nightscape94 965 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I had one of their bulky 36" TVs, which at the time seemed gigantic. I believe it weighed just south of 5,000 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'd recommend this. It's advertised with an IPS panel, which I think is the key to a good LCD TV (to me a clearly visible difference in image quality)http://www.lg.com/ca_en/ips-led-tvs?s_kwcid=TC&13078&ips%20led%20tv&&S&e&37443557627Anyways if my older LG broke I'd get one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I had a 32" Sony LCD that I always liked. It wasn't the biggest or the best by any means, but it suited me and my Blu-rays always looked good. I recently learned that criminals invaded the old man's house and the TVs were taken along with other electronics. It's not a big deal. The John Williams collection remains. However, I abandoned all material possessions years ago to spend the rest of my life going to Disneyland, so does it really matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 LED is the same as LCD, just different backlighting and flashier marketing. OLED is too expensive and only found in high end shops (at least in Australia) to be considered an option at this point.And plasma has been cleared out in stores here.

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Plasma was amazing in its day, but alternatives have surpassed it. After plasma is completely phased out, will Drax pretend to covet that tech as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Isnt that a myth?Again, all the TV reviewers say Plasma is the better technology but LCD is slowly getting there. However, LCD is cheaper to make and most people don't care about quality.For now only OLED is supposedly superior. Drax has to quit dreaming about vintage Trinitron and go for OLED.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Guess I bought my plasma at the wrong time! It was the best reviewed TV of 2013 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Oled blue pixels degrade faster, so after using your TV for a year the colors will be off balance. This is very difficult to re-calibrate. Also oled can apparently have burn inand the curved screen is a terrible idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Right now, I'd rather have the tried and true mature technology of plasma over the relatively untested tech of OLED. It needs a fair way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm gonna be honest. The best TV I've ever had was a Sony flat screen tube television from the early-mid 2000s. You know, one of those big bastards that you'd walk into Circuit City and see the Terminator 2 Extreme Edition being advertised on.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I own a westinghouse without a power cord. Some how the only thing we cannot find is the box with its powercord, an LG blu ray player, remotes, and a really nice power strip. I've order a new power cord. It's the tv in the spare bedroom so it's not likely to be watched often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
