I've been looking around but there are so many choices. I do know I won't fuck with samsung smart TVs because they be breaking down on people.
Looking to spend no more than $1200 on a TV. Any suggestions?
- Thread starter Devilstrider
- Start date
saw a 60 inch vizio in costco for 1100 or 1200
How are their TVs. I remember when they first came out but I have never touched one.
What TVs do you BGOL cats own so I can get some real user experiences.
I have had 2 Vizio and the have had no problems and a great picture. But the Samsung still has the best picture.
btw tv's are going to be cheap right now because the new models will be rolling out about now
But those fuckers break. When I worked at best buy them shits were getting serviced left and right.
Man tvs are cheap as fuck right now. You can find a Samsung which to me the best tvs on the market, 55 inch for under 900 including tax.

Well had this thread popped up last week I had the deal of the century... but nonetheless, the best VALUE for amazing picture quality this year is hands down the Panasonic U50 series. Its the same panel as the higher end VT/GT series for a fraction of the cost. With the U50 you lose the "smart" features such as Netflix and 3D - the former of which you can get on any standard blu-ray nowadays. Last week, Frys had the 60" version for $699 but today its $1,299.. Amazon had it for $799 but it has gone up in price because inventories are damn near dead now.. Honestly, I think the ship has sailed on any good deals right now so you're paying retail up until late January of next year.
However, if you arent into any deals - spring for the high end Panasonic Plasmas you won't be disappointed.

I see this one is $1299.99

Yes sir... So the UT series will add 3D and Smart TV functions. But again, you're getting a 50" but that's still a great price on a Panny Plasma. Oh and btw, don't believe the people that insist you're plasma has to be in a dark room - I get's by and so do other people I know with Plasma's in well lit rooms. However, if glare bothers you I think you should know that the TV is reflective since Plasma's have a glass screen.
That's near top of the line and it includes an anit-glare filter or something to that effect.. GO here for a great review

I have a 50in LG plasma right now.
well you in the game then!
To be honest with you the ONLY complain I have about Plasma's is their tendency to buzz during high contrast scenes - but this is typical and my sound system drowns it out.
Ask Mousey.
Who told you this? Why would Panasonic's lowest-end plasma have the same panel as it's most expensive?
I just watched a review on CNET and they said the same thing.
The good: The affordable Panasonic TC-PST50 series exhibited outstanding overall picture quality, characterized by exceedingly deep black levels with great shadow detail, accurate colors, and solid bright-room performance. Unlike LCDs, as a plasma it has superb off-angle and uniformity characteristics. The styling is attractive and the feature set well-chosen, including excellent onscreen help options.
The bad: The ST50 uses more power than competing LCD TVs, and doesn't perform as well in bright rooms as those with matte screens. It doesn't come with 3D glasses, and it showed more crosstalk in 3D than some competing TVs. The ST50 is only available in 50-inch and larger sizes. Three HDMI inputs is one fewer than most midrange TVs offer.
The bottom line: With flagship-level picture quality for a midlevel price, the Panasonic ST50 series sets the value standard among videophile-grade TVs.

You're paying more for THX (better out the box picture), anti-glare(reflective), Smart apps and 3D. Since I don't care about any of those features the U50 was a no brainer. My only wish is that it was produced in a 65" model.
The U50 also only has two HDMI outputs, but if you've got a receiver that's not an issue.
I have a 5 yr old Vizio and never had a problem with it. Great TV.
OP get a Vizio. Get this one:
http://www.costco.com/VIZIO-65"-Class-1080p-120Hz-LED-HDTV-M650VSE.product.100008009.html
got one back in 02, it still works fine. when flat pannel was the craze
See I want a 60in because I have a 50in already.
The ST50 and up all have a Neo panel while the UT50 and U50 don't. You get alot more picture adjustments and better daylight viewing on the ST50 and above.
I bought a 73' Mitsubishi Diamond series bundle from Paul's TV for $1600. That TV looks excellent too...
They sold out of them bitches with the quickness.

I researched like hell and ended up getting an ST50 1 year and 1/2 ago. I highly recommend panasonic plasmas if you aren't doing heavy marathon gaming, sorta. I like my plasma for gaming because of the 600hz that plasma can provide, it gives me spur low lag in multiplayer games (in conjunction with a component connection). The image retention is annoying on some games but i just keep my contrast low to resolve this issue... As far as plasmas go, and most led's panasonic is the biggest bang for the buck if you ask me...
Oh yeah and BLACK is JET BLACK on my st50, unlike my cousins 8000 series samsung led!!!!!
