Would you choose a 40′ Samsung 60 hz LCD or a 42′ Philips 120 hz lcd?

Question by richard: Would you choose a 40′ Samsung 60 hz LCD or a 42′ Philips 120 hz lcd?
I’m confused on which to buy. I don’t know if I should go with the better brand with not as good specs or a not as popular brand with better specs. The reason being is I heard that LCD TV’s can be blurry when watching sports but the 120hz is supposed to fix it but I didn’t know if a samsung with 60hz would be more clear or not. Thanks in advance

Best answer:

Answer by RICH
I would go for the Samsung 60 hz. I looked into the 60 and 120 cycle sets…and could see little to no difference at a viewing distance. In fact, I thought it made DVD movies look WORSE in 120 cycle mode. Save the money and go with Samsung. The 120 does not fix the inherent ‘blurr’ of LCD..Plasma will fix any blurr problems, as it has a very fast response time.

How much would it cost to repair a 42 in 1080p LCD tv?

Question by ArmyWife: How much would it cost to repair a 42 in 1080p LCD tv?
A friend of mine gave me a TV and I want to get it fixed. It turned on but then immediately turned off. There is power running through it but now it just wont turn on. We replaced a fuse in it and my husband said it blew the fuse. So, I am going to take it to get fixed I just need to know an estimate of how much it will cost. Any info would help. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Frank
Really depends on where you are and who you talk to … if it’s just a blown fuse than the most expensive bill may be time / labor. I would guestimate something in the neighborhood of $ 60 USD ??? ask around – mention you’ve repaired it once before but your husband is deployed – hopefully get a sympathetic ear and inexpensive estimate.

BTW, if it is a repeat issue than the problem may be a faulty power supply, that would cost more in Time / Material / Labor but yield long lasting results.

Good luck

Would the PS3 look great in a 32 inch LCD HDTV with a resolution of 720p?

Question by Javier E. M: Would the PS3 look great in a 32 inch LCD HDTV with a resolution of 720p?
The reason I’m asking this, is because I’m going to get a 32 inch LCD HDTV, with a resolution of 720p, which is a Panasonic Viera. Is 720p, considered to be HD? Or, does it only apply to 1080p? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Umair
720p is HD
it will look good if you connect using HDMI
i had mines hooked up to 32 inch samsung LCD it looked good
see if you can find a plasma since they are better for gaming due to faster refresh rate

Would a 40″ 1080p Sony Bravia LCD HDTV (Model number: KDL40V4100) be good for gaming? Specifically Halo 3 on xbox 360? I’m really into this game but am interested in purchasing this tv. Would the lag of such a big tv/the size itself hurt my gameplay much?

Would a 720p LED TV have a better picture than a 1080p LCD TV?

Question by y2kbug77: Would a 720p LED TV have a better picture than a 1080p LCD TV?
I’m looking to get a TV for college and I’m going for either a 26 or 32 inch. I know there are alot of new technologies in LED TVs and I was wondering if these technologies would give the LED an advantage over an LCD TV that is 1080p compared to the LEDs lower resolution of 720p.

Best answer:

Answer by Louis
any tv smaller than 42″ you can’t tell the difference between 720 and 1080. So get the LED because of the better technology behind it. (Low energy, deeper blacks, higher visual quality)

Would a Samsung 32″ LCD 1080p 120 hertz be fine for the PS3?

Question by Carmine: Would a Samsung 32″ LCD 1080p 120 hertz be fine for the PS3?
I need to upgrade on a T.V very badly, The one in my house dates back to 1994, I’m buying the PS3 and the T.V system, I just need advice from you gamers if a 32″ would be alright. Someone said 40″ but i just want something simple but at the same time get the best quality of the game.

Best answer:

Answer by Answering Troll
Yes it should, but at the moment many games may not reach the maximum limit of 1080p/i 120Hz.

They usually run 720p 60Hz, basically the TV would have enough room for the PS3 games to upgrade to such refresh rates.

So, if you DECIDE to get the 120Hz TV, you shouldn’t have to worry about going 60Hz to 120Hz.

Also check out the Sony Bravia’s/ XDR series, those should also be 120Hz
