third hand grace Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 just bought this and will be hooking it up over the weekend. Anyone own one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I got a 42" LCD Viera I like the interface, and is real easy to use, and to set up....... I don't like plasmas too much as a gamer and a sports fan the "burn in" might be a problem down the road, and plasmas use more energy than LCD's or LEDs. The refresh rate is awesome on Plasmas, but hardly notice the difference on my LCD. I would have rather gone LED, but the LCD is all I could afford at the moment.. But as far as the Viera brand goes....... no qualms... very user friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I've been shopping for an LCD TV the past few months. Costco sells the Vieras at good prices and I did some research on them, and got mixed reviews. A few of the negative ones were complaining mainly about the HDMI inputs going bad after a short amount of time. The Vieras had plenty of good reviews, too.

If you are in the market for an LCD TV, check out the Samsungs. I have a 46" Samsung LCD and the picture is nothing short of amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Imo the Panasonics and the Samsungs are the best in plasma. I have the vieraand it is awesome. I've had mine for a year no issues. I do not play video games on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astromancer Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Plasma? Not very reliable, but if you manage to own one that doesn't get dangerously hot, or is not going to get screen burn-in, more power to you. I'm getting a large (don't know exactly how large, or what brand, but it's big bastard; I've seen the box it came in) LED TV for Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a large (don't know exactly how large, or what brand, but it's big bastard; I've seen the box it came in) LED TV for Christmas Most of those issues have been resolved especially with Panasonic Plasma's - I just bought the Viera g20 50" plasma - I bought it because it was half the price as an LED and a better picture in my opinion - the darks are crisp and sharper with the Infinite Black Panel - I did my research and the power consumption only adds a couple of dollars per year to run the plasma's and burn in is rarely a problem as long as you don't pause a video or game for 24 hours - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
third hand grace Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 I love the picture, after spending time watching it I think I made the right choice for me. I do not play video games, although wii will be hooked up for occasional times. I watch movies, and tons of football (for work). It has been great for me. Thanks for your responses.

ReflectedLight Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 i've been hearing stay away from the plasma's plus the lcd's are cheap right now so i'll be looking into one in a few months. probably a 37 or 40 because of the size of the room and distance i'll be watch it from.

thesweetscience Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 My old rear projection that was in my office just blew up last week so I went out and got the 46" viera. Now I own two. I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I did, and that is why I bought the Samsung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a 100" screen but do have a 73" Mitsu DLP that has an awesome picture. It fills your entire field of vision when sitting on the couch in front of it.

I've been selling and installing them for 10 years with my own company and find your comments a little specious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
