Hey, I'm in the market for a new tv but not sure which one is better.
Upgrading from a Samsung 46'' LCD TV. This will be the main TV in the house so it'll be doing a bit of everything, including console games.

The options are either the Sharp 52'' LED TV or Sony 55'' LCD TV. Please don't suggest other TV's for more of less money. These two are the best airmiles has on their catalogue.

Sharp Aquos 52" 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV (LC52LE810UN) > http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/sharp-sharp-aquos-52-1080p-120hz-led-hdtv-lc52le810un-lc52le810un/10143291.aspx?path=de9ac0ae22592b1177305a683edfef3 1en02

Sony BRAVIA 55" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV** (KDL55EX500) > http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/sony-sony-bravia-55-1080p-120hz-lcd-hdtv-kdl55ex500-kdl55ex500/10138806.aspx?path=6611a66f6d5186ce7d3abd41500fd75 5en02

or there is a Panasonic VIERA 54" 1080p Full-HD S-Series Plasma TV (TC-P54S2). But I have no experience with Panasonic TVs.

TIA

In this Case, Sharp LE810 > Sony EX500

EX500 from Sony is not a very decent TV.
I would rather go Sammy C610 instead of Sony EX500.

As for Panasonic, go with G series or up. Those are plasma are amazing.

[!Aznboi128]

Panasonic plasma's are awesome. They have good colour and deep blacks.

Comparing the two I'll say sharp as well the quad panel isn't mind blowing but it does show. The ex500 is mid range and doesn't have much to offer.

Btw ime2006 you still at fs? I quit bb about 4 months ago :p. I got myself a 52C8000 before I left

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

for this comparison i'd choose sharp


the sony one isnt one of their higher end models

[hotjoint]

sharp

[TOS'd]

Thanks guys. It was LED vs a bigger screen, haha.

[underscore]

For the record, LED-backlit isn't the same as an LED TV.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^

99.9% of the shit you see in the market right now are LED back-lit

i believe the only TRUE LED is the sony's O-LED

which costs and arm and a leg along with ur nuts

[TOS'd]

Even with this being true, it would be best to pick the Sharp over the Sony and the Panasonic?

[Greenstoner]

sharp is your best option

No most stuff you see is led edge lit like the Sony in the OP. Back lit is the one you want because you can turn off individual led's making that area completely black.

Oled stands for organic light emitting diode and the biggest Oled TV for sale is only 11inches right now.

[Domani]

great thread, i've been looking at the sharp tv as well.

[rk604]

Sharp > Sony in this comparison...I'm abit biased and always stay away from Sony products as I think they are a bit overpriced

[Domani]

just picked up the 820UN at visions..... i'd pay the extra over 810 due to the glass infront of the LCD.

[ImportPsycho]

go see samsung 55 LED(excuse me, LCD with LED edge-lit)
I haven't seen better picture on LCD TV than Samsung UN55C6000/7000/8000

[TOS'd]

New plan, whats the best consumer LED tv out on the market right now, one thats backlit vs edgelit? Best bang for your buck?

[Manic!]

Backlit over edgelit and Plasma over everything.

[!Aznboi128]

backlight > edge lit in terms of quailty

but edge is slimmer
bang for buck samsung / LG

[TOS'd]

Just came back from BB, looked at a 55'' LG 55LE8500. Looks really good, but is it worth the price of $2499.99 + tax?


Why Plasma > everything?

[!Aznboi128]

plasma has 600hz refresh rate and most accurate colour out of the box, no need for calibration

if you have a dark enough room, plasma should be ur number 1 choice

[TOS'd]

^ mmm, well its for the living room, tv will be angled in 1 corner with the window partially behind it. all other lighting comes from a tall lamp in the room almost diagonal from the tv.

[Manic!]

You can get a 54 inch Panasonic 54 inch 1080P plasma for as low as $1299.

Go plasma. Our Pioneer Plasma is in the same location as your room and looks amazing.

LG is Lucky Goldstar.

[TOS'd]

Are there any good 60'' tvs out there? When i went to BB they only had 55'' on display

Bestbuy only sells lower end TV's FS is for the higher end stuff.

[TOS'd]

^ oh that sucks. how about visions?

btw WTT: $400 BB gift card for FS gift card :lol

Hopefully this is my last question regarding this, but:

LG 55" 1080p 240Hz LED HDTV** (55LE8500) - $2499.99
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/lg-electronics-lg-55-1080p-240hz-led-hdtv-55le8500-55le8500/10142002.aspx?path=fcd3e9311ab0ed37f0faefccf1c047a 9en02

OR

Samsung 55" 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV (UN55C6300) - $1,995.99
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-55-1080p-120hz-led-hdtv-un55c6300-un55c6300/10141261.aspx?path=013b67cc8af78ba223597d46b6550c7 2en02

Worth the price difference? Or do you have another TV to suggest? And I'm being told Plasma wouldn't work well in the spot I have, but some say other wise.

[Manic!]

Buy this:

It's a Plasma. You have 30 days to return it, so see how it works in your room.
It's one of the best Panasonic makes.

[TOS'd]

^ ok ill give that a look, but from the 2 i picked out, which would you go for?

[6insomnia9]

LED > LCD =/= PLASMA.

And if you are going to buy a TV, buy Samsung , i just bought two dual screen monitors for computer, the 7series and i must say Samsung make some crazy fucking screens.

[Manic!]

^ ok ill give that a look, but from the 2 i picked out, which would you go for?

Panasonic then Samsung. I would not get the LG

I think you mean

LED =/= PLASMA.

Led is close but for all out PQ Plasma wins.

[6insomnia9]

It really depends what you are using it for , for me it is all about the gaming.

[TOS'd]

I like LGs..

amen, samsung is the shit
I like LGs..

But Samsung > LG

[lol]

I would choose the Panasonic plasma over both of them but based on what you just mentioned with regards to your room setup, I would stick with led/lcd. I think both those TV's are alright. I work in HT as well.

[alex.w *//]

do not get plasma in a lighted background room with windows

[roastpuff]

^ but how is it? is it a lower end model?

It's a C550, it's a lower end model. One step above the bottom Series C4.

Let me check at work today, but I think we still have the Samsung C8000 series (their best plasma line) 3D plasma for ridiculous low prices. 50" = $1999 bundle INCLUDING Blu-ray 3D player.

Sizes available up to 58" I think. May be larger. :D
