This review is from: VIZIO VA19LHDTV10T 19-Inch ECO 720p LCD HDTVI just bought this so I only have a few hours on it. The good. Exceptional piture. Dark blacks of course. But I really bought this for the 3D. I had narrowed my choices down to the samsung pn59D8000 and the Panasonic p55VT30. The 3D on the samsung looked a little artificial to me, that is like the cardboard cut out books that you open and they have one flat image after another. The Panasonic however has a real nice graduation of 3D from front to back. I really liked the new Samsung glasses, the bluetooth connection, light weight, large lenses, and even balance. I still don't like the feel of the Panasonic glasses but they say they are comming out with better ones mid summer. I don't like that Panasonic is still using infared since anything in the path of the beam cuts the 3D. The feature that really wow's me is the 2D to 3D conversion. Oh My God! the Panasonic is soooo much better than the Samsung in this respect. I'd swear the 2D movies I've been watching with this feature are 3D. It has minimum, medium, and maximum settings for this. I like the medium setting which gives a lot of 3D without distorting the 3D effect like the maximum setting does. My local dealer did a good job of matching internet prices and free delivery and set up. The spider stand on the D8000 was really flimsy in real life. So I like the Panasonics heavier but more solid pedestal better. I wanted to buy the VT25 from last year but was still disappointed in the amount of light loss when putting on the 3D glasses. This year the amount of light loss is much much less than last year, even tolerable. Sound is actually pretty good but I still run it through my Denon 7.1 surround system. Another thing that steered me away from the Samsung were all the reports of poor customer service on displays that went out. I wish Panasonic would slim the bezel down more, and go to a wireless glasses recharger.

I have both the Samsung BD-C6900 Blue-ray player and the Panasonic BDT350. Love the Samsung, hate the Panasonic. The Panasonic is not as user friendly, not as pretty, takes forever to load, and makes alot of clicking/humming/buzzing noises when playing a disk. It didn't start out that way but it's been less than a year and already it sounds like a five year old player. The quality of picture produced by each player is basically a wash for me. I really can't tell any difference. I'll try to update this as I get more experience with the TV. Oh by the way - I'm not a football fan but watching it in 3D is like being on the field, incredible. And I was just told buy my sales person that there has been a price drop on the current set of 3d glasses. They are now available for $49.99



UPDATE: 07/12/11 I've bought two additional 55" ST30's so I can put them side by side as part of an "eyefinity" setup on my computer. The ST30's are suprisingly pretty good but I had to go through one return due to one looking grainy (a known not uncommon issue with panasonics in general and the ST30's specifically). Now if they can only get rid of the bezel.



UPDATE: Well first day and already its gone bad. I got the vertical black bar that covers about an eighth of the screen about 3/4 of the way on the right side. In researching similar problems it might indicate the Plasma Display Panel (PDP) was defective. It appears I have a vertical block that is bad. Retailer is getting me another one tomorrow.



UPDATE: Ok new TV working well. On the standard picture setting its really too dark. So I increased the brightness by changing to game or cinema. I've been watching 2d movies with the 2d to 3d conversion with good results. I just watched my first real 3D movie "Tangled". I have seen the 2D version of this movie about 5 times but watching it in 3D is like seeing it for the first time. WOW! I'll never be able to watch it in 2D again. The details are amazing. You notice every blade of grass, every leaf on the trees, every strand of hair on people, all sorts of things I've never noticed before like birds flying in the fore and background, butterfies and pollen, textures on just about everything! The only negative I see in 3D is when somthing moves fast like a swinging arm. I don't know if its motion blur or just me not being able to focus fast enough. The picture is brighter and clearer with better 3D than I've seen in the theaters. I have a 2009 Samsung 63" plasma which I still like the 2D bright, clear, sharp picture of over this Panasonic. But for 3D I'm quite satisfied. I also use this set as my main computer monitor. It's fun to watch online movie content with the 2D to 3D conversion active.



