I'm trying to stimulate the economy and the mind!

Looking to buy an LCD TV for work. It's purpose is to view HI-RES frames that are rendered in Adobe After Effects, Maya, or Silhouette.

Attention to detail is a must, so quality of the picture over anything else. Must be 1920x1080, and 32"-40" is ideal.

My price max is $1200.

I know I've seen panic lcd threads here in the past, but it's been a while and new stuff has hit.

Thanks d00dz

 

Samsung always has my vote.

 

I got my 46" Sharp Aquos 1080p 120hz 1920x1020 for $1,140 a month ago

if you get a non 120hz model, you'll save a couple hundred bucks.

check slick deals for good prices

 

the 3 I would look at are sharp, samsung, and toshiba all make a great tv

 

Buy from Costco!

You have to be a member (or know someone who has membership & would go w/ you ) & they have limited selections... BUT their 2 year warranty is FTW!!! Even manufacture warranty is usually only 1 year. Plus, they also have excellent return policy w/ NO stocking fee & NO question asked.

 

Right on, I'll take a peep.

I got myself a 46" Samsung 1080p from WorstBuy a few months ago for $1400. Only complaint is I never have any time to watch it

I like Sammys def. How does Sharp compare to Samsung IYO

 

Make sure to talk to some people who know their stuff (I know someone who has been working for Magnavox for the past 5 years).

What you probably want is REALLY GOOD DARKS. I hope you understand why =P I dont have time to explain because i have to go to work, but if you invest in a TV, get one that has GREAT DARKS.

 

I thought they only do a 90 day return now, cuz all those *** that buy TVs before the super-bowl then return em the day after. No joke, I was in there the DASB and there were atleast 25 40"+ TV's for return..

 

we need joltdude

 

I get what you're saying. I do know that LCD sometimes have a white to black problem (in a movie say the scene goes from really light to dark) where the blacks are lighter because the LCD hasn't flushed each crystal fast enough.

I don't think I'm too concerned about darks, as we're going to be viewing frame by frame not crazy fast light to dark scenes... but I hear ya- good lookin out.

mainly concerned about RGB colors, I hear some of the LCD's bleed reds which would be horrible.

 

 

FWIBH Sony is the way to go for LCD tv. Less macroblocking then the sammys. I personally have an older 46LNT61 and I love it. I don't use the 120mhz mode and never had needed to.

 

Yes, where is this... Mr. Nice Guy

 

Most other stores would only give 30 days return policy PLUS 10-15% restocking fee!

2 year warranty is in case your TV is defect product then they'll fix it. My LCD TV's power board (or something) was busted right after 1 year. I brought it to TV repair shop & got quote for $368! Then, my wife remembered Costco's 2 year warranty. Called them up & they even offered to have it delivered to repair shop. They didn't know I already sent the TV to the shop & I found out THAT particular shop is qualified Costco's repair shop. I got the TV fixed for FREE!

The problem w/ lots of today's consumer products is they'll be busted RIGHT AFTER manufacture warranty expired... like they put some kind of timer.

 

thats burl you got your tv fixed fo free.

I agree with the whole busting after the warranty is up.. Seems like the companys are like "well ya shee it works here for a year, lets sell it and cover it for a year... STAT" low n behold a little after the year is up, something over heats causing this and that, and POW u have a paper w8.

I really hate investing in the first go-around electronics batch of anything new.
I know a lot of people in retails and they say the first batch of any electronic is usually ****.
Sucks how big companies can't fully test their product, and rely on consumers to test how it really operates.
Any who.. about them LCD's ...
