TVs! However…LED LCD TVs use 40% less energy then Standard LCD and Plasma TVs. But the higher initial cost of the LED TV counter acts the saving you’d get from the lower energy use!

I highly recommend you go with a Panasonic Plasma for what you want out of the TV! Hope this helps!

I have a ton of questions about the newly announced Samsung UN46C7000 LED TV. You may have seen the ad at the academy awards.

1. The specifications on the Samsung website say that the TV will convert regular 2D content, to 3D content. Will this be true, and if so, will the quality be compromised?

2. How does/will it compare to Sony’s 3D TV? People who have experienced the Sony 3D demo at a Sony Style will say it was amazing. I’ve experienced it myself, but has anyone experienced Samsung’s 3D demo?

3. PS3 will have a firmware update to support 3D movies and games, but will the PS3 be compatible with Samsung’s 3D LED TV? Or will I have to buy a separate Samsung 3D Blu-Ray Player? This is the most important question for me, because I plan to play a lot of games and movies through my PS3.

4. Are there Samsung 3D demos out yet? If so, where can they be located?

5. How much will the 3D shutter glasses be, if I buy extra units?

6. Is there a different TV base compatible with the UN46C7000? Because I can’t stand the "cross design" of the base.

Thanks to anyone who can answer these questions. For more information about the Samsung 3D I’m talking about go to this link:

1. I’ve read plenty of comments from people at shows like CES 2010, and the ‘converts’ 2D to 3D seems to be OK, but it’s not perfect. It’s exponentially more complex to simulate 3D from 2D, than to upconvert standard def to simulated HD, bottom line, don’t expect to be amazed. Also, I’m sure the lag will be a killer so gaming with simulated 3D might be out of the question since 120 and 240Hz LCD TVs already suffer lag issues, some models worse than others.

2. Both are LCD, so from what I’ve read so far, neither will blow the other away. They both use shutter glasses, both are LCD, both are working from the same standard, both have the same refresh rate. Common sense tells me it’s going to be a wash.

3. All 3D TVs will be compatible with any 3D blu ray player. The blu ray/HDMI 1.4 spec keeps everyone on the same page.

4. Don’t know about the demos. but google Panasonic 3D their TVs will hit first (this week I think) the big press/roll out will be at the flagship store in NY, NY and then the rest of the best buy stores.

5. Glasses from Vizio, panasonic, Samsung, Sony have prices in the 99-129 dollar range per set but that info was announced at CES 2010, it was early info so that could change. Every maker will include at least one pair, of course rumors are floating that one company might choose to include two sets, but who knows about that one.

6. I have no idea about the base

I currently have an old LG LCD 32 in 720p TV. I want to upgrade my TV to at least a 1080P TV of the same size. Now is it worth it to pay a few hundred bucks extra for a 32in LED LCD TV or just get a regular 1080P 32in TV? I just got a PS3 so I can finally watch blu rays and would like the best experience possible

You can’t go wrong if you go for a Sony

I bought this TV: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=13337920
This blu-ray player: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=13905646
and this HDMI Cable: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370347713034&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I am trying to watch LOST on Blu-ray but the picture is all grainy. I have to picture settings on the TV set to "Dynamic" and the blu-ray settings set to 1080p.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I return the TV? I know it is an off brand but it got good reviews on walmart.com and price was really good.

I’d start by turning off the Dynamic setting. If that’s a dynamic contrast, that might hurt image quality. Its trying to keep up and can’t keep up possibly. And since contrast impacts the blacks, it could add noise/grain to the image if its pushing stuff to hard when its not supposed to.

It’s not the HDMI cable causing that problem. As a digital method of connection it either works or doesn’t work. The signal doesn’t degrade. Signal degradation only occurs in analog connections.

BluRay player seems like a perfectly fine model. Unless there’s some kind of image quality related setting in there, I don’t see it having much of an impact.

Is there any way for you to test the TV with another BluRay device? A friend or neighbour’s PS3 or something like that? If other devices with the same discs are producing the same results, then at least you know its with the TV (either a setting or possibly a defect).

Oh, does the TV have an NR setting? That’s Noise Reduction. If it does, I would toggle through the different settings for that. If turned on, that can actually sometimes do more harm than good. I would check the manual to see if that’s in your menus.