UPDATE: The way I see it the ST30, GT30, and VT30 are basically good, better, best. The best way for me to describe the picture quality difference is similar to watching a 60hz refresh rate and then watching an 80hz refresh rate. The picture just seems clearer, sharper, and more stable. Now the thing that really suprised me was watching 3D on the ST30's. It was as good as the VT30. In fact I had a really hard time trying to tell the difference. So is it worth the difference in price? Hmmmm hard question to answer. As you can see even though I have the money for three VT30's, I opted for one VT30 plus two ST30's and I'm happy with the results. I tried the apps and they are great but all the ones I like wanted money. I guess I'm not ready to pay for them. As far as the 55" being big enough to watch 3D, yes...

Samsung UN46D7900 46-Inch 1080p 240HZ 3D LED HDTV (Silver)



3D glasses not included in box, must be purchased as optional accessory

Auto Motion Plus 240Hz with Clear Motion Rate

Full HD 1080p resolution

Samsung Smart 3D TV

Samsung Smart TV

3D



This review is from: Samsung UN46D7900 46-Inch 1080p 240HZ 3D LED HDTV (Silver)The Samsung C750 is the most reasonable 3DTV on the market in terms of price. Not only is the television fully 3D compliant with the new standards, it also is an excellent 2D LCD television as well.



The 3D aspects of the television are the most interesting and what separates it from most other LCD's (including Samsung's 650 model). Although there is not much in terms of content to try out, I have watched Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D, Played Avatar the videogame on the PS3, watched the Masters in 3D, and tried out the 2D to 3D Conversion on live TV, movies, and games.



Unfortunately with all 3D sources, I have experienced some "ghosting" which is a problem where you see a double image. That said, I did manage to configure my Samsung 3D Bluray Player to the correct TV size (by default it's 55 inches) plus I upgraded the firmware and that seems to have made a large improvement. I suspect the picture size spreads out the effect and will cause even more ghosting than normal. With Avatar the game, I left the 3D effect at 1, set the correct TV size and viewing distance, and chose side by side 3D (you have to set the TV to match this) and the effect was brilliant! I do still see ghosting during cut scenes, but during gameplay it looks fantastic. The Masters, was a bit of a mixed bag. It is also side by side 3D and at times it is brilliant (when the camera pans around the environment your jaw will drop) but the first time you see severe ghosting you are taken out of the moment. However, I think once Cable and Satellite receivers are more 3D ready, you should be able to configure for the screen size, depth, and viewing distance.



2D to 3D is unique and has its moments of brilliance but also has severe drawbacks. Let's put it this way, you won't confuse Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D in it's native 3D format for watching Monsters Vs. Aliens in 2D to 3D conversion. The conversion (you can change the depth) actually can be quite blurry with some material and most material isn't worth watching converted. Some movies like Star Trek are kind of fun but I wouldn't buy the television strictly for this feature.



2D content is fantastic. The color (even the black level since you can configure the backlight without having to hack the firmware), sharpness, and overall features (such as MotionPlus) are astounding for the price range. I actually have turned off MotionPlus simply because it gives non sports programming a "Spanish Soap Opera" effect. I did run into a bit of a strange issue that seems to have gone away by resetting the cable box where the picture bounced up and down using a Time Warner HD Cable box hooked via HDMI (you need HDMI to view the Masters in 3D). I really can't hold that against the TV, it was more the cable box but I've read of similar problems with some Samsung models so there does seem to be some buggy firmware with the box.



Overall if it wasn't for the ghosting issues still being present (it could be the content, but I cannot be sure, I'd like to test more 3D Televisions) and the 2D to 3D conversion being slightly underwhelming I'd give this TV a perfect score. As it is, if you are in the market for an affordable HDTV and want the 3D option, you can't go wrong. You have plenty of inputs (plus two usb slots) and the TV is a beautiful compliment to your entertainment room so I highly recommend this television (it's nearly $1,000 cheaper than the LED model of the same size).





Edit as of 5/12/2010:

I've had this TV now for a few weeks and gone through a firmware update, tested some more functions, calibrated it more, and updated the firmware on the Samsung 6900 3D Bluray Player twice.



I want to change my comments on 2D -> 3D conversion. I don't know if it's the firmware upgrade or what, but now I definitely see a difference in most scenes (I have the depth up to 10). Games like Uncharted 2 with a map like "The Village" look fantastic converted. I've also managed to get Avatar (The Game) on the PS3 to look great with side by side 3D with minimal ghosting. Since the firmware update and the 3D Optimize option for the TV, Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D also looks very good.



