3D TVs

Bumoing up

Now looking at tvs I'm tossing between Samsung led lcd 7 series or Panasonic neo plasma g series
Was gonna get the Panasonic but samsungs picture is pretty good.
Not so sure now :s

Go for the better picture quality. If you need business case from the misses just argue that it'll last for 5 years or longer and that it'll work out to be a few cents a day.

I've got a series 6 samsung and haven't regretted it.

Panasonic gt30...best picture and value IMHO ATM...

Give it another month. New models rolling out. Current line up of LED's: samsung are shit. Faults, backlight bleeding, shit blacks, pixelated images. Sony are better, but not by much. Sharp make a better panel than both. I had a current 60".Ironically, IMHO Toshiba are making some really good TV's lately. I own a 55". Not as heavily marketed, because the kickbacks aren't as good for the retailer. LG aren't even worth mentioning.

Panasonic plasmas are GOOD. Good blacks, fast response rates, good price points. Slightly heavier power consumption is a worthwhile sacrifice. 3D IMHO is overrated, but if that's why your upgrading, get Panasonic.

Optical out FTW. RCA two channel audio is gayer than Elton John on roller blades.

It's the blacks that define how good the picture is. If you look at the TV in the shop, ask them to put on a live action movie instead of a Pixar cartoon and you'll see what I'm talking about, make sure the brightness hasn't been wound up. Makes the blacks look darker. And shop around. Get opinions on different TV's from different shops. A lot of retailers will skip over a good tv just to push one they have more of in stock. Surround sound systems have around 30-40% profit margins, cables are around 50-60% profit. Keep that in mind, don't be scared to push for a good deal. It's really slow this time of year in electrical retail. A lot of places will suck your dick to get your money.

I picked up a 55" GT30 for $1700, gotta love the stock clearence and prices of "older" models. The wireless is hopeless, can't get it to connect with my android reliably. I choose the pana as its got a reputation for reliablity coz i want my screen to last a reasonable amount of time and not cost in the long run.

Lol, the problem would be the android phone :p

[tuned86]

maybe I got a dud wireless unit but even when it connects to the internet for veria link and the software update for the first time, it took me day to repetitive try to make an update. In the end, I had to switch all competing wireless devices (2 laptops) for it to connect and patch properly. I'll try tech support on monday.

Anyone can confirm pana wireless device works stable?

or maybe its as John says...andriod...

I would love to hear what exactly is wrong with Android...

[Delazy]

iPhone owner here dude hence the tongue after my remark...Panasonic tech support would be the best bet...they are usually pretty good...haven't heard of any dramas with all the screens I've sold...but I'm unsure how many of them use them on a network
