For my uncle actually. I have the Samsung LN52A750 lcd and I absolutely love it. I love the way LCD's look. My friend got a Samsung PN58A550 plasma and while it looks awesome it does not look quite as good as mine. I love the 120 auto motion stuff. Makes it look super realistic. Anyways, now my uncle wants a tv. Which one of these should I recommend: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-PDP-5...?ie=UTF8&s=audio-video&qid=1233435984&sr=1-17 Pioneer Kuro plasma which everybody says is the best tv ever. or http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LN52A...1?ie=UTF8&s=audio-video&qid=1233435984&sr=1-1 Samung LCD. Basically the tv that I have and I absolutely love.
I have the Samsung 650 (second tv in your post). It's awesome. Right now Samsung is having a promotion with the NFL Superbowl, $200 NFL Shop Gift Card http://pages.samsung.com/us/superbowl2009/
i have a friend that has that kuro tv im pretty sure. not sure if its the elite or not but it makes me want to get one after watching a few movies on it. great great picture. and i see its $2000 on amazon. i have a question though will you be able to get that specific tv cheaper in the future or will they discontinue making it and update that version with the same price. because i wont be buying it for 9months or maybe even until next christmas, just curious if it will go down in price.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HL56A...1?ie=UTF8&s=audio-video&qid=1233438037&sr=1-1 Samsung HL56A650 Freaking great TV. So awesome.
That is an amazing tv. My parents have it. As far as DLP goes its up there. But the picture quality does not even compare to an lcd or plasma.
In 9 months the newer 2009 models will be out and the current tv's will be pretty hard to find. The older models might be cheaper but marginally.
Well, the Pioneer Kuro is better, but if your uncle's tv space is near too many windows, then I'd go LCD. The Pioneer Kuro has a cool feature that auto adjust your picture settings based on the lighting of your room.
Samsung is coming out with 240hz, LED based LCDs named Luxia (high end) so that's the top of the line coming out:
The 50" non-Elite Pioneer Kuro is now around $1900 online with free shipping. Going to pull the trigger soon on this one.
Where do you see it for $1900? I went to best buy just to check it out and its absolutely amazing! Gonna go with this one for sure. On amazon its $2020. Can't believe anyone would buy it from best buy for $3500 plus tax and delivery is basically $4000. So online its 50% off!!!!
There is a Philips LCD 1080P 120Hz model at Sam's for 849. I'm sure its not as nice as the Pioneer but its less than half the price.
