Electronics In the market for a new TV - Page 2

Have a 7-8 year old Panasonic 50" plasma. Looking to go bigger (probably 55"), higher refresh is better (use it primarily for games and sports). How's this deal look (with BB's 10% movers coupon)?

Honestly, there's almost no point these days. Between Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick, and the Roku stick, I know of no reason I'd pay extra for a TV with apps from a manufacturer who isn't going to update their software anywhere near as frequently as those.

I have nothing to add. Only that this is so on point, I feel it needs to be said twice.

That is a boss TV..... supposedly better than the Pioneer Kuro. How big did you go, and (if you don't mind sharing) how much was it?

I bought a 60 inch Visio M-Series (or whatever their top model is) and it looks great. It was half the price of the comparable Samsung and I couldn't tell a difference in Best Buy when they were side by side. I have no complaints about the picture. It looks great and I absolutely love the price.

Man that makes me sick. I have a 50" Samsung as well, but I got it 4 or 5 years ago and was a little bit more than $450.

Are you looking to go LED or sticking to plasma?

Dayze · 10-30-2014, 03:52 PM

at the time I was looking at smaller LCD (I t hink), and my wife noticed the 50" Plasma on sale. I figure it would be too much, then I saw the price and the decision was made.

my father-in-law bought a 50" Plasma back in probably 2007 for like $3800 lol.

Yeah, I'm not LOL'ing, but it's an awesome TV.

One place to look for deals it Newegg.com they have some really deals at times and their Customer service has been grade A for me.

Not for long. Get one while you still can.

Skyy God · 12-01-2014, 09:55 PM

So I ended up with a 51" Samsung F8500.... supposedly one of the best TVs made to date. It's fantastic, but I wish I would have tracked down a 60".
