Title: HDTV help
Post by: *MAFIA* OUTLAW on December 05, 2008, 06:54:41 AM
I've been looking at getting a 40-42 inch hdtv. I heard samsung seems to be the best brand on lcd hdtvs but also a little pricey. I found a 42 inch philips for less than $800 with 1080p, 29,000 to 1 contrast whatever that means, and hd tuner with hdmi inputs. To me that sounds like a good ass deal but i found people say that philips sucks and is good both ways. Just wondering if anyone has an hdtv or has some good suggestions?

  I don't have an LCD, I have a Samsung 50' plasma that I love.  I actually think, and from what I have been told by many people that sell tv's, that plasma is still the way to go.  Anyway, here is what I got.

I don't know how much you want to spend.  Also, one of my girls bought a smaller Samsung for her bedroom, and it is also a great picture and great quality.

Here is something to help you find out what you want, a plasma or LCD.

I have a Samsung HD LCD the picture quality is amazing, real nice piece of kit both asthetically and picture quality.

Thats when you eventually tune the thing in. I wouldn't reccomend it to a technophobe. The picture options are endless its like using photoshop: Mode, Backlight, contrast, brightness, color, tint, colortone, size, digital nr, dnle, hdmi black level, movie plus, black adjust, dynamic contrast, gamma, color space, white balance, flesh tone, edge enhancement to name a few. The menus are really easy to navigate though so it just takes a bit of playing around with. Also I don't think Phillips are bad. I have a Phillips DVD player and I've never had any problems with it. It reads the most scratched up cd and never overheats. I presume their tv's match the same quality.

HD TV is amazing. I dont have it but my son in college has it in his frat house.  (what is wrong with that story?!)  We both have hdtv's though.  Mine is a polaroid, and his is a samsung.  Samsung seems to be the best. 

BTW...good lord Dune...for someone who doesnt work how do you have all those things???
