Samsung Un55B7000 55 1080P Led Hdtv - The 7000 Beat My 650 Plasma And My Friend's Kuro

Just wanted everyone to know that over Olympics weekend, we had a guest who considers himself THE world judge of HDTV (you each know of someone like this....quote facts and figures all day...), and he owns a Pioneer KURO Plasma. According to him, it is the Gold Standard of big HDTV.

Well - there he was, sitting in our living room, totally silent as he watched the Olympics on our 7000 series HDTV. After a few minutes, he spoke up and told my wife and I that the picture was as good or better than his 'sacred' KURO! (I could tell he was sort of hissing out the words...)

He also noted that our Samsung UN55B7000 55 1080p LED HDTVlooked better in the daytime (this was on a Saturday afternoon in our living room with large windows on one side). Out of respect, I did not bring up the much bigger heat and power consumption of his KURO, to spare his feelings.....

Same guy called me this past weekend to ask more about it, and that he was out looking at buying one! Not that I was gloating or anything........

I of course just had to post this great compliment from a KURO owner to you all!  No question this is the best TV investment we have ever made.

Oh, our setup rocks the house: Comcast HD box into a Yamaha RXV765 receiver with 5 channel surround with ORB Audio MOD2 speakers and their 10" UberSub (killer combo-better than big theater sound, and Samsung BluRay player. We mounted the TV on the wall with hidden cables above a low boy where we store the equipment and DVD collection.  KURO? No - KUDO's - to Samsung for a job very well done.

Many folks still wonder about the newer LED/LCD vs. Plasma.  I was one of them. After months of research, I picked the 58" B650 Plasma.  It is always tough to audition in a store, but we felt it beat out the big LCD's.  Well - read on.

Had it 3 weeks, waiting for it to 'break in', which it did (the phosphors have to age and become uniform - took about 50 hours of viewing to achieve.)  Was able over time to get a great pic (in dynamic mode), but it never quite  looked as great as our Samsung 40" B630 upstairs.

Then I measured the power consumption after we noticed the heat coming off the screen. Uh - 550W average, with peaks up to 700W in certain brght movie scenes!  My wife and I play the set quite a bit, and some quick math told us the heat and cost was just too much a price to pay for something that will hang on the wall for years to come. Back to the stores for more auditioning.

After another few weeks of looking we bought the Samsung UN55B7000 55 1080p LED HDTV.

Almost the same size - but 1/4 the power after reading up on it.  Out of the box, this set looked as good or better than the plasma.  Black levels as good - color balance even better - My test BluRay that has a number of tough to get right grey/black scenes is Terminator Salvation. Looked better on the Samsung UN55B7000 55 1080p LED HDTV. I use that, and UP, which really tests the color saturation.

And this is in the default movie mode, which comes up when I use my Samsung BluRay player.

With minimal tweaking in Standard Mode, I got it looking even better.  No heat. Long term cost way down over the plasma.

SUMMARY - I was able to own both in my own home and do my own tweaking and comparing, and all things considered - The Samsung UN55B7000 55 1080p LED HDTV beat out the 58B650 plasma. Hope this provides some input for others that are trying to decide. Consider all the factors - the heat and power as well as the picture.

What's a better format in a tv; lcd, led, or plasma?

I've heard and read that plasmas produce better blacks, but LCD's have a faster refresh rate. Anybody out there own two--or even three, different formats and could tell me which one is better?

Long Story short:
Plasma is better for sports, large screens and movies.
LCD is better for video games and slow moving or static images.

Plasma tends to have more organic colours and it can capture motion much better. If you are a bigger is better person the plasma TV is more cost effective and better for screens over 50 inchs.

LCD can be used as a computer monitor easier and tends to better with video game colours because Plasma tends to make the artificial colours look cartoony.

Sony to ship 20-25 million LCD TVs in 2010, says Sony Taiwan
