which 60+ TV?

[Fred Adam]

Hi,

I have a choice of the following and need your professional advice:

Sony R550, 70" LED
Samsung UA65F6400, 65" LED
Samsung PS64F8500, 64" plasma

I use my TV most of the time for cable viewing with the occasional DVD movies.

The sony is appealing because of its 70" size. Till now i am reading lots of reviews on the advantages of LED vs plasma but i am getting more confused!


Thank you for your help.

LED is more efficient and runs cooler. Plasma has a better picture and lasts longer. IMO of course. If you go plasma I recommend Panasonic.

plasma televisions are real energy hogs. led backlit lcd televisions are very energy efficient.

i'm not so sure about plasma lasting longer as they had a very bad history to them.

one definite advantage plasma has is better static contrast although if you went with a led tv with one of the "grid arrays" of leds they are not too far off.

i'd say go with a led lcdtv. personally i like sony but samsung is also a good brand.

read reviews on the particular units you are looking at.

Plasma for sure. Best actual picture and potentially cheaper than LED lit LCD TV. The Panasonic, LG, and Samsung are all excellent. Panasonic is perhaps better at the less that top of the line series. Check this link out for a shootout done recently
