I'm looking to purchase a 50inch television, what's better LED or LCD?
Answer
- Top brands: Panasonic (Plasma) and Samsung (LED). (Plasma > LED > LCD). (LCD is going to be discontinued. A LCD tv uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps/CCFL backlights. A LED tv is a LCD tv, but with white or red, green, blue LEDs on the edge of the screen or a full array on the back of the screen).
= Plasma has best picture and audio quality (best response times, best viewing angle, best color quality, less/no motion blur for crisp/clear images because how it's refresh rate works). Newer Plasmas have improved their burn issues by using pixel shifting/scrolling. LCD/LED is best for bright rooms and have most light coming off the screen (Plasmas are not great for bright rooms because of screen glare and faded whites, but do great for dim or dark rooms). Newer Plasmas use less energy consumption and they are cheap to buy. LED are more popular because the manufacturers want to sell you their LED expensive tvs rather than their cheap Plasmas.
- I recommend 1920x1080p for movies, computer monitor/display, some tv shows, and some game console games and I recommend 1280x720p for some tv shows and some game console games. I recommend 40+ inches for movies and/or tv shows and 20-30 inches for computer monitor and 30-40+ inches for game console games.
- FPS (frames per second): Every video consists of a number of frames per second, think of a video as a fast moving flip book. NTSC countries use 60i or 30i FPS (newer stations use 30p or 60p FPS) for tv shows. PAL/SECAM countries use 50i or 25i FPS (newer stations use 25p or 50p FPS) for tv shows. Movies use 24p/25p/30p FPS (first movie to use 48p was LOTR: The Hobbit). Games use anywhere to 2 to 120 FPS (older games use lower FPS while newer games use higher FPS, usually they are up to 60 FPS today).
- TV refresh rate (measured in hz): Example, A tv with a refresh rate of 120 hz means it refreshes/flashes the entire screen 120 times a second.
- How do LED or LCD tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video? (I recommend real/true 240hz refresh rate, some tv advertising may fool you by listing the fake interpolation or fake backlight scanning/dimming refresh rates).
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation (Names of the new technologies for newer tv's at the link): Motion Interpolation or Motion Compensated Frame Interpolation (MCFI), is a form of video processing in which new fake frames are generated between existing ones to up the FPS of a video to reduce motion blur and/or for judder removal/judder adjustment. MCFI video processing may cause gamer input lag and/or artifacts such as the soap opera effect (may ruin the look of a video).
- Many tv's allow viewers to turn motion interpolation (MCFI) off. The tv repeats the frames a certain number of times to match the tv's refresh rate. Example; To display 24 frames per second on a tv with a 120 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.
- But what happens if the FPS of a video does not match the refresh rate of the tv? Then you get a pulldown, a pulldown is what causes a jittery screen (aka judder) because the tv repeats the odd frames a different amount of times the tv repeats the even frames. Example; A 3:2 pulldown is post popular because it is needed to match a 24 fps video with a 60hz refresh rate tv, odd frames are repeated 3 times (12x3=36) and even frames are repated 2 times (12x2=24) and 36+24=60 FPS for a 60hz refresh rate tv.
How does Plasma tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video?
- It will take each pixel in a frame and and repeat it a number of times based on the number of sub-field drives (SFD) the tv has with it's refresh rate. Example 1; (NTSC countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 60hz FPS x 10 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate. Example 2; (PAL/SECAM countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 50hz FPS x 12 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate.
- What is focused-field drive (FFD) on Neo-Plasmas? (Light switching speed = better colors and less motion blur) 2500hz focused field drive means sub-fields are virtually packed into 1/2500th of a second as a sharp impluse, creating crisp motion images even in very very fast movining images (FFD is defined as a inverse of light emission period t. 1/t = 1/0.4ms = 2,500 FFD). Regular sub-feild drives like 50 FPS x 12 sub-fields = 600 hz, light emission spreads as wide as 1 field time (1/60th sec) maximum which results in blurry images for very very fast moving images.
- Refresh rates on Plasmas work similar to LED/LCD tv's. These settings are usually automatic, but you can change them in the advanced picture settings, Example 1; 2D 24p FPS mode and choose refresh rates of 48hz/96hz or 30hz/60hz with pulldown (might use interpolation frames for pulldowns), Example 2; 3D mode and choose refresh rates of 96hz for 24 FPS or 100hz for 50 FPS or 120hz for 60 or 24 fps.ect Of course it has gamer mode or many other adjustments.