I did have a stupid moment where I noticed a huge lag playing something like Rock Band and finally realized there is a game mode. Since going to game mode, I have no issues playing videogames and the response time is virtually nothing now.



I absolutely love the TV, it does have some flashlighting (You don't see this unless the screen is ENTIRELY black) but 2D content looks fantastic and 3D is impressing me more and more. For a while it was even cheaper than it is now on Amazon but the price went back up. It's still worth it. I see some people bashing the TV simply because the glasses aren't included or it's not competing with the Panasonic 3D Plasma models but they obviously haven't seen it. Everybody that has reviewed this TV on Amazon owns the TV, some sites people are reviewing 3D Ready TV's without actually owning it. I've seen reviews based on a 5 minute demo and they couldn't even tell you the firmware level. Believe me this TV is awesome and once you experience a true 3D source, you will have little doubt 3D is the next wave in TV (it may be a few years until it reaches mainstream).



I'm also giving it 5 stars since the firmware update since ghosting/crosstalk has gotten a lot better (it's still not quite perfect but very impressive).

This review is from: Samsung UN46D7900 46-Inch 1080p 240HZ 3D LED HDTV (Silver)Posted this on AVS forums and decided to post it here too since I bought the TV here on Amazon.



Posted on 6/24/10

Finally got the Samsung from Amazon after almost 2 weeks. Slowest shipping I've seen in a long time. I'd ra...

VIZIO E220VA 22 Inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTV



This review is from: VIZIO E220VA 22 Inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTVGreat picture with vivid colors, easy to use remote, menu options are easy to follow. We were not going to upgrade to an HDTV until we watched a couple of programs on a friends Samsung 46-inch LCD TV. No comparison to our old regular TV, the detail and color are amazing.

This review is from: VIZIO E220VA 22 Inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTVI bought this on a whim at a local big-box store after seeing true blacks beat the competing LG 47" model. Everything about the TV is incredible, especially compared to the 32" Toshiba LCD it replaced. The display settings are all adjustable, for example, "Auto Motion Plus" with 1-10 settings for both blur and judder reduction.



It has a USB input on the recessed side and can play Divx AVI files, XVID, and a few video files types. If you're playing a movie file and stop it (accident or otherwise), the 'D button' on the remote will return you to the same spot. The player also has fast forward and rewind. Only minor complaints are the back-lit remote glows orange (cheap) and doesn't even light all of the buttons.



The big problem I have is light leakage in the bottom two corners. On a black screen, you can see this as a flashlight effect pointing at 45 degrees to the middle. I can adjust the settings and come close to fix it, but on a dark movie like "The Descent" - it's still there. This is totally not acceptable, as I bought the TV primarily to watch movies. I'll probably return it in the next few days. Maybe for the same, or the LG 47" model. I'd read this was a big problem with low-end edge-lit LED models so this is a bit disappointing.

This review is from: VIZIO E220VA 22 Inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTVI bought this a few weeks ago and it is absolutely amazing!! Its actually a little disturbing how realistic the picture quality is. I have no complaints about this TV. You can't beat the price for an LCD TV. The auto motion technology makes everything so life like. And even if you have just a basic DVD player this TV makes the DVD's look great!!

This review is from: VIZIO E220VA 22 Inch Class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTVThis review is a little long winded. Skip to the bottom for just the pros and cons. Or, keep reading to waste 10 minutes of your life.



Over the last 5 years, I have been using a 58" Panasonic Plasma TV. Not a bad TV, but not the greatest either. It was only 1080i, it got hot pretty fast (which made the room hot and the air condition kick on too often), and the dimensions were weird (I looked at entertainment centers that should fit a 60" TV, but the TV still wouldn't fit.). I felt an upgrade was in order.



I'll have to admit, shopping for a TV was pretty fun. A lot of work though. The research was overwhelming at times. Websites upon websites, magazines, books, different people's inputs, salesmen trying to sell you different things depending on which store you went to, etc. I narrowed it down to one of many Sony HDTVs or a Samsung C or D series. After narrowing it down to those 2 brands, it was a little easier. I went to about 4 different Fry's Electronics and 7 different Best Buys to check it out in different situations. After that, it came down to the UN55D8000 (boy, did I memorize those numbers). To make the decision easier, I was looking on Amazon, and to my amazement, they had it for $500 less that everyone else, plus free shipping. Score!



