^^ But the sharp 4K smart led is only 3000US
That's pretty good considering when plasma just came out my old man got a 42inch Panasonic 720p plasma at courts for 20k [FLUSHED FACE]

I agree. But since he was tempted to get the sharp 1080p LED, might as well go 4K in the same brand/line?

On another note, isn't plasma being phased out? I was considering a large plasma at a pretty good price but was discouraged after reading that somewhere.

Manufacturers are phasing it out only because LED is cheaper to produce. But plasma picture quality is considerably better. OLED is better than plasma but it is VERY expensive.

*Pulls cobwebs from cave* Wait, it actually have OLED big screens (larger than 40") ?????
hock:

*Rubs eyes* Plasma still on the market?

Really asking here, I don't keep up with these things.

[scotty_buttons]

^^ yup. Saw a OLED 1080p 55inch LG I think for around 3000us too. I rather that than a similarly priced and sized 4K TV.
LG gonna come out with 65inch 4K OLED TV soon apparently. That would be amazeballs. Priced to suit too!

There are some manufacturing issues last time I checked with OLED TVs. Hopefully temporary.

Dear God....... jebus

[Premchand1976]

Heard from best buy that the 8k Samsung is already manufactured and they just waiting to launch. Don't want to launch too soon after the launch of 4 tv ' s.

[scotty_buttons]

Samsung just overdoing it now. Just like they do with their phones. 8K can't be fully appreciated unless the screen is ridiculously huge or you sit rather close to your TV.

Take for instance this diagram. Most ppl sit at least 10 feet from their TVs. You won't appreciate the difference in 4K unless the screen is at least 75inches.
Imagine for an 8K TV!!!

Best picture quality TVs of 2014
1st place is a 55" OLED by LG and 2nd place is a 64" Plasma by Samsung

http://www.cnet.com/topics/tvs/best-tvs ... e-quality/

LG 55" OLED
http://www.cnet.com/products/lg-55ec9300/
eBay has it for US$3250

LED TV's are actually LCD with LED backlights instead of cffl bulbs.
The problem with LCD is that the picture does not produce light and needs to be lit from the back or sides. Light bleeds all over the place and so they need to use local dimming, which does not always produce the best black levels.
In a plasma panel, each sub pixel is like a neon light with plasma gas in it, so there is almost no light bleeding. Black levels are deep and contrast ratios are considerably better on plasma.
OLED is similar to plasma in that each pixel is individually lit, not just an LCD with backlighting like a regular LED TV.

OLED and plasma have similar deep black levels (much craved by those after great picture quality), but OLED can get a lot brighter without light bleeding into nearby pixels.
OLED beats plasma in energy efficiency and lower heat too.

The only thing plasma had on OLED is size and price and we can see that changing fast!

What do you disagree with? LED>LCD?

I thought LCD was the display and LED, the back light... I'm not up to date on the TV tech...aren't all non plasma TV's... LCD ?

meh... nevermind... didn't read page 2... carry on...

[sMASH]

LED means light emitting diode... Just like the lights that used to be on them equalizer.
LCD means liquid crystal display.... Just like what used to be in those watches back in the same day.when it dark and u needed to see the time, u needed to press the light button.


So, LCD needs a light either backlight or side light.
LED not really.

But some LCD uses LED lighting.


OLED means organic light emitting diode. Its a different technology from normal LED the first time u would have seen that used would be 12 years ago or more. After pioneer stopped using LCD in their displays in the higher end decks. U started to see color displays without backlight .

a good source just told me that Pricesmart will have a Quasar 55" 4K LED TV for TT$6500 tomorrow alone as part of their Black Friday sale. Available at all branches, Movietowne, Mausica, Price Plaza and La Romaine.

check this quick review on the Samsung UNH7150 lineup. The review will be for all sizes including the 65" model you asked about since all sizes in the same model mostly carry the same features and panel quality.
http://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-un60h7150/

the specs say it is edge lit - I'd try to get a TV that is backlit with local dimming if you are going LED. If you are going plasma then you don't need to worry about that since plasmas don't suffer from lighting issues like LEDs do.

Yikes, I'll have to remember to avoid there tomorrow.

no that's not right.

LED is LCD just with an LED backlight instead of the CFFL (fluorescent) bulbs that usually used in LCD TVs

OLED emits its own light.

Plasma emits its own light too.

Duane, PS has a 50" Seiki 4K tv for $4200 on their website. I don't know if that's an error.
