Your article was very informative. We are looking to buy a flat screen tomorrow . Again thanks for the info.
Thanks for a great article! Very helpful and appreciate your explanations and opinions.
I just came across this site while doing some research for a 46" HDTV and have to say find it to be very informative.
I am kind of leaning towards the Samsung LN46B610, 640 or 650. Our TV is usually on for about 8-9 hours/day so given this, how many years of useful life might I expect from the Samsung TV's, and concerning these particular models, are you ( or anyone else here) aware of any issues with them? Thanx.
This is a very well written and helpful article. I hope that is updated to reflect the current market and the fact that the HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray battle is over, the HDTV transition deadline has passed, etc.
I'm looking at the samsung PN58B540 plasma...it says it is HD ready? is this different than HD TV?
You state "there are no 120hz plasmas". No, becazuse most run at 600hz with some low end units running at 60hz.
I'd like to buy the Sharp Aquos LC37D44U but it is not available any longer (Canada). What is your opinion of the Panasonic TCL37X1, the Samsung LN37B530, and the Toshiba 37AV502R. I don't really need 1080p. Are 37" TVs becoming obsolete? Thank you.
Westinghouse The hd let go on my 37" tv now I have a 3" line on top and bottom
We are looking to change our living room TV, which one best you suggest which last 10 yrs. we seen in gudget show optomaH65 projector system. Do you think it is good system?
Nuno,
I hope it is something as simple as your projector bulb burning out. If not, you will probably need to call a repairman. Good luck.
Micky,
If you have an HDTV with an ATSC tuner, (for over a year, all new HDTVs sold in the U.S. should have this digital tuner), then you can capture an over the air HD signal with an antenna and play it back on your HDTV. You don't need any HDMI or Component cables for this. The antenna connects directly to the TV and feeds the signal to the ATSC tuner in the TV. It's basically the same way an old rabbit ears antenna would capture an analog broadcast signal out of the air and display it on your old-timer TV. In fact, for some people, that old rabbit ears works with their new HDTVs. Let me know if that answers your question.
Ihave mitsuvichi tv 62" yr2005 model wd62725 one day it when off no power or noise can you helpme.
You state ,"Please be forewarned. You cannot use the Composite video connections to transport your HD signal. On your TV, you must either attach to an HDMI input or the three Component (often labeled YpbPr) inputs."
Is this also true if you are receiving "over the air" hd broadcast from an antenna? And are there adapters for connecting an antenna to a hdmi input? Thanks for your help...
Tom,
I write in detail about this 120Hz video-look phenomenon in my review of the VIZIO SV420XVT. The simple solution for those that don't like how films playback at 120Hz is to turn off that feature when watching movies and turn it on when viewing sports. Or buy a plasma. I'm just finishing my CES 2009 report. Let me warn you that manufacturers are showing 240Hz LCDs and talking about 480Hz models in the near future. I can only hope that as this technology evolves, we will have more sophisticated ways to tweak it.
I am commenting on the whole 120 Hz hoopla. I've seen some demos at the local electronics stores and I think it looks like horrible. It looks so un-film like. It's like everything is video. Albeit very high resolution clear video but so cold, unreal and fake looking. It might be good for sports, but not for movies.
Let's hope technology doesn't start screwing up good film.
First, great site so far. It's nice to run into a site that actually has an interest in what they're writing about, and try to help you make an informed decision, not just trying to sell you something.
I don't see this yet...would you be able to create a rating system so you can organize the hdtv sets you've reviewed by their overall numeric value (objective or subjective values for look, picture quality, sound quality, available inputs, overall value vs price, etc...you name it)? That would allow people to sort by what they feel is the most important feature and see which TV comes closest to what they're looking for. Check out this site I found for Video Cameras, as an example of what I think would be a great addition to your site. It isn't my site, but I did find it very useful when shopping for my own video camera. http://www.camcorderinfo.com/ratings.php# feel free to contact me with questions
Thanks for putting your considerable knowledge and valued opinions out here for those of us who get so confused by the many choices that we fail to make any decision at all. As a former teacher,..., the best way to describe my "review of your review" is that it should be labeled "REQUIRED READING" for any and all perspective consumers! Good job,Dick!

