Okay, so Im looking into FINALLY upgrading our 90's TV to a Flatscreen! Yah!
But there's so much to decide. Ive done some research already but I still have some questions.
1) LCD or LED?
- Which is safer? (I have children so this is a concern for us)
- With our usage (see below) is one better or would there be little to no difference?
- I don't want pictures blurring when we watch action scenes. Is this an issue?
2) We need to be able to use the internet on it.
(one of the things we want to do is to watch live webcasts (i think they are called)) But also things that I download to my computer or videos from Hulu or youtube. etc etc.
INFO:
Usage:
We don't have cable. (and we don't want it)
All we do is watch movies (DVD's) or things I've downloaded off the computer or play xbox 360 on it.
(I might/probably will someday upgrade to a BluRay player. Maybe next year)
Pricing:
I would like at VERY LEAST 42", but preferably 46"-50". (I gotta try to keep the pricing around the $600-$700 mark if possible. (I can probably go $750ish if need be, but $800 is definite a cap)
Internet:
We have wireless capability. Connecting a cable to my router is not an option as our computer is on the opposite end of the house.
Location:
The TV will be 12 OR 19 feet from us (depending on where we put it)
That's all the info I can think would be pertinent. Feel free to ask me anything else that might be useful.
That's about the extent of it.
Any help is appreciated my friends!
Thanks!
Here are some TV's I am looking at from Walmart.com:
LED
Philips 46" Class LED-LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV, 1.57" Slim Design, 46PFL7505D/F7 - $749
VIZIO 42" Class Razor LED-LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV, 1.99" Ultra-Slim Design, M420NV - $669
LCD
VIZIO 47" Class LCD 1080p HDTV 120Hz,E470VL - $709 (this one is not currently in stock and so may not be available at this price)
Let me know if you guys need any more info!
I have read your comments thus far and I really appreciate the help.
