+.Vamp Subscriber² Posted February 21, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted February 21, 2008 I know how many of these threads there are etc. but when it comes to spending a fair bit of money on a new tv for myself I want to be certain of my choice :) So in short, having little knowledge of the tech behind the TVs, i need a hand. Which would you pick out of these? Sony - http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronic.../-/Product.html Samsung - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/128473/show_product_overview Thanks in advance!

+.Vamp Subscriber² Posted February 21, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks for the replys so far guys! i have the samsung le26r74bdx (older model) and its a really good tv, had it for 18months now and ca't fault it, apart from when the sound is really loud it does get a bit tinny but thats all. For sound I'm planning on connecting my speakers to it so that shouldn't be a problem :) But it's still good to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreqFace Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Samsung, no doubt. One of my mates owns that exact Samsung model, and I own the same TV but a prior model, so it looks slightly different. Awesome TV. You even get a cloth to clean it because it's so shiny :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Star Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Samsung, for these two. But overall I think Sony makes better TV's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huleboeren Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Since everyone is saying Samsung I am just gonna go ahead and say Sony I like the design better - not too fond of the curves on that Samsung Specifications wise? Dont know - have you seen both of them in action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Samsung, its worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know - have you seen both of them in action? Agreed. I would have said Sony also, but wait....get the Sony! Much cheaper and I think it also does 1080i.

Im pretty sure they both ACCEPT a 1080i signal But their native resolution is 720p I think I read comment saying that an LCD cant produce a 1080i image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+.Vamp Subscriber² Posted February 22, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted February 22, 2008 Well after a little more searching my choice has changed to these: http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronic...searchsource=0# That which is apparantly the best 26" LCD you can currently buy (though a little pricey) and http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronic...earchtype=genre Which is apparantly ALMOST as good, and ?60 cheaper... hmm....

+.Vamp Subscriber² Posted February 22, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yep you all said Samsung to the original two, which is right, and the samsung is still a contender here, i didnt mention that in my previous post sorry, but these two were also optionsnow, because they both got extremely good reviews. No wanting to rush (but still wanting it soon :p) I'm just considering all options, which I have now confidently narrowed to those 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 If you're going with LCD then Samsung is the best. Panasonic has the best Plasma's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J400uk Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Samsung is probably the best but I prefer sony. Panasonic make excellent plasmas but dunno about LCDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeston Veteran Posted February 23, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 23, 2008 You can put up as many options as you want, Samsung is still (arguably) the best for LCDs. Do yourself a favor and get a Sammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