Ed,
I have been hearing about wireless TVs for awhile and there have been a number of promising technologies that have begun to come to fruition. I think the big CES show in a couple of weeks might be the tipping point for wireless. I'll have a better idea of how far we have come after that. It's not a question of do they work. They do. But the different wireless systems are not compatible, so you need to make sure all of your components work together. There simply is no one standard system. I am as anxious as you are to rid my viewing room of wires, but I suggest that you wait, at least for a couple of more months. With that said, according to our database, Samsung just stopped shipping the FP-T5094W last month. I'm not familiar with this model, so I really can't comment on the wireless part of the system. And their literature on their website is not that informative. But it's a 50" plasma and if you can nab it for a great price, it might be worth it.
Dick: I need some of your thoughts on wireless tvs. I'm interested in buying a Samsung FP-T5094W. All the specs look good , however they no longer build them, and 2007 was when they came on the market. I don't like the idea of buying 2-3 yr old tvs. Comments please. Thank You
Darrell,
I plan on revisiting this article after I return from CES in January. But the simple answer to your question is nothing earth shaking on the technical side has changed. Therefore, if you are a non-discriminating viewer, a 720p HDTV should do you just fine, especially, if you watch broadcast TV, which is still only delivered at 720p or 1080i. 1080p TVs are heading towards being the norm, though I see sales figures that just put that resolution a tad ahead of 720p TVs, with the latter still holding a good bit of market share into 2010. Now, one of the changes with the 2008 Christmas season is that the price difference between 1080p and 720p TVs has narrowed. But the extra dollars for a 1080p can still be substantial in these economic times.
I notice that the article is dated Feb. 2008. Has there been any changes since that time that would cause you to recommend 1080p over 720p for non-descriminating viewers? Is 1080p soon to become norm?
Scott,
VIZIO does make the VP503, which is a 720p 50" plasma. It looks like they might only sell it in warehouse clubs like Sam's, BJ's and Costco. Panasonic makes the TH-50PX80U. And if you don't need a tuner in the set, you can probably find a good deal on one of Panasonic's monitors like the TH-50PH11UK. Though I must say that I just unpacked the VIZIO VP505XVT. On first blush, it looks great. What I am marveling at has little to do with resolution and more to do with picture quality. I also have the Samsung PN50A760 in for review and its feature package is amazing along with the picture quality. And last but not least, a Pioneer KURO arrived today. I'm in plasma heaven. I know I may not be helping, but there are simply a lot of good choices out there at different price points.
Lucy,
A check of our database reveals what you thought. There are no 50" LCDs. Though as you say, there are plenty of 46 or 47" and 52". Of course, since this dimension is the diagonal measurement of the screen, most 52" LCDs are only about 50" wide, left edge to right edge. If you are cost conscious, you will probably find a better deal on the 46 to 47" models over the 52". Also, I'm looking at a number of 50" plasmas right now and the quality is excellent.
Now this is what I call a very good article by a guy who knows what he's talking about. Very well done and very informative.
Finally an article that puts everything in perspective. When you go to the stores, you hear so much stuff that you don't know which to buy. Thanks for this incredible article!
The information that you provivded on Flat screen was very informative. After reading the general information it really help me in choosing a Flat screen. I didn't know the difference between a 720 and 1080 now when I return at the stores I will how much knowledge in talking to the sales person. Now when I talk to the sales person I will know what I am talking about and that will help him to understand what I am looking for. To be Frank the infromation you provided so much information that I want need to talk to a salesperson because I have the knowledge of knowing what I am looking to buy. All I will need to know from the salesperson is the cost and will there be a sale soon. I am much smarter today on flatscreen than ever.
