LCD Televisions

[Krilons Resa]

So...who the fuck is the best around these days?

The best picture I have seen so far is probably the Sony's or Pioneer Elite even though they are outrageously priced. Im not a fan of Sony brand though. Samsung and Panasonic make a sweet TV as well so it seems. Best price to performance ratio seems to be either Vizio or LG. Anybody know any shit about this fuck?

I'm spending way too much money lately as you can see.

To hell with TV. Spend the money on audio.
If you're thinking, "my audio shit is high-end enough as it is", you can always find ways to spend more

I still have a 150 pound Panasonic with a ginormous picture tube. Works great.

lol @ Ken singlehandedly jump starting the economy.

I swear by Samsung ... have 2 LCD TV's and 2 PC monitors from them ... none even coughed a bit since buying them.

bought a 40" Samsung for the inlaws a few months ago and about to get another one for my folks after xmas.

LOL @ Jonathan

Aurel, that;s probably where I am going to going to tbh. Samsung seems to be the "bees-knees." I was going to go with a 52", but the more I think about it, the more I think it's overkill. Probably settle for a 46"er and save some loot.

Once I make this purchase early next year, watch me REALLY jump the shark and start to get into Home Theater shits. Fuck that though...I hope.

I've saved up a good amount of money by being very frugal in the past 1.5 years and making alot more money than I need to be making, so it;s time for me to splurge and treat msyelf,.

Hell yeah

Samsung LNT5271F 52-inch 1080p LCD HDTV

^ i think that is gonna be the bitch right there^

 

[Krilons Resa]

nevermind...just seen they have 46ers for way lower.

 

[dorian gray]

I, too, use Samsung....but only because I can't afford Pioneer.
That and I've lost all interest in video.
I plan on getting rid of cable as soon as the special deal is over.

I sound like Adrian.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I've got the Samsung 4061, it works great

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, Im gonna go with some 46" Samsung LCD HDTV They are fucking gorgeous.

Moving in the my girlfriend within the month and get that shit and use my BIC Venturi's as speakers for the Video. And Ill buy that kickass Oppo DVD player.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

are you gonna Blu-ray it at all?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Nope.

samsung is the way to go. ive got one and its been great for the 4 years ive had it. i also swear by their appliances. i own a samsung washer and dryer, no problems at all for 3 years. their refrigerators sell themselves.

good company samsung is

 

[Krilons Resa]

So, I ahve decided which model I want. Now I just have to decide if I want a 46" or a 52". The price difference between the two is $400.

Samsung LN52A650 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV
Samsung LN46A650 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

 

[lurch70]

how far do you sit from the set?

 

[Krilons Resa]

I'd say approximately 8.5 feet or so.

Any good TV calibration DVD's or something?

 

[Krilons Resa]

And I'll be ordering this sweet fucking DVD player to go along with it:

OPPO DV-981HD 1080p Up-Converting Universal DVD Player

have fun with this one ...

i woudl say 46 is enough, but sounds like you're going balls out anyway so I am pretty sure you will end up with the 52
