Question by lucky?never: What should I know about getting an HDTV? Im in the direction of getting a 1080p LCD HDTV. However, I am still deciding. What do I need to know? Consider I am keeping my standard definition DVD player and PlayStation 2.

Answer by SVN S1X TW0Unless you have some sort of HD channel coming in, the tv is worthless, save its size. Watching regular cable tv on my 65″ makes it look like trash. And since nearly EVERY thing that is in “1080p” is actually 720 upscaled, you can probably save some cash by going for that instead. Yes, even xbox and ps3 gamers are almost all entirely in 720.
Edit:
The crazy idiot below me listed four, when he said there were 3! LED and LCD are COMPLETELY different. One is liquid crystal, the other is LED light. Duh…… He also forgot about DLP projection. Don’t let the media or anyone else lie to you. DLP looks every bit as good as LCD or Plasma, but you will notice a difference between any TV we have listed yet, and the new OLED and Laser tvs. Mitsubishi is the only company to make laser tvs yet, and from what I have heard, the picture is amazing. Oh, and he said LCD doesn’t use alot of electricity? Thats garbage. They put off a ton of heat, which means they use more than most types of tvs.
Ups and downs for each type of TV
LCD pro: Flat, good picture, and decent colors, getting cheaper con: eats electricity, creates ALOT of heat, heavy. older models are 60-120 hrtz
Plasma pro: Good color representation for the most part, clear picture, flat, can be heavy. usually more than 120 hrtz. con: terrible black color, high possibility for image burn on most models, cost, can be heavy.
DLP pro: comes in largest size of any tv out there, great color, including black, good picture, wont image burn for a long time, doesn’t eat electricity con:heavy and bulky if you get a larger one, not flat, bulbs do burn out after a year or more, sometimes price, older models cheaper. Most are 60-120 hrtz, with newer models 120+
LED pro:crystal clear color and picture, amazing lifespan, FAST refresh rate con: cost
Laser pro:color and image quality are the best you can buy, larger screen, fast refresh rate. con: COST!($ 7000) might be too big and heavy depending on the size you get.
No matter what you get you are making some trade-offs. I have a DLP, and I love it. Its a 65″ Mitsubishi. I was going to get the 73″, but getting the deal I did, I couldn’t pass it up. I play my Xbox on it, and had high definition cable through Comcast, and it looked amazing.

We saw all the 2013 HDTVs debut last month at CES and the first few new models are starting to reach shelves. One of the more interesting sets arriving is LG’s 55-inch OLED HDTV, the first of its kind at this large size. Shipments are starting Monday for the 11 million won ($ 10k~) television, and according to a press release, LG has notched about 100 pre-orders so far in its home country. For comparison, LG announced it sold 300 of its 84-inch, $ 20k Ultra HDTV in Korea as of last month. LG also mentioned it plans to sell as many as 15 percent more HDTVs in 2013 than it did in 2012, as it continues to push its Smart and 3D features. We’re still waiting for Samsung to release its own OLED HDTVs, while this one is still slated to ship in the US in March for $ 11,999.

The Smart TV Alliance consisting of LG and TP Vision (Philips) is still hammering away at its dream of platform-independent Smart TV apps, and as IFA 2012 gets under way it has a few new announcements. After promising Japanese manufacturers would join back in June it has welcomed Toshiba to the fold, as well as other supporters like Qaulcomm, Mstar, Onigo and Yume. At IFA 2012, LG is showing off the first apps built to the original SDK 1.0 spec built by Accuweather, Eurosport, online music channel Vilanoise and others. It’s not stopping there however, as the SDK 2.0 we’d heard about is still due before 2012 is out, and has been built to take advantage of the new more powerful SoCs that companies like Qualcomm (the S4 family) and Mstar can provide to HDTV manufacturers.