Does anyone make a 50 LCD-- It seems LCD's jump from 46" to 52", Inbetween Sony and Samsung make a 50" Plasma
Dear Dick,
What a great article, and to boot entertaining and so very well written! You have a great writing voice, one that effortlessly switches between conversational and technical quite seamlessly. The fact that you enjoy your work shows in your prose style, and that makes for enjoyable reading. Your voice is informative yet accessible; technical but without becoming bogged down in minutiae. Yet what stands out the most is the conversational tone. I feel as though we are sitting around a TV, arms hanging over the back of the sofa, chatting. Now to the specifics of my research. I think you have convinced me to take a serious look at 720 sets. I have not yet to read "Pull Up a Chair" (what a great title!), but I think that, from what you say here, I will not be viewing from close enough to justify shelling additional $ for 1080. Viewing distance will be at least 6.5 feet (on the couch) to more than 12 (from the kitchen). At these distances, as you point out, 120hz and 1080 are not really adding much to the viewing experience. The space of wall I'm going to mount it is wide enough for a 50-inch set, so that's what I'm shopping for. Although I must confess to owning a loft, it is not minimalist but rather raw, and there is a conspicuous absence of "carefree young couples lounging." Specifically, the room is very bright, but the windows are not behind the TV but on the same plane, so no risk of reflection from behind. That said, I think I need a set with high brightness and high contrast. Initially I was ready to go for the VIZIO 505XVT, but now that I can get by with a 720, I have to start over as VIZIO does not have a 720 Plasma, any suggestions? Dick, thanks so much, you are a writer's writer. Keep up the outstanding work!! Scott
Thanks so much for writing this article, one of the best and most informative I have read!!
This site is very helpful! We are looking for a new TV and the choices make it difficult to choose. We have a large living area and our viewing distance is approximately 12-15 feet. What would your recommendation be?
Maureen,
I don't wish to confuse you any more, but if you are simply watching TV shows that consist of mostly dialogue then almost all of the TVs that I wrote about in the 37" LCD roundup should suffice. Where I find most of them lacking is in their ability to reproduce a rich full sound that you would expect from a musical performance or an action movie. I did like the audio performance of the LG almost as much as the Sony Bravia. But the Bravia was more expensive and if you are listening mainly to dialog rich programs, the sound difference may not be enough to pay the extra money. If you are looking for good quality audio at a good price, then VIZIOs may fit the bill. Which ever TV you decide on, here's a tip. Many of them have a "surround" feature that you can turn on in the TV's audio menu. I have found that activating it makes the dialogue harder to hear. Luckily, with most TVs that I have reviewed, this surround feature is off by default and you would have to intentionally turn it on, which you do not want to do. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks so much for your helpful articles!!! We are planning to buy a 32" or (hopefully) a 37" lcd. We are retired; not gamers, hardly even a movie..however, sound is very important to us. You highly rated the LG..does the Clear Voice really work? Is there another brand you would recommend with better audio? Thanks..and sign me "Confused"
Justin,
I'm reviewing the Mitsubishi WD-60735 right now and I do like it. You need to be careful judging picture quality in a store. I know it's really the only place that you can compare TVs, but depending on how they are set up, you might not being seeing them in their best light. The other point is that all TVs have a fairly wide brightness range. If you wanted the plasma to look as bright as the Mitsubishi, I imagine that you could go into the Picture Menu and tweak it to that brightness. With all that said, if you like the Mits better, then choose it. You're the one that will be watching it. I definitely like the size of screen for the price. Let us know what you decide.
I went into ultimate electronics and was looking at all three types. I always heard plasma's had the best color and 3d looking images. I looked at the Mitsubishi Diamond DLP and WOW the picture on them is brighter, more colorful, and crisper then those pioneer KURO plasma's. What gives?
thanks for this article. was not sure between a 720P and a 1080P, but my farthest distance will be about 13 feet and the closest will be 6.5. am going with the 720p. this was the one at the store that was the clearest of all, from seeing from just below (the set was on the upper level). all the others had blurry images when it came to lettering. thank you for helping me see that i am going to make the right choice. also, tho my living room is so small, i liked the idea it would put some heat into my house, it didn't seem to put out as much heat as the ones next to it, so the summer months won't be so bad either.
Jose,
Color brightness can be adjusted on every TV set, plasmas and LCDs. Though unless you place the TV in a very well-lit room, you will probably want to turn down the brightness from vivid levels that are typical on the showroom floor. Contrast levels at the numbers that we are seeing now are becoming beyond visible. That is most people will not be able to perceive the difference between 15,000:1 contrast and 35,000:1. And definitely, when the TVs start hitting 100,000:1 and 1,000,000:1, these numbers are basically theoretical mathematical calculations. A Blu-ray DVD on a plasma 720p will look great. You can set the Blu-ray player to output 720p and if you are sitting more than six or seven feet away, you will not be able to see the difference in resolution from a 1080p TV. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
Ofer,
If your TV gets too hot that it shuts down, something is wrong. I know that where I live that the outside temperature can get very hot. And if you don't have the TV well ventilated, it can over heat. Also, if you have it in a cabinet with no air circulating around it, that could be a cause of over heating. If that is not the problem, then the TV needs to be looked at by a repairman.
