Researching plasma vs lcd is doing my head in.
The power used by plasma's is a big worry for me. There is apparently an energy star rating system coming for TV's like there is for other appliances.
Then I reckon the plasma $$ will drop as more lean towards lcd.
I hear that lcd did have issues with BLACK blacks but that is becoming less of an issue.
I am leaning towards a Samsung 46" LA46A650.
Can I get some input as well please? |
My girlfriend's dad has this exact model. All I can say is wow, but this is accompanied by a disclaimer stating that I don't have alot of expertise when it comes to the quality of big televisions.
The Good - My first impression of this tv was, 'It's like 3D but not." The clarity and depth of the picture is quite stunning. Viewing angle is massive. HD tv, DVD's, sport etc look unbelievable. I had no idea tv could look this hot.
The Bad - Somewhat hidden on switch. There's quite alot of 'white light' so to speak. For example with the lights out the whole room is still lit up. This annoyed me at first but now I barely notice it. I'm not sure if this is common to alot of big screen televisions.
I can't comment on power consumption, reliability etc.
This unit was bought from Dick Smith after they matched Bing Lee's price then this reduced price was subjected to the wrath of a discount card (Woolworths? i think). Also included was a Samsung Blu Ray player.
