i got a samsung 720p HDTV plasma with a refresh rate of 600hz, and i say its awesome for gaming, but my mom is saying to switch it for a vizio HDTV LED 1080p tv, with only 120hz. now i am getting paranoid that my tv isnt good enough, should i stay with my tv or get the 1080p one. i primarily will use it for gaming and blu ray, and with have comcast and i heard there tv service only goes to 720p, and i cant find any tvs with 1080p and 600hz around 39-45in, only ones 50in and above, so what should i do?
Answer
Vizio is a sub-standard brand compared to Samsung or Panasonic.
And 600 hz refresh is much, much smoother for fast moving objects so Plasma is the superior technology for video games.
You also do NOT want the TV to have to up-convert each frame of video from 720-1080. (Read the back of your game box's to see what resolution the graphics are: Most are only 720). This can take a sizable second or two of time and produces "gamer lag". You hit a control, then wait for a second before the image on the TV responds.
And gamer lag is more common on cheaper brands even if you did get a 720 because they save money by using older, slower electronics. (Like Vizio).
She's your Mom and deserves your respect.
But "Bob's your Uncle" and he has a BSEE and 30+ years experience with video games, televisions and home theater. He says you should stick with your Plasma - especially since you have it and know it performs well.

720p LG vs 1080p Insignia?
evaunit13
Yesterday I bought a 24" LG that runs at 720p, but today, an Insignia of the same size which runs at 1080p went on sale for the same price. I assume that I can return the LG and exchange for the Insignia for no extra cost, but what is keeping me for immediately doing so is the apparent difference in quality between the two brands. I've come to assume that LG is a reasonably well-respected brand, and that Insignia is a relatively cheap, generic brand which may be made with the same class of parts as LG's, but I'm not sure if that jump in picture quality is worth a presumed fall in build quality. I understand that the difference in picture quality may approach near-negligible levels when comparing smaller panels, so there is also that to keep in mind. Help?
Answer
Stick with LG.
- It would matter if it was a big screen size and if you sit far away.
Brands that I like the most and probably best from least: Samsung, Panasonic, LG, Sony, Toshiba, Phillips.
Plasma >=< LED > LCD (LED is like the same/upgrade as LCD, so you should never go with LCD).
- Picture quality = Plasmas are better for picture quality (dark rooms and better dark pictures/video) and viewing experience with little to none motion blur (plasma for big tv's). (LED are better for tv's around 32 inches or smaller/small tv's for bright rooms and for bright pictures/videos).
- Sound quality = Plasmas are better, but LED is ok too,
- Appearance = I like plasma glass, but LED is nice too.
- Energy consumption = LED's are better (LED's are extremely economical).
- Reliable = LED's are only easier to take care of so I guess they are better.
- Price = Both are about the same price and it's up to you to decide if you want a plasma or LED.
Is 1080 good? Yes.
- 1080 resolution is better than 720 resolution.
- Bigger tv's are better with 1080 than 720 and farther you sit away from tv's means it's better to go with 1080 than 720 (If the tv is around 32 inches I would go with 720, any bigger I would just want a 1080 especially for tv's that are over 42 inches).
- Progressive scan is better than interlaced scan.
- Example: 1080p > 1080i
- Example: 720p > 720i
- Example: 1080i > 720p (because more resolution is better for slower passed videos).
- Example: 720p > 1080i (because fast pass videos you be better off with progressive scan).
Is 60hz good? = No.
- You want at least 120hz for your tv to play your videos.
Hz is the refresh rate. (Some tv's have a choice what hz you can set it at).
- It's an HD TV-set running at 60Hz - meaning it refreshes the entire screen 60 times a second.
- It's an HD TV-set running at 120Hz - meaning it refreshes the entire screen 120 times a second.
FPS = frames per second.
- NTSC countries use 60hz = 30 fps.
- PAL countries use 50hz = 24/25 fps.
(For not equal conversions there is more math to it, and there is 3:2 or 2:3 pulldowns that I will not explain).
For NTSC countries:
- To display 30 frames per second on a TV with a 60 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 2 times every 30th of a second.
- To display 30 frames per second on a TV with a 120 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 4 times every 30th of a second.
For PAL countries (you don't want a tv with 60hz because that includes more math and bad effects).
- To display 25 frames per second on a TV with a 50 hz refresh rate (PAL Countries), each frame is repeated 2 times every 25th of a second.
- To display 24 frames per second on a TV with a 72hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 3 times every 24th of a second.
- To display 25 frames per second on a TV with a 100 hz refresh rate (PAL Countries), each frame is repeated 4 times every 25th of a second.
- 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.
.ect
(If your playing a video with a different fps, then there is different math, I used progressive scan math btw).
The hobbit (1 out of 3): An unexpecting Journey: (Prequel to lord of the rings): is one of the first movies to change from 24 fps to 48 fps (or 30 fps to 60 fps). We may see more movies do this.
I am still new to 3d tv's, ill have to get into them as well.
