LED TV = LCD TV

OLED TV is not LED TV.

True or real LED dsplay are those giant display like you see at i-City, even at that size they are hardly HD resolution. It doesnt have light bleeds like LED TV.

No, just wait a little longer for future proof features.

4k tv does support 1080p, some highend bd player already can upscale bluray 1080p to 4k .

Currently only 1 tv and 2 projectors are hdmi 2.0 compliant. Hdmi 1.4b as limited bandwidth where 4k resolution playback is limited to 30hz only , 2160p@50/60hz unsupported. (Hdmi 1.4b)

perhaps... but... many people being helped by this forum never make a post to even say thank you.

We dont have dedicated sticky specifically for hdtv buyers guide and some question being ask almost everyday.. I think

Some ppl might just need to use the search button.

Id go for the samsung for better contrast ratio and better dark room performance. Better blacks + screen uniformity.

Dead lcd panel. Try not to place your tv too close to AC or anywhere with rapid humidity change, and also direct sunlight.

Yes, they are very common. The degree varies from brands to models. Direct lit led tv has better uniformity or very little clouding, but bleeding is still there.

same thing, layers that make up the lcd container separates. physical abuse also can damage the layers like those with bigger or single pixel like active 3d glasses, if you drop them hard black blots of the liquid crystal can be seen.

no. they cost more than a new tv. Panel+Tcon board+service charge

If it was a backlight LED failure it would be repairable if your sony uses direct led.

From the screen shot, image looks WARPED horizontally so its obviously NOT the LED fault. Its more like a failed Tab bonding (loose tab connects to the LCD panel) or a failed T-con board, unfortunately neither is repairable, basically this fault needs a panel and tcon board replacement.

Most likely the bonding on the tab becomes loose, it cant be repaired. Its termal bonded, can only be fixed at factory facility.

New tv i guess.

Great reviews on the uk model, but 64" H5000

Quite bright at 115 cd/m2.

Very good blacks at 0.0016 fL or 0.0056 cd/m2.

Native contrast ratio is about 115/0.0056 = 20,000. Native contrast definately beats any high-end Edge LED TV in the market.

The only downside i think is its pentile matrix pixel orientation . it has 1080 vertical resolution, not 1920 horizontal tho slightly less, but really not a problem tho.

In terms of motion ;

64H5000 will produce a perceptibly sharper image than just about any other display in this price range owed to the impulse driving inherent to plasma televisions (which interacts very well with the human visual system).

You no longer can find full HD 1920 x 1080 42" plasma, the likes of panasonic 42U30k or S series.

Entry level plasma 43" like samsung F4000 is only 852 x 480 defination/ resolution.

For plasma id suggest getting at least 50-51" with full hd resolution, mid-end to high end models.

1024 x 768 resolution 50" entry level plasma is not great for bluray content, but good for Sd and astro.


For 40" full hd, only lcd led tv is viable.

For eye care depends how you watch. In a dark room, even at minimum brightness some LED is still just too bright. (depending on TV) Should be no problem with lights on.
