Had a bit of time to kill between appointments whilst in town yesterday so went for a wander around Harvey Norman's TV department. It was rather overwhelming as they have at least three times as many TVs as the local mall's shops. To me the picture looked pretty similar on them all so I got to wondering just how people chose what TV to get. That says you were having a wander,no mention of buying! |

Dont allow them to play you a cartoon movie like Nemo its a cheap trick. Take your own media in to play. Also you cant assume they have set any TV and some factory default settings look better than others so you may have to have a play yourself with the top contenders. Plenty of reviews online so get the model numbers of the ones in your price range, go home and google. |

| 862092 | 2010-03-21 00:46:00 | Ok, I've been back into the shops. :eek: How much weighting would you give a 100Hz over a 50Hz screen? I'm not really into fast action sports, so is the difference worthwhile/noticeable/good to have for future proofing? I'm basically looking at either a 37" or 40" full HD LCD TV. I've gone away from the LED because they are only edge-lid (not backlit or coloured LEDs), so apart from the power saving (or thinness) I can't see any advantage at this stage. |

| 862093 | 2010-03-21 01:17:00 | definitely go for the 100HZ, they have been out a while and will be passed by 200HZ. 50HZ is too old now. I'm sure NZ is a dumping ground for old stock | plod (107) | ||
| 862094 | 2010-03-21 01:24:00 | I took the advice of a mate in the business (this link (pressf1.co.nz) - post #3) who advised me to go for the Panasonic Plasma. Haven't regretted it. Phil went to the launch of the Samsung LEDs and came away still firmly convinced to stay with Panasonic. He has three 50 inch plasmas in his shop for demo-ing his audio-visual products/services. If there was something better, he would have bought that for the shop. Why demo your (high-end) product/service on inferior machines.... He also has a Panasonic plasma at home... (He is not a Panasonic agent BTW) |

It only makes sense to settle for 50 Hz if you are on a very tight budget. However to be fair, most people would not notice the limitations of 50 Hz; many times in shops I compared 50 Hz with 100 and 200 Hz as well as plasma screens and could not tell any difference except for the credits (text) at the end of a film, and sometimes when the camera panned across a scene. 9 out of 10 times I can pick out the LCD's from the plasma's from the other end of a shop. LCD's - to me - appear more vivid, clear, whereas plasma's look washed out and grayish. But if you have a plasma as the only screen in a room, such as at home, it will look great because there is nothing to compare it to. The main disadvantage with plasma's is the reflection from windows and lights in the viewing room; some people don't mind but for me it would be irritating. |
