Sam
I am very interested in this tv from Samsung. I plan to use this tv for gaming on xbox, is this good for this kind of tv? I'm kinda worried the picture will burn out or the pixels. Is this a good tv for gaming/watching movies? Would you recommend plasma/LED/LCD? Whats the life expectancy for this? Thank you!
Answer
Assuming its the entry level 43" samsung TV (UK PS43E450), it isn't a very good TV for samsung. For some reason, samsung don't make very good plasma TVs. Their LCDs are much better.
In this price range, you really would be better off getting a smaller TV which is LCD TV. Maybe a 32 or 37" LCD.
Panasonic and Samsung LCDs are good, you can't really go wrong with either.
If it has to be this size and about the same price, then consider Panasonics X50B plasma instead. The specs are almost the same, but in the shop where I work these are beside each other, and the panasonics colour tone is better as well as it also being sharper.
As for the debate about plasmas and burn in, they aren't too bad. Most of the time it is caused by user error, i.e. leaving the screen on pause or the main menu for hours without using it. Or having the cell light or contrast up too high.
Life expectancy isn't something that can be measured. I know of some TVs which are the early flatscreens and are still running OK. I know of some TVs that are only a couple of years old and have come to a state of uneconomical repair.

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.
