Time For a New TV - Opinions?
I'm looking for a new tv. been looking at the sony, samsung and vizio in the 46" range.
I'm really leaning towards the LED-LCD models. Walmart models are about my only option since that's the only store in about 30 miles, not to mention DW works there. Any opinions and/or input on these? Anybody have one or been around one a lot? TIA |
Get a full array LED-LCD, not an edge lit version. Additionally, look online, you can often find far better deals. Knowing your budget would be much more helpful, however.

I bought my son a small Vizio a year or so ago, and it's been fine so far. That's about the extent that I can help you.

Cheap as fuck. Nice picture. Bigger than life. You have to change a bulb every three years for $100 bucks, who cares. |

I want. You can get a nice used 72 for 8 hunski if you look. I don't care that it's not considered "special" by tech nerds. It sure as hell looks great to watch, and that is the most important thing right? |

How do they compare to the full array? Richer? More black? |
A big, shiny one.

The theoretic advantage that backlit tv's have is that they have an array of LED that they can selectively turn off allowing finer grained contrast control. The disadvantage of backlit is that the TV will be thicker and heavier. For edgelit, it is the newer technology mostly motivated to shrink the depth of a LED TV. However with the more advanced edge lit technology they can do much of the selective dimming that a backlit TV can with an array of LEDs. To do this they generally use a set of micro actuated mirrors to reflect the edge LEDs to the screen. This technology in my TV is called precision dimming. The disadvantage of this technology is that it's more expensive. BUT if you get an edge lit TV I would look for one with local or precision dimming. Backlit arrays will be cheaper, but they'll be thicker and heavier. Edgelit with localized dimming will have similar contrast ratios but be a thinner TV. |

here's some more background on the deal. for starters, UPS/Fed X LAUGHED at coming to our place in rural Arkansas. we're 3 miles from the closest mailbox on the high way!!
we don't care about uber sound systems, home theaters and the likes. DW works at the local walmart, 12 miles away, so she gets 10% off. she talked to a couple of the guys at work in the electronics dept. and they both recommended Samsung or Vizio over the Sony. I was really surprised! I haven't had a chance to personally talk to them but I'll try to Saturday if I can get out. (the humidity lately royally SCREWS with my breathing.) I have no problems with the $1300.00 price tag for the Sony. I read lots of REALLY BAD reps about the power supplies on the Samsungs crapping out. I watch a LOT of TV since I can't get out when it's real hot or cold. I want something that will be trouble free and last. Any more input? TIA!!! ETA: not ready to make the 3D jump yet. |
