The big Samsungs often have 3D. Will the 3D affect the regular view? I am looking for a clear viewing set that will manage action
I keep reading that TV is changing and I wonder whether these TVs are old technology?
Can I actualy put an aerial on it?
Can these tvs live in a room that in the winter sometimes go down to 60's or even 50's? I would heat the room before I use it.
I have a BJs card and they sell them there. CNET also has them by price at their site.
One last question: is it better with respect to price, to buy now during the Christmas season or wait for the football season.
HDTV PING LIST PLEASE
As a side note, whatever size you decide on, change your mind at the last minute and buy the next size bigger........that way you won’t kick yourself in the butt for not buying bigger when you had the chance.....LOL!
From my experience as a fairly frequent HDTV purchaser over the last 5 years (two 55” LCD’s, one 60” LED, and two DLP projectors) the best deals are almost always between Thanksgiving week and Christmas Eve. After Christmas you can get some good deals on returns, but not new items, as it’s all about supply and demand, and remaining supply of new sets is low while many are out shopping for big ticket items for themselves with money that was given to them as a present.
As far as the technology, unless you really are going to watch 3D, why pay for it? You would get a higher refresh rate so it’s not something to avoid though if the price is right. I would recommend LED displays, almost all come with 1080p too, so you’re not looking back with regret. If you’re on a budget, go LCD, not plasma, so you have a better, brighter picture and lower power bills (even lower with LED). Avoid rear-projectors at all costs (high return rate and repair cost), but nothing can beat a front projector, if you have a dark room and room enough to display it.
I just moved my little 19 inch $98 special to right beside my bed. I am propped up watching Oklahoma/Oklahoma State. The computer monitor and the TV are side by side.
I am so impressed with the picture that I wanted to mention it. This is a 720P model but I don’t see how the picture could be much better. Watching the players with the grass background the picture seems to have almost a three dimensional quality to it.
This is with an outside antenna which was originally installed for the older style receivers.
On the minus side there is definitely a bit of a difference between channels. Some are not quite as sharp as the one I am watching right now.