about LED or Plasma TV?

I'm thinking of getting a samsung tv 46"... problem is which should i get? LED or Plasma? I heard plasma tvs doesnt survive that long is that true? Which should i get? Id like to watch movies on a 1080p and play ps3 games too.
Answer
Brands that I like the most and probably from best to least:
- (Top brands) Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Sony, and (Top off brands) Vizio, Toshiba, Phillips.
- When you buy a tv, don't forget to check if it has all the inputs and outputs (ports) you will need and make sure it's rated good (top model). There are smart tv's too, which has internet features and may many other features too.
Plasma >=< LED > LCD (LED is the same, but a upgrade from a LCD).
- Best picture quality = Plasma and Best audio quality = Plasma.
- Best energy consumption and environment friendly = LED and Best reliability = LED.
- (Newer plasma tv's fixed their burn in and use little less energy which means they can last longer too and a little better for bright rooms, the way plasma tv's are designed have no motion blur problems and plasma's are good for dark rooms).
- (Newer led's use motion interpolation frames to up the frame rate of a video to fix motion blur, but can cause the soap opera effect, led's are good for bright rooms).
1920x1080 resolution or higher resolution is good (1920*1080=2,073,600 pixels).
- 1080 resolution is better than 720 resolution.
- Bigger tv's are better with 1080 than 720 (If the tv is around 32 inches or less I would go with 720, any bigger I would just want a 1080 especially for tv's that are over 42 inches).
- Farther you sit away from the tv means it's better to go with 1080 than 720 (If you watch more than 6 feet away from your tv, then I definitely would go with 1080).
Progressive scan > interlaced scan.
- Progressive scanning is a way of displaying, storing, or transmitting moving images in which all the lines of each frame are drawn at the same time.
- Interlaced scanning is a way of displaying, storing, or transmitting moving images in which all the odd lines of a frame is displayed first then all the even lines of a frame is displayed second.
- Example: 1080p > 1080i or 720p > 720i or Example: 1080i > 720p (because more resolution is better for slower passed videos) or 720p > 1080i (because fast pass videos you be better off with progressive scan).
FPS = frames per second (of a video).
- Frame rate is how many individual images are displayed in a second. Think of a video as a fast moving flip book.
- NTSC tv broadcasting countries use 30p or 60i fps. or PAL tv broadcasting countries use 24p/25p or 50i fps. Movies for most/all countries use the same fps as PAL countries, movies are soon to be up to 48p fps.
Hz = refresh rate (of a tv).
- Example: A tv with a 120hz refresh rate, meaning it refreshes the entire tv screen 120 times a second. Read the below on how the fps of a video works with the refresh rate of a tv.
- Many tv's allow viewers to use motion interpolation frames and they are what cause the soap opera effect by creating more fake frames (higher fps) in between the real frames to match the refresh rate of a tv.
- The soap opera effect is when the video looks too life like due the really high frame rates and sceneries may look fake looking.
- Names of motion enhancement technologies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation
- Many tv's allow viewers to turn off interpolation and force the television to repeat the same frame a number of times to match the refresh rate of a tv.
- Example: To display 24 frames per second on a tv with a 120hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.
But what happens if the fps of a video does not divide into the refresh rate of a tv equally? = Then you get a a pulldown.
- A pulldown is what causes a jittery screen also known as judder and that's because it repeats the odd frames a different number of times it repeats the even frames of a video. The ratio of the pulldown will depend on the refresh rate of the tv.
- Example: A 3:2 pulldown is most popular because it is needed to match a 24p fps of a video with a 60 hz refresh rate of a tv. = 12 odd frames times 3 is 36 frames and 12 even frames times 2 is 24 frames and 36 frames plus 24 frames = 60 frames for a 60 hz refresh rate of a tv.
What happens if those fps into hz vendor processions cause lag when your playing a video game on a bad tv?
- Game mode turns off the vendor processors which are what can cause lag when your playing video games, but that means the refresh rate will match the fps of a video which means you then might get motion blur because of the really low refresh rate the tv is running at.
I am still new to 3d tv's and I have to get into them.
- All I can say for now is I only like 3d for very slow moving scenes. When most movies start using a higher fps (EX: Lotr-hobbit with 48 fps), 3d will look better and less blurry during face pass scenes.
I am not really a fan of projectors either and I have to get into them before I like them.
