And it certainly doesn't give much hope when you hear so much negativity. And while knowing that plasma is fine, been using one for 3,5 years. Plus i want 50 inch or bigger and i just checked on this website and the Samsung PS51D8000 (is this the one?) is around the 2000 euros, that's not affordable for me. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775&page=2#post-24607 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 16:55:10 +0000 ninjanutta 24607@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>My sammy 8000 led 3d has no ghosting,halos or responce time issues,thats what game mode is for,the black levels are as good as any plasma,its down to the model i think but my model compares to anything ive seen and even betters it,i play mt pc on it aswell and it handles pc gaming perfectly and responce times are essential for that,people need to talk about what they own,NOT what they read about. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775&page=2#post-24589 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 18:39:39 +0000 Moonwalker1982 24589@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Yeah and i've done alot of research and alot of people on forums tell me LED suffers from Halo's and cubes and what not, clouding and such. Too much problems.

I've been thinking about it for awhile but i'm pretty sure it's gonna be the Panasonic. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775&page=2#post-24585 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 15:59:02 +0000 DrDamn 24585@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>The price difference is pretty small all things considered - the Panasonic is likely a substantially better set - even though it's older. The Samsungs do have great design mind, and the VT20 is a veritable munter of a TV. Whilst picture quality is your major consideration the thing is going to take up a substantial amount of wall space so looking nice isn't a just a minor point. Samsungs I found had pretty shoddy quality when it came to the glasses - and just through the not very scientific means of looking at forum posts people seemed to have more problems with Samsung sets than any other manufacturer. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24582 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 15:21:01 +0000 Moonwalker1982 24582@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I'm not really buying the tv for 3D,it's just awesome that it happens to have it. My eyes for some reason can't fully see 3D. When i went to Avatar 3D, i just didn't see alotta things my friends did see. But ah well...anway, i'm kind of in a dilemma now...there's also this Samsung.</p> <p>The Samsung PS50C7700</p> <p>Also has 3D, ultra slim design and all that. Also the price is better. While the Panasonic is 1155, the Samsung is 1049. Quite a difference....i however can't find many reviews of the Samsung. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24545 Mon, 20 Jun 2011 10:42:07 +0000 DrDamn 24545@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Moonwalker1982<br /> VT20 was one of my considerations when I was buying last year. Certainly a great TV and the best 3D TV in terms of picture quality too. Particularly as you currently have plasma and are happy with that. Panasonic do make the best plasmas.</p> <p>Only minor downsides I saw were the Panasonic 3D glasses are a bit of a design over practicality cock-up - big holes to left and right can cause issues with side lighting. They weren't particularly comfortable either. You should be able to pick up 3rd party or updated Panasonic ones by now though. AVForums test also found issues with 50Hz content - you might want to check that. Again the overall review was very positive though. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24536 Sun, 19 Jun 2011 15:32:56 +0000 Moonwalker1982 24536@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Great sites people. But i've made up my mind. I'm not gonna go for that discount next week, cause they have alot of old models. And sure..there's the Panasonic G30, but its around the price of a VT20 (webshop) and that one has much newer technology and features(3D). So i'm just gonna take it easy, save up money and sell my current plasma..and go for this one.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/panasonic-tx-p50vt20b-tx-p50vt20-20100520694.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/panasonic-tx-p50vt20b-tx-p50vt20-20100520694.htm</a> </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24525 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 13:51:19 +0000 HeavenlyGamer 24525@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>This site has pretty good reviews.

Correct me if i'm wrong, don't they always have different model numbers for each country?</p> <p>Either way..</p> <p>I just went to the store and i'm pretty sure next week i'll have a new plasma. It's a Panasonic TX-P50U20E, now costs 800, will be 672 euros. Too bad i can't find any reviews though.