With the free shipping, it usually takes a little longer. I would say, from the time the order was placed, until it got to my front door, it took about 1.5 weeks. It came delivered from Home Direct, USA and had no issues with delivery. They were going to set up the TV, but I told them not to, since my entertainment center hadn't come in yet. I opened up the box, put the TV on a soft cloth (our bed's comforter) and installed the stand. Eight screws, piece of cake. I connected the Directv receiver and a PS3. There are a few settings you will set in the beginning when the TV turns on. Takes about 2 minutes, literally. After that, the fun begins! Going from 1080i to 1080p is a huge difference! I had a recording of Chuck on the DVR and it almost looked live. I also watched some regular satellite programming and even the non-HD channels looked amazing.



After wiping the drool off the floor, I wanted to check out the 3D part of the TV. I popped in the free copy of Shrek the 3rd in the PS3, put on the glasses and waited to be amazed. Aside from the amazing colors, it looked exactly like 2D! WTH?! Then, I remember reading somewhere that the PS3 does indeed play 3D movies, BUT with an upgrade. I waited about 30 minutes for the upgrade to finish. After that, loaded up the dvd again, and there was the movie with that funky 3D image. Hey wait, I have 3D glasses on, how come I see that. Oh, oops. Batteries need to be installed in the glasses. Finally! The 3D image was awesome! Seriously, watching TV in 3D is amazing. I can't wait `til there's more media in 3D. As it stands right now, the only real movies in 3D are either documentaries or cartoons, with the exception of a few regular movies (i.e. Resident Evil, Step Up 3, etc.)



I just set it up last night, so I can't give you a whole lot more information. But, even if I did have more time, I don't think I can give you the detailed specs that you might be looking for. I'm not an expert on home theater. Here's an overview of pros and cons:



PROS:

* The lack of a bigger bezel really does make a difference. Not only aesthetically, but in terms of functionality, too (better 3D viewing. It looks like you're looking thru a window.).

* Images are spectacular. Whether it be regular programming, HDTV programming, or Blu-Ray.

* Price on Amazon was very good!

* Delivery was pain-free.

* A lot of settings options, so you can set up the TV to your preference and the viewing scenario (i.e. movie, standard, etc.)

* 3D movie watching i...

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA EX 700 Series 32-Inch LED TV, Black (KDL-32EX700)and I like it! I picked this TV up at a local Sam's Club after my old TV gave out after 9 years. This 32 inch fit in the same opening that my old 27-inch fit in in thanks to it's compact size. It did not take long to hook up to the cable, Wii and DVD player. It scanned the channels automatically and was ready to go. 5 stars for ease of setup and use, plus there are so many options for the sound and audio. The picture is SO much better than I had before and I look forward to enjoying what I'm watching on a whole new level.

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA EX 700 Series 32-Inch LED TV, Black (KDL-32EX700)I bought this TV in May 2009. In December 2010, it quit. Of course, the warranties had passed, so I turned it over to a local repairman. I knew that repairing it would cost almost as much as buying a new one, but I decided to reuse and employ a local fellow rather than subsidize the Chinese TV industry once again. Yesterday I learned that it is not repairable and he tells me that it appears to be something with the front panel screen. I won't buy another Magnavox.

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA EX 700 Series 32-Inch LED TV, Black (KDL-32EX700)I bought this TV over two years ago, and it still runs great. It has good picture quality, the remote is easy to use, and the manual controls are easy to get to. I really like the DVD player that comes with it because I don't have to connect a separate player to watch DVDs.

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA EX 700 Series 32-Inch LED TV, Black (KDL-32EX700)I was given this TV as a birthday present. It has a great picture, and the sound was surprisingly good. It was easy to hook up, and the controls and settings are very easy to use. It has 2 HDMI connections for future purchases, but for now I have my Wii, Old DVD player, and VCR hooked to the composite input via a switch box that I got from Radio Shack for $20. All in all I'm very pleased with it, it's a great value.

