What do you think of this TV?

Hey, I’m looking to buy an HD tv and I found one I think looks good for my price range. Just wanted a second opinion on it. I’m not gona spend anything more than $500 so this one looked about right for what I want (a TV to put in my room).

Tell me what you think please :smiley: Thanks!

You can’t really go wrong with an LG. I recently purchased a TV for my room (panasonic HD 1080p 42") although $700 might be out of your budget. What I found out when browsing is that if you can get an LG 32 (just an example) for $400 you can get a lower brand (such as panasonic) 36" for $400. Although if you want a top of the line TV go with an LG or sony.

Just don’t settle with a 720 tv, I know that’s not what you linked to, just giving you a warning. Also I would stay away from vizios.

That’s my $0.02

Get at least 120Hz TV. 60 will just have crap picture. I looked all over that page and didnt see anything mentioned about Hz. :no:

lol most TV are at 60, 3DTV’s uses two 60’s to make 120hz
theres nothing wrong with 60hz you want PC monitors a bit higher but TVs are fine with 60hz

anyway at original poster, I recommend saving up for a 42inch LED there’s a massive difference between the two you can’t beat the black levels that you get from LED TV’s

Thanks for all the info! The only larger TV I could really find that was anywhere near that price was this one: http://www.buy.com/prod/panasonic-viera-tc-l37u22-37-widescreen-1080p-lcd-hdtv-20-000-1/q/loc/111/214517183.html but I’m not really sure its worth the extra 80bucks to me. My rooms pretty small anyways so I think I’ll probably just go with the LG.

Yeah. LED’s cost an arm and a leg more. I have a 55" LG LED in my living room and the picture quality is incredible. It’s also about 5 times the price of my LCD. I have a 60Hz and it’s fine. There’s not a whole lot of difference between 60 and 120 (but if you look closely you can notice a difference.) Anything over 120 you will not notice, they just like to say 500Hz refresh rate! Just cause it’s a big number.

edit: that’s a 60 Hz on my 42" LCD. The LED has a 120.

Ya, I’m pretty sure I’m gona have to stick with an LCD. Everything else is just sooo expensive :stuck_out_tongue:
From my understanding one of the biggest problems with LCD is the viewing angle and I don’t plan on having more than 3 people watching it at once anyways so that shouldn’t really be a problem for my setup.

There is a lot of wrong with 60hz and I can see it all. Not only that I have a perfect vision(20/20) I also work in the field and see different TVs all the time.

A lot of Samsungs in my opinion have the best picture out there.

I prefer a Samsung because as my experience Samsung somehow is much better than LG :smiley: in mobiphone field, monitor…
I think a Samsung or Sony will work better!

Go to the stores and see how you like the images. And after Thanksgiving, prices are dropping. I bet you can do better price-wise. Definitely look for the 1080p.

well you could spot flaws in just about anything if you are around it long enough, most people just want a TV for general use and 32-42 inch at 60hz is just fine. you can make the jump to LED if you want the extra quality but I do agree the samsungs are very good TV, but LG are usally cheaper with not a big difference in quality.

Wait until the crazy Black Friday sales and try not to get trampled at the stores.

Ya, I thought of that the other day and now thats what I’m planning on doing :smiley: I’ve shopping on Black Friday the last two years so I think I have a pretty good idea of what to expect… the worst part is getting up at like four in the morning lol :o
