Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

Might as well try it for a little bit, but it's up to you.

Here's that picture I had, anyway:

Oh I will. Extended returns at Best Buy. I have until January 15th. If the sale stop and they won't give me the 26's then I'll know it was destiny

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

Just bought the 26's, 25, and 14's for a total of $475. I already have the receiver I'll just be replacing my Bose. Not bad, couldn't pass up that deal.

I think I am going to try out the Dayton Sub-1500 - http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-...oofer--300-634 - It's free 45 day returns.

If I don't feel like I am getting enough out of it my #2 choice is to bump in price and go with - http://www.amazon.com/BIC-PL-200-Aco...eywords=pl-200

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

How do these smart tvs compare to a roku? i have the older xs model at it's pretty snappy after the update. apparently the roku 3 is a lot faster than that.

I just got the new Roku 2 this weekend for the bedroom while I left the roku HD in the living room. The loading and streaming times are night and day just comparing those two. The roku 3 is even faster than the two when I tried it at a friend's house. My thing is, if I'm gonna drop 100 bucks on a streaming box, I'd just go get an Apple TV instead. I was able to price match the roku 2 down to 49.91 with amazon and had a 20% off coupon at Target too. Basically made it a no brainer.

With smart tv, if you aren't gonna be willing to pay a premium, be prepared to have mixed performance issues. That's why I went with the roku. Plus, there are just so many apps on roku that Smart TVs don't and won't have. Most smart TVs will let you do 20-30 apps tops, while roku offers over 1000 now and growing

I wouldn't say that around a Samsung person. Samsung by far offers the best SMART experience. If there's one thing Samsung nailed this year, it was their add on features.

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

I'm thinking I might downgrade to the KF-26. The Yamaha RX-V673 I got is rated for 90W per channel. Not sure I'd be getting my money's worth since it seems like it couldn't power the KF-28 to its full potential. Definitely feel free to tell me otherwise.

I would keep the 28's. Klipsch are known as a VERY efficient speaker. They will be fine and sound great on that receiver.

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

That's what I am going to do. My receiver came today. I'm not waiting any longer (though still subless). I got the receiver at a great price and if I can tell the difference when I go from bi-amp to a 7.1 setting then I will just get a new receiver down the line.

Now to decide if I want to go cheap with a Pansonic ST60, or jump up to a VT or ZT...

I have an st60 in my bedroom and a vt60 in my living room. There isn't much of a difference in pic quality, but the vt has a lower input lag, which is better for gaming.

The bi amp will make a huge difference. If you have a 7.1 and want to bi amp with 7 speakers, it's still possible. You just have to get the right audio cable for your towers. I need a 7.1 system because you have to bi amp the Klipsch towers. I have a 5.1 Denon so hopefully I can get a 7.1 cheap somewhere.

I went for the 65" VT. It is currently $50 less than the 65" ST...

Also went through topcashback.com and supposedly I am going to get 4% cash back. Plus I'll get $50 in reward credits for picking up in store from Best Buy. Minus the $20 I'll spend if I don't have enough ratchet tie downs.

Bought this one 2 Sundays ago:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/65-class-64-1-2-diag--led-1080p-120hz-smart-hdtv/8815227.p?id=1218901329523&skuId=8815227&st=Samsung%20smart%20tv%2065&cp=1&lp=4

And took it back for this one:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-60-34-class-60-34-diag--led-1080p-240hz-smart-3d-hdtv/8221048.p?skuId=8221048&id=1218865211299

The 1st one had crazy motion blur while watching sports and video games and no matter what setting(s) I chose I couldn't get rid of it. I wracked my brain for like 4-5 days reading every thread on AVS about it and still not able to get rid of it. I went slightly smaller to a 60" but the difference between 120hz & 240hz is very noticeable between these 2 TVs IMO.

My wife loves the smart features, especially Netflix and HBO Go. The setup was a breeze. It recognized my STB & Receiver in a matter of seconds.