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA EX 700 Series 32-Inch LED TV, Black (KDL-32EX700)Love it, a great buy. Just wish that UPS - the shipper, hadn't left the package in full view on my front porch in the rain when ther were 2 unlocked cars in the driveway AND the cleaning lady was IN THE HOUSE!

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA EX 700 Series 32-Inch LED TV, Black (KDL-32EX700)so far no major problems with the t.v. Not familiar with the brand so I have been a little nervous about it.. No secondary sound support yet so I am not sure if there will be any lag on it or not. My daughter loved it. It was a little higher than other deals I have found for a comparable tv; however I am fully aware I paid for the "pink." There is one thing that they could have done to put the appearance over the top. Include a matching pink remote. This t.v is ok for a kids room where they watch from one viewing location I went in her room and sat on the floor and couldn't see most of the picture, and what I could see was distorted. If not On HD channels i notice a slight bleeding of the colors into each other.. I am used to a much higher quality and am not sure if everyone would notice or not. Its not so much that it is severly distracting. The color and picture are ok as long as you sit on her bed. If this were not a decor choice where you needed the pink, I would recommend going with either the larger tv you can get for the same price or this size in black but in a little higher quality. I'm not dissapointed, again I knew what I was paying for,just know that ahead of time. Oh the sender sent it quicklyand well packed. (Androma Camera)

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA EX 700 Series 32-Inch LED TV, Black (KDL-32EX700)I LOVE this t.v. It is huge, works wonderfully, and was so inexpensive. I am going to order a second one next week for my upstairs! I hope they do not sell out of them by thurs. or I will be sad. This is the best t.v I have ever bought and I have had a few new ones!!

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA EX 700 Series 32-Inch LED TV, Black (KDL-32EX700)Only issue we had was the wires. For some reason 2 wires are loose and when they aren't completely connected there is no volume. It took a little time to figure that out, which was very annoying but now everything's good.

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA EX 700 Series 32-Inch LED TV, Black (KDL-32EX700)I've had the unit for about 1.5 months now. Before I purchased the unit, I read numerous reviews about others hearing a "Buzzing" noise. In life, I work as a Detective/Investigator, so, I dove in deep on what to buy. I shopped everywhere from Sears Electronics, Best Buy, Local Television Electronics shops. I finally purchased the unit about 3 weeks later from ABC Warehouse (They gave the best price). Plus, I personally didn't want to shell out 1800 bucks for my TV and have to risk damage during delivery. Pay for a unit you have to wait for and then risk it arriving broken?! Not for me. :) Every place I shopped, I could hear "NO BUZZING". I inquired about the buzz with the folks at Samsung as well as a local Repair shop. I was told it's due to outside interference. The unit comes with 3 cylinder type filters that need to be PROPERLY placed around both ends of the POWER CORD. There is an instruction leaflet in the paperw...

This review is from: 32 Inch - LCD - 720P - 400CD/M2 - 1300:1 - 178We reviewed the other (nearly identical) model on our show in March and I liked it so much I decided to buy one. I love Amazon.com, that's why the review is also posted here. When I got mine, I was overjoyed. You can check out the full review of the FN model at htguys.com, but here's the conclusion:



What we liked



* Awesome HD picture

* Amazing black levels

* Great, real color

* Excellent detail

* Two HDMI inputs

* Price



What we disliked



* Remote control

* Menu system

* Input switching with the factory remote



Conclusion

The JVC HD-61FN97 is an excellent value. It looks great, does a wonderful job with HD content, a great job with DVDs and a pretty good job with standard definition TV. Blacks are good, contrast is solid, colors are excellent and detail is vivid. We try to look for great values to help you (and us for that matter) get a little more out of each hard earned dollar. You'd be hard pressed to find a better looking 61" TV at its price. It really helps bring the big screen home.

This review is from: 32 Inch - LCD - 720P - 400CD/M2 - 1300:1 - 178I've owned this display now for about 3 months. Simply put; I could not be happier. The picture is absolutely stunning and flawless. When watching Discovery HD on my DirecTV HD receiver; you are there! At the time of this writing Discovery HD is about 3 weeks into their "Planet Earth" series and to see the beauty of this incredible program on this display is quite frankly mind-boggling. Even the sound on the internal speakers which I only use occasionaly is great for internal TV speakers. The blue light on the front that some seem to be a little disturbed about that it could distract them is not distracting to me at all, but if it distracts you, it can be dimmed or turned off completely; so that is not an issue. The fan is as quiet as you're going to get and can only barely be heard with the volume completely down, and the wife and I sit only about 7 1/2 feet away.



