i am thinking of getting a hdtv to replace my old tv. and am also on a budget and the price on this is reasonable but want to make sure i am buying a tv that will last me for a little while.

Answer
I would recommend you go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. Panasonic is the top rated tv in the market today. You do not see Toshiba being recommended at all. Those bargain price tv do not have the reliability. If you read yahoo questions all the time, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD and LED tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. I would recommend a 42" Panasonic Plasma tv. Hope this will help you out.

Is LED better than plasma tv?

Eyza

cant decide which one is better to buy

Answer
Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs, along with the pro and con of each technology. This will also depend on the brand you select. If you purchase a bargain price tv, the the answer is no. They are not very good in quality or reliability. If you read yahoo questions all the time you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD or LED tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Panasonic is the only Plasma tv that the magazine recommends and they are the most reliable tv in the market today. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Personally, I would purchase a Plasma from Panasonic rather than any other brand. I do own a Panasonic Plasma tv in the 65", 60" 58" and 50" along with a 37" and 32" LCD. Never had any issue with any of them. Also the first generation Blu ray disc player model BD-10 which is over 6 years old and played over 330 blu ray movies and without any issue. Hope this will help you out.

What is the average lifespan of an LED TV viewed under the following settings?

Sarah C

I watch a ton of Blu-Rays, HD cable and video games kn mh Samsung 46" LED TV. It is now over a year old. I run it about 4-5 hours a day, backlight set to 7, brightness at 40, contrast at 100, dark levels at darkest. These settings look outstanding with what I watch and play.
Based on these settings, what would the approx. lifespan of my TV be?

Answer
Most tv in the market today are rated at 60,000 to 100,000 hours before they go half it's brightness. This also depends on the brand that you get. Any bargain price tv are not very reliable. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs along with the pro and con of each technology. You will notice that Panasonic dominates the list with a Plasma tv. In November issue of the magazine it named the Panasonic Plasma tv model VT25 as the best tv for 2010. If you read yahoo questions, you will notice that 95% of tv problems comes from LCD tv and 95% of those are the bargain price tv. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I still have my first Pioneer Plasma tv model 4330 purchased in 2002 and have had no problems (purchase price was $6,400). Hope this will help you out.

Will A Proscan LED TV Last Long?

Kyle

I just bought a 42' LED-LCD Proscan TV. Of course i bought it for the price. I checked the reviews about this product and there was nothing but good things to say about. People who had the TV said they loved it and not one person rated it low. SO I BOUGHT IT. After buying it, i did some more research on just the Proscan Company itself and people kept saying they are cheaply made and stuff. All I want to know is roughly about how many years or so do you think TV will last me?

Answer
There's no way to predict how long any one set will last. Any TV can fail at any time for any number of reasons, regardless of the brand name or what you paid for it. This forum is full of questions from those with Samsung, Sony, etc. sets that went belly-up a few days after the warranty expired. Conversely, any bargain-basement set has a good chance of performing well for a great many years.

You might find that this or that brand tends to last longer across a broad scope of samples (thousands of customers), but again, that has little relevance to any single specific set. You won't know until it actually fails.

My big-screen Zenith CRT TV expired in 2007 less than 7 years after I bought it. On the other hand, two TVs from the 1980s (also Zeniths) are still going strong. You just can't tell until it happens.
