*** THE OFFICIAL HOME THEATER & AUDIO THREAD**

[RapToR]

plasmas are passe ... lcds won that fight a couple years ago.
they consume too much energy and put out too much heat. image looked very good tho. but newer lcds can rival even the best plasma today.

In light of the upcoming World Cup, im looking for a good LCD/LED TV... Somewhere in the 50-60" sizes would be nice... Any suggestions and average of prices would be much appreciated.

And also... looking for a good surround sound system for my 15x15' room. What you guys think???

[ru$$ell]

^depends on your budget. You may want to check out Samsung LED TV line with 3d vision.

Recently bought the Samsung 50" plasma from price-smart for $7500, and it is 3d ready.
Have it coupled with the nvidia 3dvision kit and the 3d effects is mind blowing, stuff hover like 3 feet out of the tv.
The picture quality is superb and being a hardcore gamer, the tv handles the long hours of gaming very well.

what model is this TV?
Also you said you ALREADY have the nVidia kit on it?
what do you use to play the games on the TV? A game console or a PC?

the model is pn50b450, i use a pc and xbox 360 console to play games on it but since the Xbox 360 is not 3d compliant as yet (the ps3 which will be soon), only games played on the pc will be in 3d with the nvidia kit.

The tv has a port on the back where you can plug the nvidia 3d emitter directly into it to process infrared 3d signals to the nvidia 3d shutter glass which activates when a 3d movie or game is played on the pc.
