In terms of picture quality, which Samsung HDTV is best? LCD, Plasma or LED?

It would also be helpful if you can recommend a Samsung 50" 1080p television costing around â¬1,700 for me based on the answer. I'm confused :3


Answer
Plasma will deliver you the best overall image, especially in a TV of that size. It will provide better blacks, colors, and contrast, just inherent to the technology. It will also provide better playback of fast motion images as its response time is near instantaneous (like that of CRT). But you do want to condition it. For the first 100-200 hours of use, crank the brightness and contrast down to warm up the gasses. Then optimize it and enjoy.

LED LCD is the best kind of LCD on the market. By using the LED backlight those LCD HDTVs are able to vastly improve their colors, blacks, and contrasts. They are not quite as good as a Plasma, but are getting damn close (and for many, close enough that they couldn't tell). But they are still inherently weak on fast motion and suffer from motion blur issues. Hence the 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates (or I guess 100Hz and 200Hz for you).

LCD is the everyman HDTV. For the mid-range sizes they are just cost effective and accessible. If you want to move into an HDTV at a low cost they're the way to go for most people. So they serve their purpose in the consumer landscape.

Pioneer Kuro Elites are the best Plasmas out there period, but cost a fortune. More within your budget I would look to a Panasonic Viera 850/800 series Plasma HDTV. I think that would be your best image. Or this year's model is the TC-L50G10. The S1 is also a decent option and a bit cheaper.

If you're sold on Samsung though, their Plasmas are solid options as well. Any of the PS50A556 - A558 should be fine. I'm not sure what the subtle differences are with those 3 sets, but can't image its vastly different considering they're all 5 series TVs.

what LED hdtv should I buy to avoid noticing any Lag whatsover?

Hi I have 2 Vizio HDTV. One is an LED and it is a 120 HZ and it is a 47 inch and the other is an LCD 47 inch one and also 120 hz. Now I am gonna give you a great example. You know for anyone who watches NBC Sunday Night Football and they go to the replay and the NBC Logo comes up to show the replay and after they show the replay the NBC Logs comes up again to go back to Live TV, well this is a great example because I notice somewhat of a lag when that happens and I see like a ghosting effect I guess and I also notice the pixels when that happens. It happens on other channels too but I notice it more on NBC Sunday Night Football. I have HD Directv with HDMI cable. So that isn't the problem. It is crazy because the other night I also watched the game on NFL Game Rewind app on the IPAD MINI and I didn't notice any lag whatsoever during the game. Is this lag or ghosting or whatever you want to call it caused by the response time of the TV or is it caused by the Refresh rate of the TV. I mean both of my Vizio TV's are doing the same thing and I even have a 3rd Sony 60 hz tv and it does it on that as well. So my questions are as follows:

1)Is the Lag caused by the Response Time or the Refresh Rate or what exactly?

2)Why is it on the IPAD Mini I didn't notice the lag?

3)I want the images to be crisp without any lag or ghosting or anything like that. What specifications on the TV should I look for?

4)For a 2013 say tv between a 30 to 39 inch what exact tv model do I look at to not see any lag etc?

5)How about a 40 to 50 inch TV which model should I look at?

6)Do I buy instead a monitor that is like 27 inch or 32 inch with an hdmi with a response time of say 1 ms. Please let me know.

Please answer each of my above 6 questions in details. Thanks.
For the Panasonic Plasma I should get a 1080P right rather than a 720P. The only problem that I have with Plasmas is that the picture is way too dim compared to the LED or LCD TV and I like a picture that is very bright. Please help. Thanks.



Answer
It's just a lag based on the distance of the TV and box from the satellite and just the broadcast in general. One of my family members had the same issue they have a 20 inch LED tv in their bedroom and a 32 inch LED tv in there living room. You can hear the TV's echo each other when on the same channel. Next the reason you didn't notice any lag on the iPad Mini is because it wasn't a live stream of it, it was a replay of what happened. So it's not looking for the live feed of the game over the internet, it's downloading it to the iPad's temporary memory just so it can play it through. This really isn't the TV at all VIZIO TV's are great options. This goes back to just DirecTV's ability to get the live video to the satellites and then to TV's across the US mainly. The only option would be to get a 240 Hz or 480 Hz HDTV but I really don't recommend that because those are mainly LCD TV's and LCD is probably the last option you want for a TV. LED is the best quality for a TV and LCD is better for a computer screen image. Overall for TV screen sizes you asked. The Best options are Samsung with there Smart HDTV's, Sharp's new IGZO display HDTV's, then Samsung is always reliable choice for HDTV's
