I've scouted for some HD Tvs but I'm caught between spending almost 7K for a 46inch LED tv or just get an LCD tv. I'm looking for opinions, recommendations for any brands.

if u are willing to spend 7k-8k.. better u get a LCD 55inc tv.. much more worth it... toshiba zv model is one of them.. value for ur money

I'm debating that. But would it be a better investment based on picture quality and all? I'm thinking the LED would be better in the longrun but I'm still thinking if it's a good idea or not.

Want to join the Dark side? Came and join Plasma.

Cabut...

pioneer kuro?

definitely LED TV bro, if you got 7~8K budget to spend on a TV, get LED because none of the LCD or plasma can on par with LED performance/quality.

Just depend on whether you are enough on 42" LED tv or you want bigger TV.

let me repharase that..

you do know that the LED TV is just LCD TV with LED backlight, right?
whether it's worth the premium is up to you.

yes, but the performance/quality/color/respond time/contrast ratio/ none of the LCD or plasma can beat LED LCD tv.

if you stand in front of LED LCD TV / LCD TV / PLASMA TV, you already can tell the different.

Plasma can beat LED/LCD easily

Agree with you. Definately go for LED. But i think respond time LCD and plasma could be as good as LED.

Elaborate more. If not stop spaming!

From what I know is that LED TVs cost a lot more that LCDs and plasma now.

For fast objects, go plasma.

Better picture, LCD.

Since LED Tvs are LCDs using LED backlight, you save more on electricity (theoretically)

show me evidence that plasma can beat LED LCD TV

yes it might able to beat LCD TV in some way( LCD only 50~100hz while plasma 400~600hz which mean face pace action, plasma beat it)

in color wise/PQ/respond time/contrast ratio, plasma hardly reach the level

Putting a huge Plasma in the living room will require better cooling and more electricity will be used for the air conditioner to work harder trying to keep the temperature of the room low.

Condition is made worst when the house is using spotlights and other halogen lamp as lighting.

Really?

This is news to me.

So in terms of energy usage,
plasma>lcd>led.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

anyone knew about the blue light hazard

hahaha are u make a joke or what?

Plasma right now same as rubbish.... we bought tv to see movie/program not our face coz of it reflection issue

This thread could be another battle for plasma vs lcd. I think there is several thread out there for this one.
The downside of the Plasma is on IR issue, power consumption, glare. You can ask all sifu here, most of them using plasma. Performance wise, plasma win. But overall aspect, up to personal taste.

I go for plasma myself. Like the other forumer say, most of the sifu here using plasma. Makes you wonder why.

The 2010 plasma models look interesting. Gonna get one myself.

If u can, get pioneer kuro.

Just my 2 cents

LED LCD can beat Plasma?That's joke of the year...

Ever heard of Pioneer Kuro Plasma?

Yeah I've heard of the Kuro, I'm interested in that although I'm not sure how the price is right now. All I have a references for the Kuro almost 3 years ago, when LCDs and Plasmas cost a fortune.

LEDs have super picture quality, I've been told to stay away from Sony cause they're way too expensive and they under-deliver. Philips has good LCD tvs but the new Samsung LED tvs have amazing picture quality. I'm actually buying for the long run and not having to replace it in 5 years or so.
