3D TVs

Actually Nick at my old house we used to get bad sunlight glare directly onto the plasma and it was almost unwatchable, we only had lace curtains and weren't planning on putting anything more heavy duty up as it was an original victorian hospital converted into a home.

i think it comes down to the finish of the screen mainly not lcd vs plasma. Saying that plasmas generally have a glassy surface ive noticed and lcds have a softer finish like computer screens but i have seen glossy lcds also that looked really glarey.. Havent seen a plasma with an anti glare finish maybe cause the way they work.. I dunno.. Also just because a tv's panel is 200hz is not a true representation of the speed of the tv. Ive seen 200hz lcds jitter at high speed motion movies. It probably comes down to how powerful the tv's processor is and whether it is a plasma or not... Am i right?

im a samsung led/lcd guy, not a fan of plasma tv's, they get image burn, weigh a TON, use more power.
then again im not into 200hz tv's either, the motion looks to weird to me.

modern plasmas dont get image burn

exactly...plasma as a technology has completely changed in the last 2 1/2 years...

For those of you who don't realise, "LED TV" is just a buzz word. Samsung made it up to increase sales, create hype etc. In reality its still an LCD TV that just uses LED backlights (which makes better contrast and saves more power.)

Two of the best articles i've found so far about this, they are definately worth a read! (they were written less than a month ago)

PLASMA vs LCD


LCD vs LED vs PLASMA

agreed, they should call it "led backlit lcd tv"....... but anybody that thinks that led's could be made up into pixels to make a tv screen should be back at pre school instead of buying tv's.

oh yeah another thing about plasma tv's i dont like, and correct me if im wrong (maybe new gen tv's dont have this), but its normal to have pixel burn and this is not covered by warranty? little black dots on the screen would shit me.

you should be back in preschool as your understanding of what your talkin about is minimal...

1 - 99% of LED screens are not back lit they are edge lit...backlit is still a very EARLY technology and only features on VERY high end panels
2 - plasma burn in isnt "black dots", its image retention/ghosting...meaning you will get a faint image (game minimaps, dvd menus, tv inputs, channel logos etc) showing in particular shades
3 - LCD/LED screens however get "black dots"...they are known as dead pixels...

lol meow, ok so i'm partially right about the lcd led's but only when talking about high end screens...
