Title: Plasma or LED Post by: N.AL-Tider on November 24, 2011, 10:13:35 PM I'm looking to get a new, larger tv for our den. I am looking at getting a 40-50" tv but am not sure what exactly I want. Course, that depends on cost too... Anyways, I've heard a lot of good about the Sony and Samsung tvs as being toward the top-of-the-line brands and I'm ok with that. What I don't know is whether I should go for the plasma or LED models. Whatdayasay?

Title: Re: Plasma or LED Post by: KoKoPuf on November 25, 2011, 10:19:47 AM I have both but my favorite of the two is a 5 year old Panasonic 50" plasma. I just think it has a better picture and their is no lag when watching sports. I think probably the new LED's have just about as good a picture as the new plasmas but plasmas are a good bit cheaper. As far as energy ratings I noticed at Costco last week the LED was $22 a year and the plasma was $26 so not much difference. Plasma sets are a good bit heavier and, at least when I bought mine, you couldn't lay them flat for transporting. Bottom line - both are really good and you will enjoy it.

Hubby bought the 50" and now thinks he needs a 70" one! Doesn't matter that a 70" is way to big for the room. So just suck it in, go with the 50" and tell Kimberly to be grateful you haven't asked for a 70" one! ;)

Title: Re: Plasma or LED Post by: pmull on November 27, 2011, 09:32:17 AM LED is by far the best IMO. If price is a concern you may want to consider a LCD. They have come way down in price and the picture is better than plasma IMO.
I struggled between Sony and Samsung when I bought my big screen TV and I have been very happy that I went with Samsung.

I believe that Sony and Samsung had a joint venture somewhere and built the factory together to make these flat panel TVs. I think they are both made at the same factory, and a lot of the differences are cosmetic.
