What kinda TV you got?

Brighter doesn't mean better picture. Retail has all there tv's on "torch mode" so consumers gravitate to the brightest picture because for some reason people think brighter is better. Once you have a plasma set up right it's great. Movies are insane in 1080p since there are much deeper blacks with a plasma.
I know that, I meant clearer AND brighter. I always got the feeling though that every store sabotages the models they don't want to sell as much as others. That's how I feel about those Hisense TV's at Walmart. I worked at Cox Communications for 5 years until this last year and all of the technicians agreed that nothing on the market was better than a high end Samsung LED once the settings are where they need to be

clearness and brightness are the worst things you could consider for picture quality lol. you want the opposite, a 'soft' natural picture with extreme dark blacks and great contrast.
but to each their own. people seem to love their tvs with extreme brightness, and with hyper-real sharpness, thats why all display tvs are set in "torch mode" i guess, with max contrast and brightness. to me the sign of a bad tv is looking at it and thinking it "looks HD". picture quality should never appear artificially enhanced or hyper-real, it should look real and natural

pretty much though both those tvs you said are great though, i would get a led tv for my next tv easily. this plasma is pretty much a movie viewing tv, i wouldn't bother unless you watch blu-rays like 90% of the time. looking back id get an LED cause i game like crazy now and i have to be careful about image retention from the bright ass HUDs in all these games. burn-in is dead but image retention is very much alive and extremely annoying
I have 46" Sony Bravia 1080 led in my bedroom and a 50" Samsung 720 plasma in the living room, the 720 plasma picture looks way better then the led, only thing that sucks with the plasma is it puts off a lot of heat.

If you want the best picture and a tv that will last 10+ years get a Sony. You're gonna pay more but you get what you pay for. I've set up and installed a few of the new $7000 4k models and it's by far the best picture out there. Thing is you can get a pretty nice off brand 60" for under a grand and just upgrade every few years. Depends on how much it means to you I guess. I have an older sony 46" LCD I got a deal on as my main tv and old ass tube TVs in my bedrooms.
Plasmas have deeper black tones so if ur gonna watch dark knight or somethin then itd probably look better on a plasma... But if u wanna a sci-fi movie then an led would be brighter n look better. And i dont mean bright like turning up the brightness on a tv, i mean like more vibrant, cleaner colors

I got a LG 55' 3D Smart Apps TV that came with a 3D BluRay Player and 6 Glasses for 2 racks at the beggining of the year..... i fuckin love it.
Thats in the living room and my LG 60' tru slim plasma (RAC be pushin em feyo) went to the bedroom...
i prefer the plasma for regular tv and movie watching... that trueCinema or whatever it is that makes tv shows and older movies look like home camcorder footage bothered me at first..(i got over it).. but for games its amazing and my wife brought home world warZ 3D when it came out and the 3D movies are amazing... before that bluray i had only watched it on DirecTV on demand.. where it was coo too but not as dope

That's kinda what I worry about. Worried that if I spend too much yet it blows out a couple years from now. My bedroom is big enough that I could just move my 55 or 60 inch tv into there if I buy one and something dope or cheap was available a couple years from now. I have actually considered buying a projector for years. I have a pretty big living room and vaulted ceilings so I easily could. We have wood blinds which makes it plenty dark enough for it too. Still sorta thinking about getting one.
