Buying new tv helpp!!?????

Question

im going to buy a full hd 100hz tv

can anyone recommend me a good tv?

i will sit 10ft away if that helps and i want to get the most out of 1080p

i was thinking samsung series 6 because of its 50,000:1 contrast ratio

Answer 1

I have worked on just about all brands of TVs for the last 20 years.   I usually recommend Sony, Panasonic or Sharp.  Samsung is not rated as one of the best.    Plasma sets do have a higher contrast ratio than LCDs.    Once you get past a ratio of  around 20,000:1 any increase in ratio becomes difficult to see.   The contrast ratio on LCD sets is getting better but have not gotten close to that of the better plasma TVs.

     At a viewing distance of 10 ft a screen size of 40 to 42 inches would be adequate.  Remember also that plasma sets have a better off center viewing angle.  The picture on LCD displays will tend to become degraded the farther off center you sit.  Good luck.
