I'm considering this TV: http://fassie.com/Sharp_AQUOS_LC-80LE844U_80_Class_3D_LED_TV_4088.html?refid=Grabber Does anybody have any experience with it? I didn't see any reviews of that particular model on CNET.

AzCoug posted:Last I heard Vizio's were improving in their quality and starting to become, overall, very good TV's. Is this still the case? Have they become one of the premier TV brands and something to consider? This one gets pretty good ratings on CNET, especially for its price: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/vizio-e701i-a3/4505-6482_7-35477664.html The 60" version costs half as much and is one of their editor's picks: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/vizio-e601i-a3/4505-6482_7-35477662.html It should be noted the picture quality on both isn't as good as some of the other manufacturers but I imagine most people won't notice the difference. One question I have is has anyone had any experience with DLP TVs specially the Mitsubishi 840s? I haven't found hardly any professional reviews on them and rear projection/DLP isn't even mentioned in the first post. They seem like a great value but there doesn't seem to be very much information on them so I'm worried they aren't worth it.

AzCoug posted:What differences might you see? According to the articles the black levels aren't as good as higher end LED and Plasma TVs. It also suffers from uniformity issues (whatever that means). quote:I have a JVC 62" DLP right now that I am looking to replace. I've had it for about 6-7 years. Replaced the bulb once (Approx. $200). As of about 2 years ago I did get a large yellow ring in the screen. Looked into it and in order to replace it, I am basically replacing the main component of the TV, which was not cost effective. I'm not sure how rare this is, but you can really only notice it against white backgrounds. Nonetheless, if you keep replacing the bulbs when needed, it's the type of TV that could last a LONG time. I'd actually prefer it sit on a stand, it makes it a lot easier to hook-up stuff to it. My current TV is from 2004 so pretty much no matter what TV I get it will be a lot thinner.

I just got this TV from Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sharp+-...CFQ0GnQodQhUA8g I was able to get it for about $4,000 (plus tax) by getting them to price match BuySquad.com. I actually had to go to a couple different Best Buys before I found a manager willing to match that price. It seems their "official" policy on price matching is only to match local retailers price or Amazon's, if anyone else wants to buy from them don't be afraid to visit a couple different stores if one store isn't playing ball. I didn't get the GeekSquad warranty, is it even worth considering? They also tried to sell me a $300 set of HDMI cables because they were silver lined and supposedly cheaper ones will look crappy on an 80" TV. They also said the cheaper ones don't support 120hz or 240hz. I'm assuming that's total bullshit and the $2 to $5 ones you can get at Monoprice will work just fine, is that correct? It comes on Tuesday and I'm pretty excited! Smoking_Dragon fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Jan 14, 2013 |
