Default Re: New TV Needed

$3500 Is "Are You Freakin Kiddin' Me", Thomas! No Fancy Showrooms In Mobile, Unfortunately. After Reading Best Buys Customer Reviews, The SONY Apparently Has Better Customer Service & Quality Than Samsung?? I Have A 2 Year Old LG 60" Plasma In The Gameroom That I Love, But "The Mrs." Thinks It's Too Dark. She Likes A Brighter Picture. U Think The 4K & LED Pic Are "Brighter" Than Plasma?

Hey, I've seen OLED prices that would get you a new car!

As for Plasma, again as I understand it, the only complaint about them (aside from their high power drain) is their darkness. The picture, contrast, viewing angle, and refresh rate supposedly blows LED away, but you needed a darker room to see the screen clearly. Yet if you want a Plasma, you better get it NOW . . . it is following the dodo into extinction.

Keep in mind that NONE of what I've told you is based on personal experience, and is only what I've read. At present I am watching The Caine Mutiny over boradcast TV on a 15-year-old 20-inch Toshiba CRT set hooked up to a digital converter box and rabbit-ears.

I do. And a lot "sharper". Although I'm honestly thrilled with the two plasmas we have, but they are both in dark bedrooms.
I think it's cause the plasmas have that screen door pixel thing going on that makes for much blacker blacks, while the led is backlighted and always wants to be bright.
So the plasma does black really good and the led does the whites really good.
I think the boss is right, buddy. You should have known.
