I have put 4 of those Samsung TV's in friends houses, and they are stellar, never seen any of the 'Halo' effect we heard of. We actually paid to have the setting done by a pro on one of them, and it was worth the $300 he charged. They have come so far down in price, buy the LED now, and by the time the new 3d prices become reasonable you can toss your LED into the bedroom! You can expect a minimum of 5yrs until the 3d becomes the norm. I bought my first CRT based HD TV in 1999, then my first Plasma (don't want to say how much I paid) from the Enron we-screwed-all-the-shareholder-counterparties-and-employees auction in early 2002. It has taken some time.
Buy new TV now or wait for 3D technology?
I saw an article on Yahoo today that announced Sony unveiled a new 3-Dimensional LCD TV at an electronics convention in Germany. Didn't give a release date or price though.
I'm buying a new TV in the next year and have been looking into the new Samsung LED's. I've read about the complaints of the glow effect around the frame in dark movie scenes though. Does anyone have one? Would you recommend it?
There are some nice plasmas for good prices but those are on their way out. Would you buy a plasma now if the technology is being discontinued?
I've read articles that 3D technology would require a different HDMI standard which would mean you would have to buy a new receiver, TV, Blue-ray player etc. to handle the new cables.
I don't want to buy a TV and have it obsolete the next year. What do you think? Will you be waiting for 3D before you buy your next TV?
