As far as best for the money...again I repeat, that Laser TV from mitsubishi - No bulb to replace! (yay! I hate bulbs and thats why I bought the Samsung LED DLP instead of Mitsubishis bulb one) - No color wheel - Best colors - can produce up to 90% of the colors a human eye can perceive (Twice that of best current HDTVs) - 1/4 of the power usage compared to plasmas. - no picture degredation or burn in until The TV dies etc I'f I had 5000 dollars I'd buy the 65 inch Laser TV in a heartbeat. But it is rather large so I see someone potentially being turned off if they need a smaller TV... As far as that 480hz Vizio I find it hard to believe that is a true 480 hz refresh pannel. 240 hz pannels just came out and were shown at CES 2010... Its probably reffereing to something else like the backlight refresh rate but not the pannel it self. If you ask me, as long as you have true 120 hz refresh rate, its much more important to have a fast screen response time rather than a higher refresh rate. Sure your picture may be slightly smoother with a 240 hz pannel, but you will still see crosstalk in 3D. 2 ms response time is the fastest these large LEDs have and thats still way too much for 3D. Plasmas are less and more acceptable for 3D IMO. (DLPs are even less) |
If they come out with a 55" or so laser under $3000 i'd be all over it, i've read the reviews. I'll do some googling to see if they have plans for one. The ultimate will be OLEDs, a 50" would be fine, but we are talking a couple more years, and who knows how much they will cost. Your right, the Vizio 480hz aren't true 480hz, they are using some back-light trickery, strobing, to simulate 480hz. But it could help with the LCD 3d ghosting problems. Ghosting happens because the LCD panels pixels are slow to change, as well as the shutter glasses speed, and their opaqueness when 'shuttered'. Well, what if the back-light is off when the ghosting is happening, and only turns on after the LCD and shutters have settled? You won't see the ghosting. It's still happening, but the back-light is off when it's ghosting. Also, since they are LED back-lit they can flicker completely on and off several times per frame, which tricks the brain into thinking it's smoother. But i'll have to wait for the reviews next month. It's got to be a good 2d tv also, or I won't buy.
