LED or LCD

[chua_riwap]

SIR iba na po ang plasma ngayon... pag dating sa gaming ang refresh rate ng LG NA plasma eh 600hz po...

pag dating naman po sa power consumption... nasa 180 watts nalang ang 42"... pero mas matipid pa din ang LED AT LCD...

PAG dating naman po sa burn... may color wash na po ang LG PLASMA... No problem with the burn also...

ang kinaganda ng plasma it last longer than LED AND LCD...then kasing slim na din po ng LED...

hindi na din po tulad ng dati na ang plasma eh super init... at super lakas sa kuryente...

iba na po ang plasma ngayon...

VALUE for money po talaga... 32K lang 42" HD NA.... 3D PA PO... maganda talaga... galing ng 3D...!!! branded pa...

o, puso mo.....

[glenn manikis]

puso mo.....

he he... it just.. and still excites me everytime i watch an HD Copy lalong lalo na pag 3D... and i dont have to convert it... mas deeper 3D kasi pag 3D copy na...

SA shangrila ko una nakita yung LG PLASMA 3D... Then lumabas sa sm appliance... got mine from ang ad in sulit... and read the reviews from pinoy pc ata yun... or pinoy dvd... not sure po ha... pero para ma enjoy nyo po ang hd tv dapat we should pair it with a media player at hard drive... and dapat din po HD COPY or at least DVD Rip copy...

[glenn manikis]

okay bro. so this is a new type of plasma. hindi ko ito napapansin when i go to an appliance store.

sir not sure po... maybe... because of the stated reasons above...

[_Qwerty_]

sir iba po yung 120hz na refresh rate nang mga LED sa 600hz nang Plasma.. yung sa Plasma subfield drive po yan.. that means sa 600hz, the display is processing 10 sub-pictures per frame..

sir ang old technology po siguro eh yung old na plasma na makapal, umiinit, at super lakas po sa kuryente.... kasi 600hz ang plasma... ang led 120hz lang... almost as slim na din po ng LED ang plasma... new technology na po ata kung ganun...

[Retz]

sir not sure po... maybe... because of the stated reasons above...

nakita ko na ung mga plasma tv. it is much cheaper than LCD. pero hindi siya malinaw compared to LCD. kitang kita mo ang difference.

sir baka naman... sd lang ang movie na gamit sa plasma. at hd naman ang iba... eh pareho lang naman HD tv yun WALANG pinagkaiba ang resolution nun... then may settings din po yun... baka naka economy mode ang isa at yung isa naman vivid... led tv po sobrang bright talaga ang colors aadjust nyo din po yun... then the price almost half ata... lifespam pa ng plasma 100k hours.. ang led nasa 60k lang... value for money ill go for the plasma... merry xmas brother....

Plasma picture is pretty good, with contrast ratio comparable to the newer LEDs, but even with newer plasmas, I'm concerned about burn-in. I've seen some showroom units with pretty nasty burn-in. 100k hours sounds pretty impressive, but the question is what the picture quality will be like in the last 40k of those 100k hours.

LED is really the way to go. Low heat. Low power consumption. Great contrast ratio. And non-3D 42 inchers from Samsung and LG are now in the 35k region. We are finally upgrading my Mom's six year old HD LCD with a new one this week.

3D screens are drool worthy, but we're waiting for the tech to sort itself out before taking the plunge. It'd be a shame to buy now only to find inexpensive glasses-free 3D TVs on the market next Christmas.

On the truly high-end of the spectrum, plasmas still produce the best picture quality, bar-none. Burn-ins are not as big a problem as 5 years ago, and even then, this was more of a problem for gamers and those used for marketing signage. The newer plasmas in the market hardly have burn-in problems.

