Our 60" TV died.

[Bricktop]

It serviced us well...but it might have waited 6 months until after our UK tour...



Replacement is an LG 65" monster that weighs about half of the plasma.



However, when going through the usual shopping for TV experience ("Thats got a better picture". "No, that one over there.") I couldn't help notice an LG TV for 30 grand...and the salesman told us that they had sold one the previous day.



30 grand for a TV???



Well, the HD porn should shine on that beast.

LG's are crap, Sony or Samsung for me.

Samsung is what I like, good picture for the price. Sony you pay for the name, but the picture is good too lol.

And what tv is 30k? I know the 4k use to be high, but now they cheap too.

We have two tv's. One is a Panasonic and the other is an RCA. No complaints with either of them.

The one that just died is a Samsung. Gave us too much grief, really. Image quality was good, though.



Asked the tech who declared our TV dead what is the best replacement and all he said was "Anything but Sony". When I checked Sony out, they were around 20% dearer than anything else with no appreciable difference in performance and quality. Sony used to rule the TV world...not anymore.



The LG look a little clearer and had richer colours. The comparable Samsung was also very good, but $200 more...which tilted us to LG.



Also, according to our consumer organisation, Choice, LG is the stronger performer in terms of reliability and support.



I would have gone with either, but $200 is $200.

30K is $30,000!!!



For a TV!!!

We bought our Samsung LED almost 10 years ago and it's still going strong. I keep expecting it to die. No reason in particular.

Ours was a plasma..its time was up.

We had a forty two inch Panasonic plasma once..



It was reliable, but so is our LG we have now.

Well I know that lol, I mean what made it that high? Some new technology I hadnt heard of yet? Best I knew was 4k LED, with a curved screen, like 70" or something.

My 52" Samsung LCD, damn good picture, still going after 10 years as well (knocks on wood) and its gotten a LOT of use.

Always heard plasma wouldnt last as long, and thats what made my mind up to get the LCD back then.

Curved screen tv's are still expensive.

Curved screens suck anyway.
