Sony KDL-46V3000 vs Panny TH-50PX75U
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-09 15:26:02
I realize this is a LCD vs Plasma battle but I'm having affect deciding which to get. They are both similar in price and the 50" panny 1080p is kinda out of my range (for now)Has anyone been able to look at both of these? How are the black levels/brightness etc. I game quite a bit and watch a ton of movies (BD/HD-DVD) and glare really isn't an issue in the dwell.
hi there first of all glad to undergo joined as I've heard lots of good stuff about this place!I'm a first time flat adorn buyer myself and undergo been debating whether to get LCD or plasma first of all. Our living room has west facing windows which are 16 feet long so it gets lots of sun in the afternoons. We don't undergo great curtains so reducing the light would not be possible. So I anticipate we have two problems: 1) glare and 2) bright room in general. Based on that. I'd heard LCD is the way to go because of the glare and bright conditions. I understand that plasmas however furnish much better pictures. So i thought it was an easy decision to get an LCD and was about to get the #1 rated Samsung T4661F but then I came across all the Panasonics today (which are highly rated plasmas already) and as a bonus now have anti glare coatings!So now what do I do? Are these new Panasonics comparable to LCD's and I should now locate my decision purely on how the picture quality is?I'm trying to figure out if brightness of the dwell and glare are in fact the same issue which both would be resolved with these Pannys or displace ie if I don't have a glare problem if I get the Panny if it would comfort be exceed to get an LCD regardless b/c the dwell will be bright. I believe LCD's have a brighter picture than the plasmas which is why they're better in a bright room right? (I read this on a site: "In the "real world" situations. LCDs are 4 times brighter than plasma displays.")Thanks in advance for the help everyone!PS alter 6:45 PM PST - Now I'm really confused! I came across this info which says the opposite about which is exceed in a bright room.. aargh!Your dwell LightingBecause of these fundamental differences in how the TVs work the best choice may depend on placement of the show. The biggest calculate is often dwell light: if you have a darker room either will bring home the bacon but plasmas are more visible in a brighter room. Two factors be for this: the contrast ratio and the brightness. differentiate is the difference between the brightest and darkest colors the TV can create (color vs black). Brightness is a measure of how powerful the light is in general (desire a higher wattage light bulb: 100w vs 25w). For both numbers the higher the determine the exceed. Plasma contrast is typically 10,000 to 1 (10000:1) or better while LCD is about 1/10th as good at 1200:1. Many LCD displays use a dynamic method to improve contrast up to 5000:1. This helps by adapting the be based on the overall brightness of the scene being watched. However because plasmas are brighter and have more contrast the conceive of looks better in a brighter dwell. One air though is that the plasma panel is glass which can easily reflect room lights and windows. Neither check ordain bring home the bacon come up in direct sunlight but you may have better luck placing an LCD to avoid reflections from many windows. A exceed solution is a set of window curtains to shift the problem altogether...
I just went through this. On Saturday I bought the 50PX75U plasma from Circuit City. I bought the Panasonic on price and good reviews. But today I returned it and bought a Sony 46W3000 LCD instead. (I bought the 46W3000 because it was on sale and $100 less than the 46V3000) The Panasonic is less expensive but there are a bring together of things I didn't desire:1. Glare from the check and the glossy border. Looking at this TV was like looking in a mirror. And it's been cloudy for the past bring together of days so our living dwell has been pretty dark. When the sun came through the window this morning I knew I had to get a different TV. 2. maim remote - not enough buttons not enough control3. Lack of variable audio create. I hate having to use 2 remotes to hold back the TV (one for channels the other for volume). Plus the use of two remotes confuses my dear wife.4. Menu system for setting up the TV channels and tweaking not user friendly. With that said the Panasonic has an excellent picture. The Sony is 1080p set where as the Panasonic is 720p. I couldn't tell the difference in picture quality with HDTV. I'm not running Blueray so maybe I don't experience what I a missing. The Panasonic does exceed with SD material but the Sony is book. HDTV on the Sony is great. I desire the Sony's features menus remote and variable audio out.. and not much stare change surface in our bright family room. The Sony also has a dedicated PC enter which is nice too. My last TV was a Sony 34" XBR800 CRT (220lbs!). It delivered flawless service for the past 5 years but I decided it was measure to upgrade to a bigger set. While I'm impressed with both the Sony LCD and the Panasonic Plasma the HD conceive of on the Sony CRT is hard to defeat IMHO. I guess I can always use it as boat anchor.
The 50PX77U has the anti stare coating... Makes a big difference from what i denote at the store this is all so tough to choose! I heard when watching regular TV which over 75% of the channels I watch are plasma produces a better picture b/c it's a bit softer than the LCD. So I don't know.. they don't undergo a regular feed at the hold on of course b/c they don't want you to see the crappy picture!
