Best TV for $1000?
 

Looking for a tv for my bedroom for Christmas, last night at futureshop I was looking at the 40" samsung 3D LED 120hz with the glass edge, not sure of the model but it was going for $999

I'm open to pretty much buying from anywhere or even like openbox.ca etc

Also considering perhaps buying a higher end Open box item from a FS or best buy

It might be worth the wait for the boxing day sales to come.

Usually the biggest sales are TVs on boxing day for bestbuy and futureshop. I remember buying my 52" with a sound system for around $1200.

Plus the sales guy will be too busy to explain and sell you the extended warranty lol

You really need 3d?

Why not go with something like this: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ...fe49697b9een02

Laying in bed I am about 8 feet away from the tv
I bought a 40" samsung and had to downsize to a 37" sharp

40 was WAAAY to in my face for playing games and watching movies.

The PornMaster plays games & watches movies in bed? :p

I have a 50" LG plasma in my bedroom and I love it for movies and games. Only problem is that its a plasma and there is a shit TON of glare off the TV. IMO for a room with a lot of light like a bedroom, it's best to get an LCD.

Yea typically during the day my room has quite a bit of glare, although if I upgraded my blinds it would probably help

I've also been looking at LED and super thin panel LCD because I kind of what to hang the tv directly on the wall without much of a big mounting bracket etc

is there a general ROT, for distance vs size of tv?

google brings up many many different searches :S

Imagine 3D porn, in the bedroom. Enough said! :D

You can get low profile mounts. Also Samsung and other companies make slim plasmas. CES 2011: Samsung's New Ultra-Slim Plasma TVs Announced

It seems like a fairly general rule is distance should be 1.5x to 2.0x the size of the TV.

What are your priorities?

I just bought a TV with these priorities:
Price
Brand
Size
HD

I didn't want to spend a lot, but I didn't want a Vizio tv either. The size was flexible, between 42-50", and i didn't need 1080p because i'm never going to hook up a Blu-Ray or PS3 to it. The TV is for the kitchen/dining room, so it's not the main household tv.

I ended up with a 51" Samsung Plasma 720p for $480. It was pretty cheap, a decent brand, great size and the 720p was enough for the sources that are going to be attached (HD TV and downloaded tv shows)

At 6 feet, you should be looking at 32-37"

And do you really need a $1000 TV for the bedroom? Why not just get a basic 1080p 32" for a couple hundred bucks?

figure id have it for a while and when it comes to TV's dont really like buying a "lesser" product, although when it comes to TV's there is an improvement at almost any price point

basically my needs are:

37-46"

I prefer samsung or sony just because i'm somewhat loyal/bias to those brands
will be hooked up to HD PVR, Computer, Bluray player, so 3 inputs would be nice at the minimum

preferably slim panel but i could live without super slim and just put it on a TV stand

was looking at this model at futureshop:

Samsung 46" 1080p 120Hz LED Smart TV (UN46D6000) : 40" - 49" LED TVs - Future Shop

i have a 32" in the bedroom, i was gonna replace it with a 51 or 55" lol

i always like bigger too lol

I'm looking for a 46'' for myself as well for less than $1000 tax in for LCD. LED would be nice but I don't think I would find something $1000 tax in for a 46''.

Here's a LG 47" LED for $899+tax (on sale) at Bestbuy...

ive been sold on samsung tvs. what else is good out there? sony bravia? sharp? lg?

Panasonic. Sony is overpriced and LG is Lucky Gold star, two of the crappiest brands merged together.

Personally I'm a fan of Sony especially their XBR line

Nothing but bad experiences with Panasonic, albeit with a older rear projection LCD but at the time it cost $3400 and their support was pretty bad and