I was offered a choice at the store where I buy of getting the 60" Sony, the 61" Samsung or the 61" JVC all 1080p displays and all at the exact same price...The JVC was in my opinion the hands down winner in picture quality. That said, I'm sure either of the other 2 displays would also make pretty much anyone happy.



In any case, trust me...with this display, and my Parasound pre/pro and amps, Aerial (FL, FR, and center) and Energy (4 rear channels) speakers, 2 15" DefTech subs all set up in a 7.2 configuration...As my wife now says: The theatres are so inferior. Ya gotta love it!



I HIGHLY recommend this display to even the most discerning videophile.

This review is from: 32 Inch - LCD - 720P - 400CD/M2 - 1300:1 - 178I finally made a decision on which HDTV to purchase after a lengthy study. Although I am not taking delivery for a few days, I feel I know this tv very well. Also I hope this review can help others who are considering this unit. I was torn between the Sony XBR2, the Samsung 61" and the JVC. All are 1080p but the Samsung is said to have "wobulation" which is not TRUE 1080p so... I finally decided to purchase the Sony, ($3000) based on all the great reviews this tv had. I also am a believer in the LCOS technology over DLP. Anyway, I couldn't get the JVC out of my mind. Everytime I went to Best Buy to research tv's I kept seeing the unbelievable picture on the JVC. The Sony, no matter what store, never had a great "out of the box" picture, like the JVC. And no, the JVC hadn't been tweaked. When I saw the price included a $300 stand, it was just to financially a plus not to get the JVC. Technically a $1300 differance. I know many will say that the Sony is better but I couldn't deny the fantastic picture I saw at the store. I just can't justify spending $1300 more for the Sony. I'd rather have the extra money for maybe an HD-DVD player. After I take delivery, I will comment on the tv after about a month.

This review is from: 32 Inch - LCD - 720P - 400CD/M2 - 1300:1 - 178I can still remember the jump from a SDTV to this HDTV "without a tuner". This TV might not be the highest resolution, but it is a great buy. I remember hooking my Tivo system to it, and the picture was so much better, without any HDTV programming. For games, it's great. You can adjust the color and video noise reduction if you have several things hooked up to your television. I just bought a Nintendo Wii, along with HDTV cables. The games look really good on this TV. I approve this buy. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because of the lack of resolution sizes.

This review is from: 32 Inch - LCD - 720P - 400CD/M2 - 1300:1 - 178I just bought one of these used, and I think it is GREAT! The sound is amazing, and the picture is very, very good when using component and s-video cables. A huge step up from my old GE, even if it is "just" an SD set. Way to go, RCA!

This review is from: 32 Inch - LCD - 720P - 400CD/M2 - 1300:1 - 178I've had this TV for about two years, and I must say, it has never once let me down. It has component inputs, which even on an SDTV provide exceptional clarity. It's especially noticeable when watching DVDs. For it's size, this TV is an incredible value. The only thing that has ever let me down with this TV is the fact that it is only standard definition. Having just 480p would have...

This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-65837 65-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTVGot it for $1,700 shipped vs. $1,900-$2,300 sold elsewhere. Great high definition picture and very good standard definition. The best viewing angle of any LCD screen that I've seen. Sound quality is atypical, with good simulated bass. Built-in virtual surround sound eliminates the need for a home theatre system except for audiophiles. Like most LCD, it does not do black color well. Human skin tone looks cartoonish at closeup, a negative for this set. There is no blur motion, even with NASCAR. The on-screen menu is very easy to navigate, so no need to read the manual on the CD. Lots of connectivity options on the back and a few jacks on the side for camcorder (no HiDef.) Auto-sizing is always correct on screen size - unlike some other HDTVs that sometimes get it wrong. There is a green/red status LED so that I know whether the TV is actually on or in standby mode (less than 1W with EnergyStar.) The set is heavy at 110 pounds, but that also helps deter theft I reckon. The shining and narrow black frame is absolutely beautiful. Overall, I highly recommend this 52" monster.

