CanadaEH Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I've done a fair bit of research on all of the above but I'm curious to know what many of you have gone with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Plasma--better refresh rate for sports (especially hockey), deeper and truer colours then LED. Cheaper as well as you pay for the nice, super thin look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deicer Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just my two cents...Plasma has best picture, but higher power consumption. Also washes out in a room with high ambient lighting.LCD, and LED, same thing only backlighting is diifferent, not as sharp a picture due refresh rate being lower.Both will be obsolete in a couple years when OLED TVs hit the market.

DEFCON Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I've had a 56" Samsung 1080 DLP TV for four years now. It's awesome on all counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I went with LCD because I didn't like how the Plasma screens were so reflective of ambient light in the room. Also I have 3 kids who use that TV and I was worried about the TV getting left on and having screen burn in issues as I've heard is an issue on the Plasmas. Top that off with a high power consumption, and the LCD's seemed best for me. No complaints with my decision.As for LED's no experiences with them...

moeman Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 We've got two 50" 1080p Panasonic Viera plasma screens and love them. Have had them for about three years now. If it's in a really bright room, you'd need to close the curtains as there's some issues with glare, but at night or in a dark room they're amazing.

boestar Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I installed a Sharp AQUOS LED Tv for my father in law and to me the picture quality is second to none, even in a bright room. It is the Quatron version of the TV and IMHO is spectacular. Their older DLP TV picture was poor in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo32a Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Plasmas don't burn in any more and have a wider viewing angle than LCD and also provide a deeper black colour.Having said that I have two Panasonic 50" plasmas and a 50" Sony LCD and a 60" Sony DLP.I find them all excellent with a slight edge to the Panasonics.You can buy an OLED now if you demand perfection, but it will cost about 16k. I'm not that demanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southshore Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I had to replace 3 tvs when the local OTA signals went HD digital. With OLED coming onstream soon, I went for the cheap store brand LCD. The picture is still fabulous. A little too fabulous actually. A little too much unsettling wrinkly wattle, chipped teeth etc for my taste. I take my glasses off to go back to lo tech lo res. Ahhh, so comfortably fuzzy.
