Anyone have any experience with the LG LED series? Thinking about getting one of those.

I use to own the LG LH90. What would you like to know fishpa?

After some serious thought, I am planning to go with either the Samsung LN55C630 or Sony Bravia KDL55EX500 LCD's. Both LCD's caught our eyes when looking around at various stores over the weekend. The LG 55LD520 55" LCD is coming in as a close third. The Samsung out of all 3 had the best picture from vivid colors. pop, and detail. If I can get one of these for $200-$300 less than the Sammy, I may go for it as CompUSA had the Sony for $1199, but the price has gone back up.

Are Samsungs the best for LCD's?

I picked up my 3D LED today, took it to our new house, and left it for the week

I did get to see it and play it a little more in the store and it was slick. Got to play with it for around 45 minutes or so, while they went through the warehouse, got my bluray player, glasses, misc etc. Talking to all of the salespeople, they actually all prefer the LG over the others that they have in the store. I actually opted today for the 55" over the 47" at the wife's encouragement. (This was of course after a shopping spree through Garden Ridge for some Home Decor, so she owed me lol)

I dont' have extensive experience with it, but it's one of the nicer looking 3D sets that I see out there, as well as a beautiful 2D pic too.

Sony and Samsung are 1a and 1b, IMO. Sony sets tend to be pricier.

True. I like Sony, but it is a personal preference. Both are good TV's.

We moved everything in our living room upstairs, including the 50" DLP and there is not a lot of space in the living room. I have been toying around the idea of selling my DLP (w/ a spare brand new bulb) and getting an LCD or Plasma. The plan by getting the LCD or Plasma is to free up a whole bunch of space by the DLP and stand its on. I was talking to a few people and they were telling me that newer Plasma's don't ghost anymore and burn-in isn't an issue being much better with still images. I see that I can get a 50" plasma (50" Samsung 1080p for $899 on sale) for much less than a 55" LCD (Samsung 1080p 120hz for $1499). We watch regular television shows, the news for about 45 minutes throughout the day (I worry about logos), my wife watches TV throughout the day, Blu-ray viewing, and I usually fire up the PS3 or 360 during the evening for about 1-2 hours depending on time. Because we have kids, I have to pause my gaming sometimes for 10-15 minutes if there is something I need attending to. Do they have screen savers on Plasma's? The living room has a bay window with a lot of light during the day. The way the TV is facing, the window is to the left of it. The room is lightly dim in the evening since we have a lamp for lighting until I can install new lighting above the ceiling. Do Plasma's still have to be broken in? I can't pull the trigger till early December and I might even wait till around early next year..........but what do you guys think of the two? I have smaller LCD's at home already and love them, but wouldn't mind the plasma if its cheaper and can do the same.

I just bought a new plasma screen tv as a early Christmas present for myself just 2 days ago 42"(Just in time for Black Ops FTW). I am quite pleased with the tv I bought. It's a Panasonic Viera. If I had of waited I would have got a 47 or 50 inch but, when I see something I want I don't want to wait. I can't tell you which one is best because, I don't have another flat screen besides the one in the living room.

Had to adjust the color to cinema to brighten it up but, other than that its crystal clear.

Nice, Ive got a 50" Panasonic Plasma and love it. This rising blacks issue was something I heard about going in but also figured that since Im not a videophile I wont even notice it in all likelihood. What model did you end up getting if you dont mind me asking?
