  2. Plasma is where its at. What's the sense of paying $2000 for an lcd that's barely comprable to a $1000 plasma?

  3. Lotta cork sniffing in here.
    Boo, Hiss.

    If video games are your main hobby, it stands to reason that the television/monitor you play them on for years at a time might be one of your most important purchases (pertaining to that hobby). By all means, sniff every fucking cork.

    Yeah, LCD televisions are set pretty bright to make it a more appealing buy when you see it setup on a showroom floor. Like Plasmas, a cheap LCD will have a shitty picture and the color and black levels won't look all that great either. I've seen a ton of LCDs and Plasmas with poor color and black levels, it just depends on the brand and quality of the components. A Pioneer, or Panasonic Plasma will look better than any LCD on the market, but after that there are several LCD models that are better than those 2nd tier model plasmas. A properly calibrated (quality) LCD won't have whites that blind you, or colors that are off.

    As LCD panels have gotten thinner off-axis viewing angles have been getting worse, not better. Moving 15-20 degrees off center can change the appearance of the image on an LCD. Add in that plasma is a ton cheaper and there really is no reason to get an LED LCD tv.
    Yeah, that's true with low-end LCDs, but no so much when you get an LCD of higher quality. Plasmas usually don't do so good in well lit rooms either.

    This article has the 5 best bang for the buck televisions. The article lists a Samsung LNC630 series LCD, that is a simular model to the A630 I have in my livingroom; it has a great picture.

  6. So I ended up getting this one and an Xbox. It's pretty great, with HDMI the picture is amazing. I haven't even tweaked the picture settings yet- I'll probably get a Blu Ray player soon and do it once I have a movie to watch.

    My favorite feature is the USB port- I can just drop files onto a thumb drive and watch just about anything super easily. Even xvid stuff looks awesome.

    Why would anyone sit on top of their TV? That would break it.

    Maybe if you're a fat fuck.
