New tv?


Well it looks like the not so old Samsung 50 inch plasma is on its last legs. It has a blue vertical band running down the left side and repair folks are telling me it is likely the display panel which cost as much or more than a new TV to repair. So what are you folks liking these days as the best TV for home theater? This is a set up with an oppo 103 and NAD integrated amp and Sonus fabar toy towers. We are looking for a 55 inch set and are wondering if plasma is still the best way to go? As always thanks for any suggestions.

It is the Diamond from Audioquest. I use now three of them. One as a monitor cable to my Samsung PS64F8500, one for my Humax decoder and one for my Bluray player. It is both in vision and sound the best I have seen and heard sofar. Pure silver does bring it to another level.
Audiowomen, to sidetrack: I just got a copy of one of your reference CDs because of your listing in a thread (what's your reference music) of Cassandra Wilson "Blue Lights 'Til Dawn" (especially tracks 8&9)
EXTREMELY NICE!!!!!!
Isochronism: Nice to hear from you! I never found the fancy cd racks either, but I bought 6 blue IKEA dvd/cd towers and put them together on one wall. Holds about 900+ cd's and just about full! Of course, they no longer make them in blue, but I think in the next house I'll do a long wall with 6 more black ones in between the blue - kinda cool looking actually and cheap!

Glad you are enjoying Blue LIght Till Dawn - very nice indeed.
In the last few months I did a lot of research in the 2013 screens. There is one simple conclusion I can make. Plasma is still superior to LED. Wenn I watch at the best LED screens I am watching to flaws all the time. ONLY PEOPLE WITH LESS KNOWLEDGE ARE CAPABLE OF BUYING A LED SCREEN. So what are these flaws? First the motion is still inferior to Plasma. Even at bluray you see the problems. I get f..irritated wenn i see this. Many peole are f.. blind because they buy them. How stuppid you can be in my world. Colours are far from realistic. I see one positive thing in the best LED screens these days, there is a little depth. But compared to the best Panasonic and Samsung plasma's which can give a 3d image even without glasses it is still inferior. Watch a movie with a led screen and compare it with a plasma. You will understand that the led screen will make you feel if the movie was recorded with a cheep videocamera. Only with a plasma you can watch it with the feeling of a real movie.