This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-65837 65-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTVI've wanting to dive into HD TVs for quite some time now. I ordered this beautiful, glossy, thin behemoth. I ordered the TV for only $1300 versus where I originally found it watching HSN selling for $2300. The product was ordered through Tiger Direct and I received the TV within one week. The packing stated the weight was 112 lbs. My tiny girlfriend and I were able to carry it around with ease though. No dead pixels or physical damage to the TV what so ever. I hooked up the HD cable, XBOX 360, and my surround sound system. I played Gears of War 2 & Halo 3 immediately. The colors were simply amazing except for the range of black. There was no blur during 10 hours of straight playtime. The sound wasn't bad when I unhooked my surround sound for TV shows, but during the play of XBOX there was a difference not too big though. There are plenty of jacks on this TV and I've even hooked up my laptop to the TV with no problems at all. I can even sit away from the TV with a wireless mouse/keyboard linked to my laptop and can still read websites just fine. All in all I'm very happy with this purchase. Thank-You LG & Amazon

This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-65837 65-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTVMy husband and I have owned alot of different TV's and I tell you what, this is the best TV ever.. the quality of the picture is amazing... crystal clear.. the features are increadable.. I am using it as a Tv and and a computer monitor! you can't beat it, its a great value too.

This review is from: Mitsubishi WD-65837 65-Inch 1080p 120Hz Home Theater DLP HDTVI have been researching TV's for quite awhile trying to determine the best one for me. I have watched the technology continually improve and am amazed by the progress. I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase a television and was certain I was going to purchase a DLP set. I made one of my many trips to the local electronics store to do more comparisons of certain models I had picked out and had not even considered an LCD TV, let alone an LG television. I was walking along the displays when my girlfrined actually pointed out the TV to me. I took a brief look and didn't see anything special and it was only upon closer inspection that I discovered what an awesome TV the LG 42LB5D is.



First, I set all of the neighboring 42" Televisions to the same HDTV signal (which anyone can do- just select the input on the tv's until they all show the same signal). I was never a fan of LCD TV's due to the pixelation in fast scenes-usually sports. This TV did the best job of displaying fast-moving sequences with very little pixelation, even better than the nearby Sony, Samsung, Toshiba, and Sharp models. My curiosity was piqued. I don't know if it is because of the proprietary software they use to render the image or if it is because the LCD panel has a 5ms response time. In case you don't know, a 5ms response time for an LCD panel is very, very fast. Alot of the other manufacturers have an 8ms response time. The faster the response time of the panel, the better it is able to render fast changing images.



Next, I switched the channels to a standard definition signal. Since most of what is on cable and satellite is broadcast in SDTV, it would be a good idea to pick a TV that does a good job of displaying that signal without making it look so bad. This television does an amazing job of displaying SDTV signals. Of course, it'll never be as good as a plain old CRT TV, but it does one heckuva job! Now I was getting really impressed.



The colors were bright and looked as good as the brand new Samsung LNT-4265, though the Samsung had a little deeper blacks. I don't think the extra few hundred dollars I would have had to pay would be worth that. Especially considering the better pixelation performace I noticed on the LG. (Pixelation annoys the heck out of me, by the way.)



I started checking out the specs. It has a clear QAM tuner that allows you to receive digital cable signals without the cable box. That usually means you can get all of the local network (ABC, CBS, NBC, CW, PBS) hi-def and secondary digital channels for free over your cable line (as long as you're not using a cable box connected to your TV). After I took it home, I f...

