LED or LCD

[desert fox]

depende yan sa quality ng glass panel. pero my samsung plasma has no picture degradation whatever the viewing angle.
biggest downside ng plasma now is the power consumption compared to LCD/LED.
pero picture quality wise, winner ang plasma.

ganun ba, kasi nung tumitingin ako, yung Plasma, tumayo ako sa gilid, wala ako makita....e samsung din yun....

Then there's plasma too. Plasma has excellent contrast ratio. May nakita akong Samsung Series 4 Plasma na 43"... around 35-36k. 720P nga lang. Mura na ba yun?

if you're going plasma, get no smaller than 50inches. at this size malaki kamahalan ng same size LCDs.

I guess depende talaga sa model. 2011 model samsung ko, wala pa 1month ko nabili. you should have gotten the bigger size, di naman talaga maganda manood sa gilid e.

One of the pros for plasma IS viewing angle. Also watching LCD causes extreme eyestrain compared to CRT-like viewing from plasma.

Viewing angle still the Achilles heel for most LCD TVs

While viewing angle plays a small part in the overall score in our Ratings, the picture quality scores are based on the ideal viewing position--smack in front of the screen. As soon as you stray from dead center, either off to the side or up or down, the screen on most LCD sets starts to look dim or washed out, and the colors shift. In extreme cases, the picture can become almost unwatchable. On some models, the horizontal viewing angle is the bigger problem, while on others it’s the vertical position.

Every single LCD TV in the Ratings suffered from this to some extent, so none earned an excellent score for viewing angle. In fact, more than half the LCD sets we tested had only a fair or good viewing angle—two or three steps below the excellent score earned by every plasma set tested. And it’s not just small, low-priced LCDs that fall short. One of the best, and priciest, big-screen models in our test group had fabulous picture quality, but the viewing angle was so narrow it could seriously impede your ability to enjoy that quality in normal use.

The problem is glaringly obvious to us, because we have a few dozen LCD and plasma TVs set up in the lab, side by side, at any given point in time. As we walk around the room, the picture quality on the LCD sets keeps changing, and we have to stand directly in front of the screens to see optimal quality. The plasma TVs show the same rich colors and deep blacks from any angle.


You might notice the same things at home if you have a big sectional, chairs on opposite sides of the room, a flat screen above your fireplace or the kitchen counter, or kids who watch TV while lying on the floor. As Dr. Raymond Soneira, owner of testing firm DisplayMate Technologies, observed in a New York Times article recently, “The ‘sweet spot’ for seeing an accurate picture on an LCD HDTV is only one person wide, even for top-of-the-line models.”

nope, typically plasmas have better viewing angles than lcds. depende rin yan sa quality ng glass panel. pero my samsung plasma has no picture degradation whatever the viewing angle.

wala bang bago bagong review broMon? 2009 din yung review e....

I guess depende talaga sa model. 2011 model samsung ko, wala pa 1month ko nabili. you should have gotten the bigger size, di naman talaga maganda manood sa gilid e.

maaari nga, kasi yung nabili ko, wala pa yata 1 month, series 5 yun.samsung din...

me advantage kasi yung me makapanood sa gilid, kung maramihan ang mga manonood....like Pacmans fights,NBA,etc....

I guess i'll buy the LCD then. Yung Samsung ng brother-in-law ko na LED TV, hindi ko type pricture quality. Ok lang if HD pero kung hindi, parang ok na na LCD na lang. Mas mura pa at manipis din naman. Para sa nagtitipid, iba rason.

no offence bro. why would you even consider viewing at the side when auditioning tv's. sa gilid ka ba manunuod? you should be comparing picture quality. and nothing else. quality always comes at a price. its either high energy consumption or the tv's price it self. ngayun lang naman naka edge and LCD sa plasma in terms of PQ due to the introduction of LED backlignting. edge backlit pa lang yan. but the best LCD tv's are those with whole panel LED backlights.
