I have a LG LED HDTV. I have a friend who has a Samsung LCD hdtv. I've been told and read that LED tvs display a better picture. However, this Samsung LCD tv looks way better than my tv. I don't understand why. Can someone explain? =

I use hdmi cables btw

 

 

Samsung TVs>any LG crap.

If you want the best picture seek out a Panasonic Plasma before it's too late.

Love my Samsung Plasma.

 

Samsung also  makes an excellent Plasma.

So the best hdtv is a Samsung LED hdtv correct?

So the best hdtv is a Samsung LED hdtv correct?

the best mass produced, low end set? Probably, depending on the model. But plasmas are improving much faster than LEDs and can easily overtake them, if they haven't already.

The key is research. look for patterns in user reviews, get expert reviews from cnet and audio video magazines

We bought higher-end (at the time) Samsung LCDs about 5 years ago and still love them, especially the 850.

Samsung will be my next choice then :)

Playing around with settings again. Trying to get rid of the lil bit of streaking I keep seeing. Turns out I had to turn off the Noise Reduction option. Funny how an option that's supposed to improve your picture actually makes it worse.

[chknwing]

buy a tv based on specs, not what it looks like in the store.  Every store that sells tvs, turns the brightness up on the tvs they want to get rid of.  Also, if your tv has a dynamic contrast feature, use it.

[KillerKat]

You guys were right. Make it a little darker and the picture becomes a lot better. Turning off Noise Reduction helped a lot too.

the over the air signal is hands down the more true "HD" picture.

 

i got a 32 for my office/man sliver(not an official cave ok?) and when the channels programmed it gave both cable and ant. ant is no doubt the superior pic because it's not as compressed as cable.

 

i say that to make sure some don't over spend on HD gadgets that do no good.

Expounding upon HD accessories. The cables. Oh the prices of the fuging cables. It's really a huge rip off is someone's charging you more than $10 for an HDMI. An HD signal is such that you either get a complete signal or you get nothing, unlike analog where the signal quality can vary greatly

A company called twisted veins sells quality HDMI cables on Amazon and you can get a set of two for less than $2. You could even get HDMIs from the dollar store if you're fine with replacing them when they spontaneously fail
