Flat Screen Recommendations: 50 to 60 inch

The Pioneer KRP-500M Plasma was one the BEST that Pioneer ever made! I heard that Pioneer will make OLED HDTV's in the future.....

There's absolutely no buzz coming from my 1-inch thick Samsung LED. Yes, some LCD's have an artificial, animated picture quality and make real people look like cartoons. No argument there. But LED's are *completely* different. They combine the best attributes of plasma and LCD: excellent contrast, deep color, low glare, wide viewing angle, low power consumption.

I brought home several TVs a few months ago to do my own testing. I started with a 55" Samsung LCD. It had a stunning picture with DVD and Blu ray. When I say stunning, I mean absolutely gorgeous deep color! But cable content was animated with too much motion judder. So I returned it and bought a 50" Panasonic plasma. The Panasonic had an excellent picture at night when all the lights were out, but during the day it looked dark. At night, we couldn't have any lights on behind us without seeing them in the screen. This wasn't the case with the Samsung LCD. So we returned the Panasonic. On a whim, I bought a cheap 55" Toshiba LCD that was terrible. It had primitive calibration controls that wouldn't allow us to get the picture right. I couldn't return it fast enough. Then we bought a Samsung LED. Amazing picture! It has the deep color and excellent contrast of plasma with a minimal amount of glare and no motion judder. The picture is the best I've seen -- both with cable and Blu ray. We couldn't be happier.

Best Buy has a generous 30 day return policy that made this kind of testing possible. No questions asked.

What's the model number on that Samsung, Mingles?
