well for all the techies out there..i have a budget of about 1500 and am looking for a TV ..i want around 55" or bigger screen preferably LED and smart, not fussed if its 3d but a bonus if it is .....not sure what brand to go for, always had Sony or Panasonic in the past and have been happy with both....

 

Samsung look very nice and Toshiba are good looking as well..........any ideas ?

 

cheers

Samsung are the kings of LED technology... Panasonic are better for Plasma.... Toshiba not so cleaver, foggy pictures in comparison...

Thanks Jon

 

have some rep for being the only one bothering to answer, i have looked at the Samsung and they do seem a lot better picture wise,

 

cheers

I have a samsung plasma and its great, my mates have the samsung framless tvs and they are great, there is an advert for a new samsung smart tv which also looks amazing, works like a wii does with hand movements for controlls

I recently got a Samsung LED TV and its ace. Just highlights the massive difference between normal HD and full HD LED.

 

My old man recently got an LG one and he's really happy with it...

It's always worth checking to see what Richer Sounds have on offer, although obviously the latest greatest stuff won't have much of a discount.

Just don't watch womens beach volley ball mate. The volume would be constantly going up and down! :lol:

I bought an LG one a few years ago, havent really got anything to compare it against but im happy with it and it seems good overall.

 

I dont know how true this is but i heard that people always think Sony is the best because of their rep, but Samsung make the parts for Sony so im guessing Samsung is better?

 

For the best quality overall id choose either Panasonic (if i had a well paid job) or Samsung. I only got the LG one as it was more then half price because it had a scuff on the side.

panasonic have been crap since the original vieara, im not sure they are even panasonic anymore, as for sony, they are really good tv's and although they are made in the same place they have different components (or so ive heard) and did you know that sony flopped in japan as the japanese think that sony have a device in their products that make them go off after a certain time

 

the sony erricson xperia x10 was the first sony product that actually did well in japan for a long time (again only what i was told)

 

but after a lot of searching about and asking on here i went from wanting a 46" led sony tv to actually buying a 51" samsung 3d full hd plasma tv and love it

thanks Alan,

 

i have done some general research as 1500 quid is a lot to splash out on a TV and its the Samsung that is getting the best customer reviews, for product and after sales service ....

 

roll on October the 8th when i get back home
