Looking for a tv?

[Matt255]

I am looking for a tv around 40 - 42 inches to use in my home theater. I would prefer to be plasma but i also want it to have really low input lag because i would play games on it as well. Do you guys have any suggestion?

Plasma is pretty much banned now.

if you are willing to pay ~1000$ then you can get a 42" plasma TV, they are rare atm

For 600 you can get like 50inch + 1080p I THINK, not sure.

This is what I have and it works like a charm.

Dont bother with Plasma. The last good plasma was the recently discontinued F8500 (i just picked up a 60" for $2500. Miraculously found one hiding in a local bestbuy).

 

Any plasma you can get now wont give you the usual plasma benefits over led, but will have all of the drawbacks of plasma.

 

I would 1000000% recomend Vizio's E series, and with your budget you could pick up a home theater as well.

 

I owned a Vizio 60" (among about 10 other tvs) for a month before I found my f8500. And in that month of comparisons, the vizio was my favorite TV.

TBH, it sucks cuz the box and marketing isnt as exciting as the big brands, but the tech is solid cuz they put that marketing money into the r and d!

 

If you want the best!!!!

you still want a plasma, but pretty much only if you can get

Panasonics: st-60, vt-60, zt-60 (doubtful, they have been disconitnued for 2 years now)

Samsung: F8500 (just discontinued, you may get lucky)

 

Hth

i was deciding between these two http://www.rtings.com/reviews/tv/lcd-led/samsung/h5203 or http://www.rtings.com/reviews/tv/lcd-led/vizio/e-series but i am leaning towards the samsung as it seems the vizio smart features suck
