Electronics Suggestions on new TV

displacedinMN · 08-11-2013, 03:27 PM

looking at around 50 inch.

3d or not? Hearing that 3d is not being done much.

Watch mostly TV and football. Not many movies.
May be looking for a bundle-sound bar included.

Forget about the 3D, but gotta go 70 inch or up.

Having a top line model thats smaller (55) and then this past year talking the girlfriend into buying a 70 inch midlevel LED tv, I'm sold on bigger vs a bit of a bump in PQ if youve got a budget and debating on where its best served.

... and yes its awesome to have a girl that would go for getting that for herself and loves watching shit on it so much she decided to keep it at my place since I have the whole home theater setup & she doesnt want to be bothered with the technical side of electronics.

I got the 3D three years ago for espn 3d but don't use it much anymore. I've got a Samsung.

Thought I saw that ESPN Is scrapping the channel not too long from now- never took off.

Panasonic Viera plasma is hands down the best all-around TV

This.

Their price point is fantastic, too.

No 3D. It's a gimmick and not effective.

Personally, I'd go Vizio 65" LED or above from Costco. They automatically extend the warranty by a year and in most cases will take a return nearly 2 years after the purchase date. That can't be beat, IMO.

The soundbar and subwoofer combo is completely dependent on your room and needs. All of the flatscreen TV's, whether it's LED or LCD, need either a soundbar or good old fashioned surround (stereo receiver, multiple speakers, etc.) because a half-inch deep speaker doesn't cut it.

I just have a little Vizio, but for the money they kick ass.

IMO, 3D isn't a gimmick. I mean, maybe it is for a small TV, but on my projector, it's ****ing awesome. That could be because my screen is 140", and you feel a lot more immersed in the movies.

On those TV's, it's a gimmick. It splits a mono signal into stereo and thus provides a fake 3D image.

Ah. I've never actually seen a 3D movie on a television.

Bought a Samsung 46" LCD back when flat panels weren't so flat and a good one ran you about $2000, still running strong today and the picture is still better than 95% of the shit you see hanging on the wall at your local Best Buy.

I've never had any problems with it, so Samsung gets my recommendation for TVs.

Their computer monitors get a lot of good reviews as well so they know a little something about LED/LCD's.
