best under $ 1000 tv over 55 inch?

askari

need new good big screen tv for under 1000 has to be 55 inch or bigger

Answer
This one is a must have, it is ranked as the best HDTV (that's not 3d) of 2010 and
blows away any LED. It is a 100 dollars more and 50 inch, but it's a must have model.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Panasonic+-+VIERA+/+50%22+Class+/+1080p+/+600Hz+/+Plasma+HDTV/9788953.p?id=1218175321979&skuId=9788953

There is a 58 inch panasonic plasma S2 but it's 1400 bucks and the picture
is nothing compared to the 50 inch model I posted on top. Even though it's
smaller by 5 inches, 50 inch is huge and you have the best HD set of 2010 for
1100.

Looking for a 60-Inch LED TV?

dy_himself

My family and I are looking into buying a 60" LED TV, however we are having trouble finding one with all of the specs that we want. We found one, but it was discontinued.

We are looking for the following:

- 60 to 65-Inch LED TV
- 3 or more HDMI Inputs
- Smart TV (ie..has youtube etc...)
- Back-Lit (as opposed to the new slimmer "Edge-Lit" TVs, that I've heard don't have the same picture quality/sharpness as back-lit TVs do.)

If anyone has any ideas or knows any TVs that meet those specifications, I would greatly appreciate a reply or any input you have.

Answer
You're going to have a hard time finding a 60" LED TV. That particular size is reserved for plasma TVs.
If you don't want an edge-lit LED TV. I recommend the 55" LG LM9600. It is a full nano LED (non edge-lit) TV with all the features you listed. It has smart tv with youtube, hulu, (only ones i use) and 4 hdmi inputs. If you do opt for this one, I suggest you get the tv calibrated ( you should anyways for a tv of this caliber).

If it must be in your size specifications, I recommend either the 65" Sony HX929 (2011 model) or the 65" LG LM6200. Both are 65" and have 4hdmi inputs. The Sony one is a bit expensive however.

Does anyone have a Westinghouse 55 inch led tv?

Nick

Hi, I just bought the tv for like $520 like 2 days ago. So far so good, but have read a lot of reviews for Westinghouse TVA and people say it dies fast. But these reviews are for different models. It's hard to find reviews for this model. I've even searched YouTube and it seems like no one as this 55 inch model. So if anyone has a 55 inch led tv by Westinghouse let me know how its doing. Thanks.

Answer
Your going to get a wide variety of answers when it comes to the quality of off-brands like Westinghouse.

For starters, I have a 42" Westinghouse that has been performing solidly for nearly a decade now (its LCD not LED)...so I'm not a Westinghouse hater. That being said though, you have to understand that Westinghouse is a bargain priced, lower quality TV then big-box brands like Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Sony, etc.

It doesn;t mean that it will break in 1, 2, 5, or even 10 years. It just means that the chances of it breaking are quite a bit higher than on another higher quality brand. And in exchange for that risk...you pay a lower price. Plain and simple.

If your not willing to accept that risk...then you should return it.

What is the difference between an LED and LCD on a 55 inch tv?

Cornwallac

Answer
1 ) Total pictures Quality. Technically much better in colour reproduction, better dark and black color.minimum the " motion blur " LED TV ( LCD display use LED as back light ) is RE-FINE and improvements to LCD TV.
however , some people will not get the " difference " between 55 inc LCD / LED TV .DUE TO.>
Human EYE are not the same , mose of the people accept standard 60 HZ entry lever LCD TV, there happy for that .some people are " sensitives " to image quality from the TV.
Beware also maker/brand quality.
since some buyer / local house brand joint LED TV market 4 months ago. not all LED TV are quality .
if you compare a " house brand " 55 inc LED TV ( or any screen size ) to Samsung / Sharp / Sony Hi End LCD TV, i believe , " LCD TV " is better .
non of any LCD TV able to reach Samsung ( world no 1 in LED TV ) / Sony / Sharp LED TV PICTURES QUALITY.
2 ) Prices.
LED TV cost much more.usually 1 to 2 X compare to same screen size . except those " house brand " cost just a litter more or no difference compare to hi end LCD TV.
3 ) LED TV use 40 % less consumption ( W ).
50 - 55 inc LED TV around 150-180 W. LCD TV around 260 - 320 W .
OPTION.
55 inc big screen , Plasma is much better in total pictures quality and Prices. value for money .
total new Plasma technologies , life time as good as LCD/LED, is 60,000 hours. ( Panasonic Z series even much better .up to 100,000 hours ).
Easy burn in / over heating is not an issue any more, even long hours for games / still image.
all new Plasma models are energy star qualified.
compare to 55 inc LED TV and 55/58 inc Plasma TV ( 2009 models ), LED TV reach 95 % of Plasma quality, bt cost 1 / 2 X more in prices.

How to fix PS3 slow controller response with LED TV?

led tv 55 inch image

Paul

We just got a new 55 inch Samsung LED TV, and when I tried to play Call of Duty on it, I immediately noticed the slower response between the controller and the game itself. It is very frustrating so I've just stopped playing it until I find a way to fix it. I've tried plugging it in, and that didn't help. Any solutions?

Answer
This is called input lag. Basically your TV is delaying by some fraction of a second between when it receives the signal and when it displays the image, to apply various visual/processing effects intended to make the image better. Obviously when you're watching a movie or TV, no problem. But it's a big problem when you're gaming.

The first thing to do is check the manual and see if your TV has a game mode. Game mode essentially runs the TV without all the fancypants filtering effects, thus reducing the lag. Hopefully this will pretty much fix the problem for you.

Other things to try... An HDMI cable might help, as it's likely faster than a component. And if you don't have game mode, you could probably play with the settings and turn most of the effects off manually. Again, your TV has to take time to compute those effects, and that's what's causing your delay.

how can i take led tv to india from usa?

Q. I bought 55 inches LED TV recently. I would like to take it to India with me(planning to travel to india). Please suggest me the best way to carry it. Is it better to ship or will airlines allow me to carry this tv with me instead of one bag? How much does they charge in airlines and how much does they take if I ship? Answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
A bigger problem is the incompatibility of your set with the TV broadcast system in India. India uses the PAL system. North America uses the ATSC/NTSC system. Your TV won't receive local channels in India.

Also, the voltage mains there are 240v/50 hz. Your TV *might* be optionable for that voltage and line frequency--check your owner's guide. But as equipped for the U.S. market, it's set up for 110v/60 hz.

You might be better off returning your set for a refund if possible, and buying one locally in India. That also saves you the hassle and cost of transport, customs, etc.
