skippybangkok Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Had a Samsung 60" for 8 years which faired well...... But with the new HD channels in my True box, it's clear the gal just ain't up to it. Looked around, saw a 70" sharp, but sharp quality sucks ( I know, cause used to audit their factories ). Samsun has a 60" "smart tv" which is nice, but look,s smaller than my current one. Down side, it uses them flickery glasses. LG has a 65" I think in 3D using polarized glasses..... But resolution looks bad in 3d ( lines ) and the 3D is blurry when close..... But I like the big google polarized glasses.... Any one with recommendations ,.,, hope fully will last me about 8 or more years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have a bigger Samsung LED TV in my living room downstairs, but a slightly older model)..dont really use the voice or motion controls.... they also have a 65" version of the Series 8000 http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN65ES8000FXZA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommoPhysicist Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Samsung do a 60" full HD Plasma for 66k. I wouldn't bother with all the 'SMART' gimmicks that are done loads better by a cheap PC connected to your Tv. As for LED/LCD still laggy and very poor picture when compared to the latest plasmas.

chris2004 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Does it have to be 60" ? My 55" LED LG is great with passive 3D. About 50K. LEDs are better than Plasmas IMO. LG do a 65" version but cost 120K. But if you keep it for 8 years then not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the passive 3D over the on/off electronic glasses, but the resolution is only half compared to the electronic glass types ( that's why u see horizontal lines ). Found passive goes out of focus more with things popping out of the screen . Budget wise we always like more for less, but 120k is not out of the ball park .... I like big screens, and with 3D I feel a bigger screen is more important. Edited July 31, 2012 by skippybangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommoPhysicist Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Does anyone ever use 3D for more than 5 minutes? Oh wow that's clever ....... then chuck the glasses in a drawer forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, ur right.... i can see that happening............ basically... i do play Xbox, and since this is an investment hopefully for the next 8 years, i am sure the new Xbox and games will be in 3D..... as such, need something good.........

And if you read gamers reports for LGs (including the Plasmas), they say all their range is absolutely awful for gaming due to video lag induced by their video processor.

Need a PhD ( or a good forum ) these days to buy a light bulb. So LED's not good for gaming ? I have a old 61" projection from 8 years back..... kinda worked well. If LED not good, then what ? Plasma ? That chews power and degenerates over the years (?? ). Maybe time to hire a consultant ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