Basically..the bigger the inch, the more discount you get. I'm looking for 50 inch or larger, it means 16% discount, quite nice i'd say.</p> <p>I would love to go to this store with my 360 and try it out on a LED and plasma, but the problem is...this store is so busy for the next two weeks, i can't do that. On a website where it was about plasma and LCD/LED it said that LED provides a noticeable clearer picture while plasma have the better response time. I of course want the best picture quality available and maybe i won't even notice the response time problem on LED. But i AM kinda taking a risk, blindly buying a LED tv. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24520 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 17:10:41 +0000 KingCancer 24520@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Mitsubishi+-+Diamond+73%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+3D+DLP+HDTV/1228766.p?id=1218238310855&amp;skuId=1228766" rel="nofollow">http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Mitsubishi+-+Diamond+73%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+3D+DLP+HDTV/1228766.p?id=1218238310855&amp;skuId=1228766</a> dlp baby! </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24519 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 16:12:20 +0000 Christopher Jack 24519@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Moonwalker1982, I mean surroundings. They have drastically decreased the power usage but they still drain around twice as much as LCDs.<br /> @DrDamn, 100% agreed, I too prefer the more natural look of an LCD picture, every plasma I see in store has something off about it, whether it be artifacts or a bad coating. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24512 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 08:42:37 +0000 Moonwalker1982 24512@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@ Christopher Jack</p> <p>Well it used to be that plasmas used alot of power and thus cost alot of money every year but it's not like that anymore at all. What do you mean with the right setting, you mean settings on the tv itself? I used to fiddle alot with the settings and then i decided to reset everything back to default (movie setting) and i dont want it any different now.</p> <p>@ DrDamn</p> <p>Yeah at the end of the day it's my own opinion that matters. When the time is there, i'm probably gonna check out a LED tv in the store and also a plasma. Then i can make up my mind. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24510 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 07:14:18 +0000 DrDamn 24510@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>It really comes down to a personal preference. Take a look at the contenders with the same source material in a well set up shop if you can. Don't worry too much about motion flow and 600hz stuff for gaming as these processes introduce lag and will be turned off when you switch the tv to gaming mode. More recent LCD tvs are not so far behind plasma in terms of lag, and lots of people will not even notice the difference, but if you do then plasma is the better option.</p> <p>Personally I prefer the overall look of an LCD picture, but that's what I prefer, there are no hard and fast rules for these things. Look at reviews etc, but the most important opinion is your own. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24508 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 04:57:30 +0000 Christopher Jack 24508@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>It all goes down to personal perspective, I would always choose an LCD over a Plasma every time. If you are running your TV all the time, you're better off with an LCD, they're cheaper to run &amp; generally last longer. Because they're made of glass, glare is also a huge problem personally. There's no doubt that in the right setting, a good plasma model will be superior to a comparable LCD but these 'right settings' aren't easy to find. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24506 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 00:10:29 +0000 Len 24506@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Always used LCD and now LED tv's myself.

They are usually about 100Hz. Don't get it wrong though, 100HZ is still really good. 600HZ is a little overkill if you ask me. I just think LED TV's give unnatural colours due to the brightness, whereas Plasma's give better more natural colours with deeper blacks. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24502 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 19:52:57 +0000 mathare92 24502@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>If you're going Plasma, look no further than Panasonic.

Even though in the stores i keep saying LCDs and LEDs and to be quite honest i don't even know the real difference between the two.</p> <p>I'm gonna try to sell my samsung plasma, but seeing how brand new hd ready plasmas are only 400 to 600 euros now...i doubt i'll even get 300 for this one. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24498 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 18:28:19 +0000 Dr.Ghettoblaster 24498@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Another good resource of previous VG247 opinions on this very topic:<br /> <a href="http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4422" rel="nofollow">http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4422</a> </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24497 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 18:26:32 +0000 Hunam 24497@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I think LED LCD is just what everyone calls LED isn't it? </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24496 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 18:24:59 +0000 Moonwalker1982 24496@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>So LED LCD do have a similar response time to plasmas? Good to know that Panasonic also have 600hz technology. By the way, do you really notice that during gaming, the 600hz tech that is?</p> <p>As for LG, my friend who has that 60inch LG plasma...i don't hear any complaints from him and i must say..it looked goddamn awesome too :D.<br /> However...if its between a panasonic and LG..yeah i'll go Panny. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24495 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 18:08:48 +0000 Dralen 24495@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Plasma's are definitely better for gaming in my opinion. Their response time and contrast ratio, just blows standard LCD's out of the water (with the exception of LED LCD screens as they have similar contrast ratios). The only real downside to them is they don't last as long as LCD's do. But as long as you plan to replace your telly every 6 years minimum you should be fine. Panasonic usually do the best Plasmas. Panasonic also use 600Hz technology BTW. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4775#post-24494 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:57:42 +0000 ManuOtaku 24494@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Well i never buy LG anyway, they were the old GoldStar brand, i remember those on the VHS era and they were low quality and the SD TV as well, it was a bad brand then and i believe they are a bad brand now, fool me once is your fault fool me twice is mine.</p> <p>Well if your friend had problem with the Aquos well forget what i did said, nice thing when i purchase my LCD i went for a panasonic viera and not the aquos, it was cheaper </p>