I have been trying to purchase a HDTV for almost 6 months and everytime I go to a store I end up leaving without a clear decision. Here are my questions: 1 - The color brightness , with a few exceptions, looks darker on a plasma? Can this be adjusted at home? 2 - Is a plasma with a high contrast ration better than LCD? 2 - How good is a Blu-ray picture on a plasma 720p?
DEAAR SIRS I BUY 42 2 HD PLASMAA I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM THE TV IS VERY HOT AFTER 1 HOUUR ITS SHOOT DOWN I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
P
Tim,
Plasmas manufactured in the last couple of years are much less susceptible to burn-in to the point that it has become almost a non-issue. I won't guarantee no burn-in, especially if you leave your game paused for thirty minutes. But many plasmas have anti-burn-in features. About the heat, plasmas do consume a lot of power and therefore generate heat. Though, again the newer plasmas have cut down considerably on power consumption. They can get warm, but not too hot to touch, which would be a safety issue. I like plasmas and if you value deep black levels, plasmas are still the best bet.
I am confussed a little, I like to game alot Xbox 360 and PS3, Is it safe Now to game on a plasma? and or is lcd a better choice for games? In regards to burn in.. Ohh one more question... Is it true that plasma tv's get get Extremly hot? and can almost burn you by touching the back of Tv?
Thanks.
Paul,
I don't know about 220K filters. But then again, I haven't found that HDTVs in the stores are clearer, especially if you are comparing similar content. For example, when I go into a big box store and look at live broadcast TV, it often looks worse than what the same broadcast would look like at home. Now if you are comparing a playback of a Blu-ray disc in the store to a regular DVD at home, then the store could easily look better. Also stores have a tendency to set up their TVs to be overly vivid and sharp, that may be what you are seeing. Am I hitting any possibilities? Dick De Jong Editor, HDTV Solutions
I have more of a question than a comment. Why are the HDTV's much more clear in the stores and not so much at home? I've heard the stores use filters (like 220k), but I can't find that info on the net.
Kevin,
I plan on updating this guide, so if you have any suggestions, let me know. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this information. I appreciate your "lack of B.S." approach. This article completely substantiates what I already thought, and it did so without the technical jargon...buy what you think looks best to you.
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS Y NO ONE WON'T TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT 1080i .I HAVE WORKED FOR DIRECT TV FOR ABOUT A YEAR 720P IS BEING PUSHED THOW THE CPU IN THE BOX TO GET 1080. FROM TESTING & WORKIG ON THIS YOU WILL ONLY SEE TRUE 1080i FROM TIME TO TIME . WHERE? HUmmmmmm. FOOD NET WORK/NASH CAR /DISCOVERY/PET/MAY BE 10 MORE I DO VIDEO WORK .SO THEY NEED TO STOP SELLING LIES. THANKS FOR THE PAGE SO PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND HD.
Tim,
I'm partial to plasmas. I also like a good deal. If you can find a good deal on a plasma, even better. Let us know what you decide.
A great article! Even better than Cnet. You answered all my questions. I'm buying a HDTV within two days. I was set on 1080p, until I saw how natural looking the colors were on a 50" plasma at 720p. I'm tore between a 46" LCD or the 50" plasma.
finally a clear and complete explanation of what i needed to know when shopping . I will continue to explore and reference back to you. The companies do disservice for comparison making the list of feature variable, One has ratios prominent and the next will refer to contrast.
thanks for the info
What about gaming? Do you still have to stay away from Plasma if an XBox 360 is used frequently?
I prefer the look of Plasma, but am concerned about screen burn. Should I stick to LCD?
Thanks for the help! This finally cleared some things up for me. It is so hard to buy an HDTV at the Big Box when those guys don't know what they are talking about and all they refer to is contrast ratios etc. Thank You!
Thank you for information on hdtv's.Well done,very informative. I bought a 42 inch plasma 720p but my daughter suggested I bring it back and get a 1080p.In your article the 1080p is much clearer. I know I will have to pay more because this one was on special. I'll have to decide in the next couple of days.
Thank you
