led tv glare image
Q. A TV under $2000 and not a power hog? Exclude sharp, or DLP type tvs. What is the best way to test or determine whether for instance like the differences between the tvs for different refresh rates say 60hz, 120hz or 240hz etc? What are your experiences with your tv that you have just purchased did you get a good deal and where did you find the deal?
Answer
Look into a Panasonic plasma. You can find up to a 50" for under $2000. LCD's are not worth the money. Pretty much any plasma you'll find out on the market now will out-perform any LCD you put it up against, even an LED. And dont be scared off by what some people may say about plasma's. Most of their information is out-dated. Burn-in is no longer an issue. You'd have to be TRYING to burn-in an image for it to even be an issue, even then its only temporary. Any burn-in will correct itself after normal viewing on the TV. Image retention on any LCD is permanent. Although its extremely difficult on either type of set. LCD's have poor response times which lead to motion-blur. Most newer plasma's have .001ms response times(almost instantaneous) where the best LCD response time I've ever seen is 2.4ms, with most LCD's having between 4-6ms response times. LCD's have poor viewing angles(when you move off center you lose picture quality and color) when comparing it to any plasma. And contrast and color accuracy are far better on any plasma. "Well what about glare?" loads of people would say. The only LCD's which actually combat glare have extremely matte finish screens. The color on those sets are horrible. It's as though youre looking at the picture through a foggy window, the colors extremely dull and faded. LCD's with the best color have a gloss on their screen which give equal amounts, if not more, glare than a plasma. As for power consumption, plasmas do use more power, but we're talking about $1 more than an equal size LCD. You can use the money you saved getting a plasma towards that $12 a year extra you'd be using. In the end, look up any LCD v Plasma rating that actually gives you a winner(not just state the differences) and you'll find plasma's blow LCD's out of the water. Plasma= more TV for less money.

Do all LCDs have backlight bleed, in the corners and such?

I just exchanged a 40 inch LCD or an same-sized LED-LCD TV the other day, hoping I would no longer have the annoying backlight bleed in the corners. The new TV just has the bottom corners lit up instead of the top corners. Not as bright either, but still a little annoying. Keep in my mind that I'm budget-constrained and spending a thousand bucks or more on a higher quality TV, maybe not purchased at Walmart, is not in the question right now!
I'm beginning to think that if I want an LCD or LED TV, I'm going to have to deal with backlight bleed of some sort! I've heard they all have it to some extent.
There is a 43" plasma in my price range, but it only goes up to 720p (as opposed to 1080p). I've also heard that plasma have bad glares due to glass screens. At this point, I don't think the 720p thing would bother me, because I can't tell a damn bit of difference between a DVD and a Blu-ray in terms of quality anyway! Of course I've never watched the same movie on DVD and then Blu-ray, so I can't say for sure, but the only significant difference I notice is the cost! Is this another problem with lower budget TVs?
I'm really starting to miss CRT (old school) TVs. Bigger picture size and HD doesn't mean squat to me if I'm forever having to deal with backlight bleed or terrible plasma glare. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of any really good TV models at Walmart (or the like) for like $500 or less, and can let me know what they are, that'd be great! Thanks!
Answer
all LED/LCD TVs will have a small amount of bleeding, the least is called a full-backlight, where there are LEDs positoned all the way across the back of the display, but this is also the most expensive
plasmas don't have this issue due to them not having any backlight.
