tmassey Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I really like the D8000 series Samsung LEDs. They are expensive, but I really don't think I have seen a better display. Calibrated correctly, and I think the colors are right on, the detail is ridiculously good, and there is extremely little motion blur. But for the price, you could pick up a pair of Klipschorns and probably have some money left over. Haven't had a chance to check out the new LED ESXXXX stuff, looks pretty nice.

jhoak Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Congrats on the new TV Bill. I love my LG plasma. When I was shopping the plasma sets just looked SO much better than the LCDs to me. Mine came from Sears at a really good deal being last year's model (at the time) on clearance. I take advantage of 0% for XX months for major purchases whenever I can. However I manage the $$ a little differently that previously mentioned. My last couple of employers allowed multiple direct-deposit deductions and they could be sent to different banks. I have a savings account at a credit union that does not have a branch in my town. When I bought something big I figured out the bi-weekly amount to pay it off one month before the end of the term. I then set up a direct deposit for that amount. The last time I had a major purchase financed this way (a big oak entertainment center) my direct-deposit split was: 15% of the net to savings at BoA, fixed $ amount to credit union, and balance to BoA checking. 35 months (or whatever) later I drive a couple of towns over, withdrawl the $$ and pay off the purchase. By not having a branch near by it makes it difficult to access the $$. I also get whatever little bit of interest the funds draw while they're sitting there. Under a half a pervent interest on a savings account... Really? There is however a downside to doing this. So far I've had Rooms to Go and Sears both cancell my accounts after I took advantage or their 0% offers too many times. I guess they're pretty much counting on people to NOT pay off the purchase at the end of the term and get ticked at those who do. Oh well...

I am still exploring and very intrigued with what this TV can do. I take advantage of 0% for XX months for major purchases whenever I can. I have bought many things this way over the years and have not paid one red cent of interest in doing so. Most have been paid off way before the final due date, some even within just a few months as I plan to do this time. As Youthman has mentioned many times, the best way(and safest) is to pay CA$H when the money is saved up first. No enslavement at all to the credit card companies.[Y] Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have the UN55D7000LF. I also have a very nice Panasonic Plasma display. The Samsung just kills it all the way around. I do not like auto motion plus -- I have that turned off. I think with these edge lit LEDs, the 240Hz refresh rate is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Ehh , haven't seen anything that can touch my 3.5 year old 6020fd Kuro . Hopefully it will last until glasses free 3D tv's become mainstream . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo33 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Bill, you're not as crazy as I am when it comes to Klipsch Heritage speakers impulse buy. Though I bought a Panny Plasma 51" TV for $599 a couple years ago and I thought that was cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
