LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

[Pete1210]

I like the Vizio TVs too. I have a 37" LCD. When the bulb on my Toshiba DLP goes again, I will probably replace that with another Vizio.

For DLPS, from relatives I have heard Mistisubisha is the brand to get.....And gamecock you know I am still eyeing that 73 inch Mistisubisha for $1500 LOL. My living room is big enough, it is 25 feet long and 12 feet wide. Over all I like Samsung, LG and Sony. Sony is the pricest brand out there though. More important thing to look at is to make sure the tv has the features you are looking for. Like the number of HDMI slots, componets slots, USB slots, PC slots, where they got those slots. Some brands have them all on the back, some have them all on the side and some have them in both places. I know one of my friends bought a 55 inch LCD, he wanted to mount it on the wall, but all the slots for connecting stuff was in back of the tv right in the center of the back at that. Which meant he had to buy a wall mount that stuck out from the wall, instead of one of those low profile wall mounts. Because there was no way he could plug anything in with a low profile mount, it was too close to the wall.

I love DLP's and they come really close imo to producing that excellent CRT-like image quality. After 4+ years I have not had to replace the bulb on this one and the picture still looks really good. I have noticed it degrade a little bit, but not too bad. If we had the extra space upstairs, I would not be getting rid of this yet.

BTW, which LCD did your friend get that had the issue with the panel/wall mount?

For a 55", how many feet should you be sitting away and how high should the TV be mounted to the wall for that size? I was reading that it should be eye level on the mount, but was not too sure.

I think it was a Vizio or Phillips. Far as the mount on the wall, all depends on the height of your furniture, because some furniture sits low to the ground and some sit high off the ground. But pretty much when standing, you want it to come up to your chest or neck on the wall, because that is about the eye level for you when you are sitting down.

For any tv, you should be sitting at least 10 feet away, that is if you have the space in your living room to do so.

Don't over think it.....all the matters is the following:

1. Size of the area you going to put the tv
2. If you going to mount it on the wall or put it on a tv stand
3. Does your current tv stand support the weight of the tv you want to buy
4. The number of input jacks, some tv's come with a lot, some don't
5. How much you willing to spend.

If you want a plasma Knight in the 50" inch range you have 2 choices:

50"
58"

Plasma's don't come in 55".

[Knight165]

Thanks guys....appreciate the reply.

Yes bfj...I was looking at 50" originally and then started looking at 58". I was looking at some LCD's and they must have been 55".

Prices are much better than I thought they would be.
