Rudy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm thinking of maybe buying a new TV, not because I want to but because my current one is dying :( I currently have a 46" Samsung LN-T4661F that I bought 3 years ago (and does everything I need great), but unfortunately last night when I turned it on there was a yellow vertical line on the left side :/ (1px wide), the line goes away after the TV is on for a bit (5-15min) but this morning I got another symptom (clicking when turning on and it took about 2x longer than usual to turn on). I read online that Samsung was using cheap capacitors and they are fairly easy to replace, I might look into that but I'm not very good with anything that involves soldering :blush:. So just in case the TV dies out completely or that I try to fix it and kill it :unsure: I've been looking for a possible replacement. Here's what I need: - 46" - 3-4 x HDMI ports - 2 x Component ports (For Wii and 360) Here's what I DON'T NEED: - 3D (it's a complete waste for me as I can't see the 3D effect :/) I was looking at the 46" TVs that Samsung has and here's what I was considering: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-46-1080p-led-hdtv-un46c5000-un46c5000/10140319.aspx?path=af170df4d87ff69f8dabd1fa295a8df8en02&lid=fp-10140319-samsungsamsung461080pledhdtvun-en http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-46-1080p-lcd-hdtv-ln46c550-future-shop-exclusive-ln46c550j1fxzc/10141178.aspx?path=eb9e18ffba166a170df9a54568950a19en02 http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-46-1080p-120hz-lcd-hdtv-ln46c610-ln46c610n1fxzc/10141257.aspx?path=254edd3a448bae41023cc46e0a3818d4en02 The first one is an LED and the other 2 are LCD (does it really matter? What are the advantages?) The first 2 are 60hz and the last one 120hz (does it matter? My last one was 60hz and I never had trouble in action scenes or video games) Also they all have ethernet ports :blink: What's the use for the TV? (does it provide some kind of tv guide or something? and how would that work with the current one I have with my digital box) Thanks guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Lee Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If you're going to be using so many hdmi and component devices, it might be a good idea to think about getting an audio visual receiver. http://gizmodo.com/5480790/av-receiver-battlemodo-600-or-bust These are mid rage ones, but you can get cheapers models by the same manufacturers.

I have one right now but I prefer having the device go straight to the TV and from the TV have an optical link to my receiver :/ Maybe it's because my receiver only has 2 HDMI inputs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
