Samsung 3D tv: Do i want the Plasma or the LED?
1503807
I believe the LED technology is better and more reliable for long term use. As Plasma had its issues when it first came on the market with leaving the nbc or whatever channel you watched the most logo I just dont trust the technology. LED 240 has an awesome picture!!! I have the 55" but I have not watched a 3D movie the 2D is so awesome. Hope this helps!

The plasma is better is every aspect. The only reason you would go with LED would be to save a couple bucks on energy costs.

copy and paste this link in your browser and it will come up with a Samsung remote that will replace the POSSamsung 3D TV Universal Remote Control (For use on all Samsung 3DTV's - PLASMA, LCD & LED)

Sorry - I do not know - are you using a CRT or Plasma? I would think LED / LCD would be relatively fine at close proximity. - good luck!

My display is perfect. I keep my computer on almost 24/7. But I can't say if it's Samsung. It's surely LED.

The only thing you'll gain with the Plasma is better viewing angles - and much higher electric bills. This DLP gives noticeably better blacks than that Samsung plasma This DLP gives a noticeably bigger picture This DLP gives comparable color, sharpness and overall PQ as the Plasma This DLP is cheaper to buy and much cheaper to run. This DLP displays a brighter picture. - You already have a great TV, so stop stressing. The absolute only logical reasons to get the plasma is if you intend to throw huge Wii gaming parties or if you're running a bar requiring the viewing angle advantage. Or if you need to wall mount. Otherwise stick with and enjoy this DLP. The only plasmas worth consideration over this 67a750 is the Pioneer 6020/elite and 'possibly' the Panasonic 58" 800/850u. Other plasmas aren't worth comparing to this DLP.

I am not sure how helpful this reply is, but I am in the process of upgrading an existing TV and spent about half an hour just looking at the 55" and up TV's at Best Buy yesterday for about half an hour. I watched about 8 different sets which included both Plasma (Samsung & Panasonic) along with LED edge-lit tv's from Samsung, LG, Sharp and Sony. I have to say that I only saw this on one TV and that was a Sharp 60" set. This set was set to ultra-torch mode and looked pretty crappy in general. I attributed the issue to the settings being cranked too high. I can't guarentee you that the problem would completely disappear with either a DIY adjustment or with professional calibration but I am sure it would be much, much less noticeable. My guess is that the lower end Sharp sets are going to be a little more tempermental and need more adjustments and tradeoffs. I would really like to see one of these sets in a real world set up and adjusted properly (I want a 60" TV with a smaller bexel due to space restrictions (Panny 60" ST30 is just a little too big). I really did like the looks of the LG 55LW5600. I have plasma right now and like it, but I am not convinced the blacks really are that good despite what David K. says on CNET. Some of the edge-lit LED sets do have decent black levels and detail in darker scenes. Maybe not as good as the Panny's, but they are so much brighter (will be used in a well-lit living room) and whites are white and not gray!

if money was no object....i would buy the elite....its bigger (70 inch i believe)....its the only LED ive seen to best a plasma, BUT with a price of almost 8 g's id def rather have the VT, and definitely if the VT beats last years model. so basically the elite is nicer, BUT id rather spend more money on the vt and get a bad ass surround sound :)

actually it is very nice...deep blacks and white whites....Samsung responded by giving the new LED based sets all 10,000:1 contrast ratio, LED DLPs are the way to go as its better technology all around with faster startup times, more natural colors, and excellent bulb life!

Led at 64 " samsung 8000 will consume 10.00 less a year. Having a. Plasma is worth the cost. My killowatt meter measures about 275 watts

I agree with Gina. I did extensive research back in 1/07 about the DLP bulb vs DLP LED. I went with the LED since Samsung claimed it would last 20,000 hrs vs 3,000 with the Lamp. So, as a result, I did not get the best buy extended warranty b/c they said this thing was good for a lifetime. There is no bulb to replace so I went with the LED. BTW-it's the Samsung 56" DLP w/LED. Just yesterday, this thing died! I calculated at most I've used this TV for 2000 hrs and it's a goner. The LED engine costs $800 to replace...now what kind of benefit is that? At least the DLP lamp version allows you to replace the bulb for about $150. This is ridiculous and unless they do something for me to fix this, I will never buy a samsung again. STAY AWAY!

That's good to know Bridger. I have this one (Samsung plasma PN50B450) as well and the manual states that brightness and contrast should be reduced to prevent burn in while play video games. Also appreciate the first hundred hour rule-mixing tv with games.Thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is my kids walking away from a video game and a screen just sitting there. But hey, for the price you could buy another one and not spend what you can for a 1080p lcd 52 inch. I know that defeats the purpose but isn't that why you would be interesed in this tv anyways? for the price?

If your plasma tv has 3d capability yes. If your tv doesn't have the ability for you to switch from 2d to 3d then no.

Go to www.avsforum.com. Samsung leds are all edge lit and they all have really bad uniformity problems. Only the b8500 and a950 have local dimming.

Hi,I ended up going with the LG 50PX950 plasma, this is my first plasma and so far I really like it.I haven't been able to try the 3d yet, as my glasses were on back order and finally shipped yesterday.Like I previously mentioned, I really did like this TV except for the ghosting issues.

There is no comparison with the Panasonic plasmas unless you move up to a VERY expensive LED. These are bargains. If you want to step up slightly in picture quality from the Panasonic S60, look at the Panasonic ST60 series. Those have a shade darker blacks and a less reflective screen. Check the CNET reviews if you have any doubt as they are well known for their reviews.
