3D TVs

[FoldKing86]

Any new news on TV chaps, i see the Samsung range has voice and hand recognition type stuff. Im guessing with xmas on the way new stuff will be out shortly.

Looking for big and clear consistent picture quality, 3D is a plus but doesn't have to have it, although with the right movie its ok. Yes im no tight ass with tv's if it cost 5k to get what i want then that's what i pay, maybe

Currently using a LG 50" plasma that is not even true HD its only 1390x760 or some shit like that, thou to be honest its a awesome tv maybe i got lucky with this 1 but it really is a top tv, better then a mates twice as expensive true HD Sony, has served me well thus far this unit, but with ps4/5 on the way starting to look for a new unit.

From what little i know of Tv is once you go over 42" the plasma is a better picture.

Also last time i asked only 2 companies make Plasma panels, Panasonic and LG or was it LG and Sony, oh i cant remember, although that is 3yr old info and no doubt times might have changed.

Wait for the Panasonic VT50 to hit the market...Myer have it exclusively and it's possibly the best picture quality since pioneer left the market...tech junkies are going nuts over it in Japan/US...

Should start in 55" and work up size wise...

Not all that impressed with samsungs new offerings nor Sony...

the voice control is a massive gimmick and I've only seen it successfully demonstrated from within 1m of the panel...

the Australian accent isnt really picked up by the panel any further out...

the hand gesture is cool but again pretty gimmick and slow...

Panasonic also released some pretty good quality LED panels this year...although size limited to 47" ATM the ET50 is worth looking at...

Again Panasonic have dominated the releases so far and the VT50 could possibly convince me to replace my 3 year old screen come august

Samsung still remain market leader sales wise...solely due to marketing and instore sales (higher gross profit/more commission for sales people)...

My commission scheme works otherwise to other retailers... Gross profit doesn't come into effect hence I sell a superior product rather than looking at the more profitable (Samsung/LG)...

Sony do have the best "Internet TV" offer however...

Cheers Del, i will be keeping an eye for this 1.

Much difference between the VT and ST for Panasonic, there would be a difference but would it be worth the extra coin. A Panasonic blog says 5999$ for the vt 65" and 3799$ for the 55"

lol 3 mins research shows the Vt and St use a LG panel, go figure.

Any idea Del when these will be available.

Available August...

Find it hard to believe that they use LG panels? Any links...