Contrast ratios, when talking about numbers, between LED's and Plasmas is apples to oranges. An LED which claims a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio will still not beat even a mid-end plasma model in terms of deeper blacks (essential for movies) which only has a listed 2,000,000:1 ratio. This is because LCD's and, by extension, its LED cousins, measure it as Dynamic Contrast ratio, where the backlight of the panel is dimmed (by software) to get the darkest image possible (plasmas measure it as static contrast ratio). This can be problematic when an image on the screen has both very dark and very bright objects, the LCD/LED software will not be able to adjust the screen enough to get the similar picture quality of a plasma (or a very high-end HD CRT, for that matter).

The TV's with the best picture quality in the world, for movies and 3D, are still plasmas (OLED can potentially take the throne but the technology is still not practical enough for living rooms).

When it comes to heat and power consumption, LED wins. Take note, that comparable panel sizes between LED's and plasmas of the same model year typically have a difference of, at most, 20%, which can equate to very little savings on your Meralco bill.

re. burn issue may color wash na po ang LG PLASMA baka samsung meron na din... so you dont have to be wary about that... if i were you sir... ill go for the 50plus inchers... bigger is better... with regards to the 3d Glasses.. i bought my plasma at an ad at sulit... the seller is voltz... free na ang 2 3d glasses and you can buy another pair at 2.5k...sir mura mga led at lcd din sa kanya... yung LG lCD hd NYA 42" none 3d... if i can recall it right.. nasa 26k lang..

*Verbal Kint: The problem is... I am a gamer... so burn-in is an issue, for sure. Though I am aware that newer ones have less of an issue.

Still... even though I am impressed with the picture quality of plasma, I'm going the LED route, simply because the new screens come closer than the older ones to the black depths of plasma. Yeah... the savings might not be that great, but I feel that the low heat and consumption will probably do well for overall longevity.

*glenn: Still not going 3D. It's nice and all, but it's still more of a novelty. What I'm waiting to see is which technology matures fastest and best... the active glasses, the passive glasses or glasses-free. I'm aware glasses-free is a long ways away, but by the time it matures, then we'll have enough content to make it worthwhile.

At the moment, the compromises of 3D, the need for glasses, the eyestrain on long viewing, limited viewing angles and limited content (I hate the 3D effects that are being retroactively put onto older movies... looks artificial and cheap, 3D games, on the other hand... take a hit on frame-rates and detail compared to their non-3D modes) means that I won't be missing it much for the meantime.

Atsaka low-budget ako. 42" will do for now.

Where do you buy your LED Tv? Could you suggest stores that gives big discount and lotsa freebies?

I've read somewhere around the net that Plasma TVs are better placed in dark rooms (ala theater room) and LEDs/LCDs shows its best in brightly-lit rooms.

Retz, Sights n Sounds Shang Mall 4F

thanks bro. will check that place.

[Verbl Kint]

Check pinoydvd.com. The best deals and reviews can be found there. Sellers like SnS regularly update prices as well.

mababa na ang price ngayon ng 40" LCD. Latest ngayon mga 3D LED INTERNET TV.

[palonmar]

Intayin ko na lang irelease ng LG ang TV na gamit ang Super AMOLED display bago ko paltan ang LCD ko. Balita ko by 2013 irelease na yan ng LG. Magmumura na yang LED TV's 'pag 'yan. Pictures will be much crisper ,clearer and more energy efficients. That is a kind of display we see on mobile phones like in the Samsung Galaxy S2, PS Vita etc.,

[tsupermario]

well the Super AMOLED display of the Samsung Galaxy Note is having problems rendering HD content. more info here.

[palonmar]

Thats the Galaxy Note problem! and not all products using Super AMOLED Displays are having problems! It may be a software or hardware glitch thats causing the problem not the display itself. The technology of AMOLED's are already proven and being used nowadays! Soon, those LCD and LED TV's will be replaced....Further improvements on those displays are heavily funded on their RND's to make their products more superior than the previous ones!

[Verbl Kint]

The cutting edge right now would be large OLED screens with 4k resolution. Masyado lang mahal. They were unveiled at CES a few weeks ago.