This review is from: Sony NSX-46GT1 46 inch 1080P Wireless Intenet LED HDTVI just bought this so I only have a few hours on it. The good. Exceptional piture. Dark blacks of course. But I really bought this for the 3D. I had narrowed my choices down to the samsung pn59D8000 and the Panasonic p55VT30. The 3D on the samsung looked a little artificial to me, that is like the cardboard cut out books that you open and they have one flat image after another. The Panasonic however has a real nice graduation of 3D from front to back. I really liked the new Samsung glasses, the bluetooth connection, light weight, large lenses, and even balance. I still don't like the feel of the Panasonic glasses but they say they are comming out with better ones mid summer. I don't like that Panasonic is still using infared since anything in the path of the beam cuts the 3D. The feature that really wow's me is the 2D to 3D conversion. Oh My God! the Panasonic is soooo much better than the Samsung in this respect. I'd swear the 2D movies I've been watching with this feature are 3D. It has minimum, medium, and maximum settings for this. I like the medium setting which gives a lot of 3D without distorting the 3D effect like the maximum setting does. My local dealer did a good job of matching internet prices and free delivery and set up. The spider stand on the D8000 was really flimsy in real life. So I like the Panasonics heavier but more solid pedestal better. I wanted to buy the VT25 from last year but was still disappointed in the amount of light loss when putting on the 3D glasses. This year the amount of light loss is much much less than last year, even tolerable. Sound is actually pretty good but I still run it through my Denon 7.1 surround system. Another thing that steered me away from the Samsung were all the reports of poor customer service on displays that went out. I wish Panasonic would slim the bezel down more, and go to a wireless glasses recharger.

I have both the Samsung BD-C6900 Blue-ray player and the Panasonic BDT350. Love the Samsung, hate the Panasonic. The Panasonic is not as user friendly, not as pretty, takes forever to load, and makes alot of clicking/humming/buzzing noises when playing a disk. It didn't start out that way but it's been less than a year and already it sounds like a five year old player. The quality of picture produced by each player is basically a wash for me. I really can't tell any difference. I'll try to update this as I get more experience with the TV. Oh by the way - I'm not a football fan but watching it in 3D is like being on the field, incredible. And I was just told buy my sales person that there has been a price drop on the current set of 3d glasses. They are now available for $49.99



UPDATE: 07/12/11 I've bought two additional 55" ST30's so I can put them side by side as part of an "eyefinity" setup on my computer. The ST30's are suprisingly pretty good but I had to go through one return due to one looking grainy (a known not uncommon issue with panasonics in general and the ST30's specifically). Now if they can only get rid of the bezel.



UPDATE: Well first day and already its gone bad. I got the vertical black bar that covers about an eighth of the screen about 3/4 of the way on the right side. In researching similar problems it might indicate the Plasma Display Panel (PDP) was defective. It appears I have a vertical block that is bad. Retailer is getting me another one tomorrow.



UPDATE: Ok new TV working well. On the standard picture setting its really too dark. So I increased the brightness by changing to game or cinema. I've been watching 2d movies with the 2d to 3d conversion with good results. I just watched my first real 3D movie "Tangled". I have seen the 2D version of this movie about 5 times but watching it in 3D is like seeing it for the first time. WOW! I'll never be able to watch it in 2D again. The details are amazing. You notice every blade of grass, every leaf on the trees, every strand of hair on people, all sorts of things I've never noticed before like birds flying in the fore and background, butterfies and pollen, textures on just about everything! The only negative I see in 3D is when somthing moves fast like a swinging arm. I don't know if its motion blur or just me not being able to focus fast enough. The picture is brighter and clearer with better 3D than I've seen in the theaters. I have a 2009 Samsung 63" plasma which I still like the 2D bright, clear, sharp picture of over this Panasonic. But for 3D I'm quite satisfied. I also use this set as my main computer monitor. It's fun to watch online movie content with the 2D to 3D conversion active.



UPDATE: The way I see it the ST30, GT30, and VT30 are basically good, better, best. The best way for me to describe the picture quality difference is similar to watching a 60hz refresh rate and then watching an 80hz refresh rate. The picture just seems clearer, sharper, and more stable. Now the thing that really suprised me was watching 3D on the ST30's. It was as good as the VT30. In fact I had a really hard time trying to tell the difference. So is it worth the difference in price? Hmmmm hard question to answer. As you can see even though I have the money for three VT30's, I opted for one VT30 plus two ST30's and I'm happy with the results. I tried the apps and they are great but all the ones I like wanted money. I guess I'm not ready to pay for them. As far as the 55" being big enough to watch 3D, yes, in fact for movies I have to back up a little from my usual four foot distance to a six foot distance to get the whole thing in my fileld of view. I know people out there probab...
