The budget is below $800. I don't care about 3d, but it must be 1080p with good picture quality. Also, where would I find the best sales? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If you can get away with it, don't buy the TV today. Go look at several stores and then sleep on it. Otherwise you can't really mess it up as long as you stick with your budget.
I always say plasma. You can get a decent 42 inch for less than your budget. Honestly I would stay away from walmart. A lot of the times they have manufacturers specifically make TV's for them and the quality may not be up to par. Just my two cents. You're going to have the TV for a long time so I say get the best and biggest you can for your budget.
This problem is not limited only to LCD TVs, i have a Samsung Plasma (3D) which presented the same issue.
So yeah someone buying a HDTV today should DEFINITELY avoid...what? Jumping in a time machine and buying a TV from 2011? Yeah, I rather doubt that's an issue.
That's all well and good guys, but can we get back on topic here. The extended discussion of some class action lawsuit is of very limited use to me. I decided to delay my decision a week. Also, how safe is it to buy a TV at a great price from a new amazon seller? What about EBay etc...?
I have a UT50 which is gorgeous and was a bargain.
Seller wise I would try to avoid online sellers as transport can be an issue (especially with plasmas). Shops such as Richer Sounds and John Lewis tend to be good, if you have equivalents in your area.
If you're planning on using it as any sort of second monitor I'd say stay away from plasma as the GUI can cause burn in. Most games are a bit better now with semitransparent HUDs so you might not find it too large an issue there.
Outside of this issue I've become a huge fan of plasma, it just looks glorious.
