I have read on cnet etc but I am still confused if I should get a plasma or lcd, what are the pros and cons of both? Also I have heard that 1080p resolution is overrated because none of the networks are going to be broadcasting anytime soon in 1080p. Should I not concern myself with 1080p?

When I was growing up, televisions where making the transition from black and white to color, and oh what a marvelous day that was. Everything seems to come to life and I no longer felt like a dog watching television, (dog’s see in black and white). It wasn’t soon after that, that television screens started to get larger and larger and with this the price of televisions increased immensely. Technology started to improve and everyone had to have the best television in town. It was now becoming a status symbol to have the highest upgraded T. V.

Fast forward to today, times have not changed, in fact television has spawned into new horizons as the arrival of HDTV and WebTV have entered the market. More choices give consumers more opportunities to empty their wallets and pay for the next big television. In the early 1990’s projection television and home theaters were the big thing. This TV was comprised bulbs with primary colors that operated like a movie projector. These TV’s where quite large, and where perfect for the introduction for expensive home theaters.

In the later 1990’s flat screen television was new thing and this was also a great day for television owners, the days of a convex TV screen were coming to an end and consumers realized that this was not a gimic for us to buy more TV, but the picture actually looked much better. These new screens would set someone back around 1500-5000 dollars depending on how large you wanted the tv screen. Later, smaller and even compact TVs were offered at a much cheaper price; around 3-400 dollars. But TV didn’t stop there, in order to keep the market circulating, technology needed to increase so engineers went to work and then released the next big wave in the new century; Plasma TV.

Plasma and digital television provided us with a wondering viewing experience as well as the picture was highly improved. In watching this you actually felt like it was real as everything on screen took shape, now TV was competing with movie theaters. Carmike and other large companies realized this and also worked on improving the quality of their motion pictures. They don’t stand up to the new Plasma or a 17 inch LCD screen, but it is a definite improvement.

The old Televisions are gone, and you would be hard pressed to find a black and white TV, but oh the experience of owning a plasma screen TV, this is an experience you definitely do not want to miss!

I purchased this Samsung LN46A650 LCD TV some time after it was available at Amazon and it is everything I have really expected. I spent more than a year and a half researching flat panel TVs. I came close to buying a Samsung 71F series, but then I decided to hold and do more even more research on those models. I was almost about to purchase the 5 series, but when I found out that it doesn?t actually have 120hz refresher rate, I decided that I better research the 6 series and ended buying Samsung LN46A650 LCD TV. As you have probably read outside of the several hundred dollar premium for the Sony brand, the main difference is that the Samsungs specially have a shiny screen so in high light rooms there can be some reflection compared to the matte XBR screens. I generally can control the light levels during the time I’m viewing the TV so the vibrancy of the Samsung in mid/low light conditions made me choose Samsung LN46A650 LCD TV. The appearance of the bezel of this set even received attention with an amazing piano black finish that includes a hint of beautiful amber color giving the TV an original artistic style for a great accent to home decor. First you’ll find immediately that the picture processing power of this Samsung LN46A650 LCD TV is really astounding. The set contains a 50,000:1 contrast ratio in addition to a blazing-fast 4 ms response time. Equally as important is the Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology which functions to eliminate motion blur in film and television and adds frames to images . This TV is highly great for the fast moving action that shows on television, movies, and video games. Samsung LN46A650 LCD TV also has 1080p/24 support which brings video imagery one step closer to exactly recreating the original photography of film when combined with a compatible Blu-ray player. All of these combined processing this TV incredible detail and clarity when compared to other LCD TVs and it undoubtedly has to be seen to be believed. This TV offers a plethora of inputs including 2 components, VGA, 3 HDMI , and even standard composite to satisfy and meet all sorts of connection needs. Additional features for Samsung LN46A650 LCD TV include a unique “InfoLink” feature that allows the TV to grab weather forecasting , stock quotes , news updates , and sports scores from the internet when it is connected through the included Ethernet port to a home network. Another incredible feature is the “WiseLink” feature which allows direct play of music and view of images when a USB Thumb Drive is connected to this TV’s USB port. Copyright (c) 2009 Chris John
