My old Samsung crt tv went out so Im in the market for a new tv. Ive been doing allot of research on the technologies for a while now so I know the pros and cons of LED and plasma. Ive always liked the plasma screens better. I know they are some problems with burn in and IR but with it being 2013 now do you think the new sets are as bad with the burn in and IR. I would like to hear weather current plasma owners have burn in or IR issues with there sets, and if you would buy plasma again? What is the make and model tv you have? Ive also read that plasma seems to make a buzzing sound, is this true? Does breaking the screen in seem to help with the issues?
BTW the set will be used for mostly tv and movies but I do have a the Ps3 and the Xbox 360 that I play on occasion.



Answer
You can be glad your old CRT TV finally bit the dust. That was my excuse too, for buying a new flat screen TV. No regrets. Love it. Rule of thumb is, get the biggest TV you can. They tend to shrink over time. Not really, but it is a perception thing. When I first got my 27 inch CRT TV, I thought it was huge. But then after a while it did not seem that big. And now my current TV used to be huge, and now it is just "normal."

I'm not a TV expert. But I do not recommend the plasma TV's. They tend to consume more electricity than the others, and they tend to have a glossy surface. (The glossy surface is only a problem if you are in a room with other lights that may reflect off the surface, such as lights behind you.)

I think the question today is between LCD and LED. The LED TV's are thinner, but more expensive. Some say they are better. I have a 47 inch LCD by Philips, and I love it. I bought it before the LED TV's came out.

Now days, most TV's have internet capabilities, and that is really nice. My TV does not have it, but my Blue Ray player does have internet, and so I can watch things on my TV from the internet, such as YOU TUBE stuff. So I recommend you get a TV with internet capabilities. Wireless is better, of course. If you have Netflix, you can also access this directly to your TV.

Strongly recommend you invest in a sound system if you have not done so already The flat screen TV's today usually have horrible sound with tiny speakers that face the rear. I really love my 5.1 surround sound system. It is fabulous.

Is this lg 55in tv good for the price?

Any pros and cons? Can I watch 3d channels without the glasses? Thanks

Answer
That is the entry level 3D TV from the 2012 line up (the LM in the model number is the 2012 designation, LA is the 2013 lineup).

Overall - that series is considered to be a very decent TV. For that particular model...since it is the entry level...you will have somewhat less features than the higher up in the series (LM6200, LM6700, LM7600, LM8600, LM9600)...but overall it's not much different. This particular one does not have the Smart Features of the LM6200 and up...and it also doesn't have as good of processors as the LM7600 and up, but it should be decent enough for normal use.

As far as 3D and glasses are concerned. These TV's use passive 3D...meaning that (and this is in laymans terms) the picture is filtered in a way that when the glasses are put on...the left eye sees one picture and the right eye sees another...and your brain makes it 3D. Without glasses on...it will just look like an extremely out of focus picture.

As far as cons for this unit...there are 2:

1st (and this applies to a LOT of manufacturers and not just LG).
The 120Hz "Tru Motion Rate" is not the same thing as a 120Hz refresh rate. So - though it sort-of performs like a 120Hz TV...it really is a 60Hz panel. You will find this to be the case in most of the lesser expensive models from all manufacturers.

2nd:
Given that this is a left-over 2012 model...you are already starting out with 1 year old technology. Not saying that it's not good technology...but that there is already a newer model and any 2012 models are simply left-overs that didnt sell. You should expect to see a significant savings from the 2013 models. It's hard to price-compare an overstock model...since the major retailers who would normally carry these have already replaced them with 2013 models...so you can;t always rely on a quick google shopping search...as it's likely to come up with few results.

Overall though...$800 for a 55" 3D TV is not bad...so you certainly aren;t getting hosed at that price...but you just have to realize that it's marked down because it is in fact a 1 - 2 year old tv...even though its new.
