led tv 70 inch price image
Ryan
Im looking to get a TV. a big one about 70 inch. Vizio offers the best price and weirdly enough it has extremely good reviews about 4.6 stars out of 5 after 100 reviews on bestbuy.com. has vizio become as good as sony, samsung, etc? thanks
Answer
Consumer Reports, the nations largest and best "no advertising accepted" review magazine likes Vizio. That alone should speak volumes. I live in metro Houston. I own a 52" top of the line Sony full array LED and it produces an exceptional picture. I also have a 32" Vizio in my kitchen that I bought from Sam's over three years ago. It produces an exceptional picture. So far both have been flawless performers with the Vizio costing a fraction of what I paid for the Sony. With regard to repairs, should the need arise, there are a number of repair facilities in my town that willingly advertise Vizio, as well as every other name brand TV in every cost range. To think a large volume manufacturer like Vizio would not provide for repair of their products, in and out of warranty, is stupid, to say the least. It also tells me those folks who broadcast stuff like that are seriously out of touch with market realities. Last, you take a chance with any TV you buy, regardless of the manufacturer. If there was not a risk those best of the best manufacturers wouldn't need to offer a warranty, would they? Would you buy a TV without a warranty? No, of course not, regardless of who made it. Neither would the nay sayers!

Should I buy a Plasma or LED?
MINE
I heard Plasma has better contrast and doesn't get blurry, but has problem with light shinning to it.
Plasma seems more economical than LED.
Is LG, Panasonic & Sony good brands for plasma and LED?
I want to know the good & the bad for Plasma & LED.
Are they good for gaming?
Answer
You have heard some things backwards.
Plasma uses more electricity because it generates heat so it is NOT more economical. But the prices for Plasma sets may be lower, but only Panasonic and Samsung seem to make them anymore.
If you are a gamer - go for Plasma.
LCD panels for many years were inferior to the image you could get from a Plasma because of 2 inherent problems with the technology:
* Motion Blur - so you need a LCD with "120 hz" refresh to reduce, but not eliminate, motion blur
* Poor black levels/poor contrast - so you need a LCD with LED back-lights and regional dimming
With these 2 'defect reduction' technologies, LCD televisions can come close, but not usually equal the image quality of a generic plasma panel.
The problems with LCD panels do not usually show up watching sitcoms or dramas. But action films or video games with fast moving objects - these are the torture-test for LCD panels.
A few other generalities:
* The higher end models of LCD panels have faster processors and can give you a great gaming experience. But the lower end models show lots of motion blur even among the same make. Whenever someone tells you their LCD works great for games - get the model number.
* You can get LCD panels in 60/70/80 inches. But Plasma screens are glass and would break under their own weight if the size gets much bigger than about 55 inches.
MODELS
Consumer Reports has a 'best of everything' issue out right now and their rankings of televisions is usually close to reality. You might want to run out and pick up the current issue.
If it was me and I was going for a LCD panel - the Samsung D7000 and D8000 series of televisions have been out for nearly a year (read "lower prices") and have gotten great reviews. An alternate would be the higher end Sharp units. Sharp is not as popular but they have the quiet respect of some people.
For plasma - Panasonic Viera is acknowledged to be the best. Samsung makes a D8000 in a plasma, but strangely I have not found much reviews on it.
ALWAYS:
If you get a new TV - pop in a calibration disk or a Pixar movie and go to the test patterns and turn down the brightness & contrast to sane levels. This will help reduce burn-in and give you a better, more realistic picture.
Hope this helps.
