i was looking to get either a 55 inch plasma, or a 55 inch samsung led tv. the price differences are only 400 dollars. the led being at 1,999. whats would be best?
I'd like to see where the hell you plan on getting a 55" Samsung LED for 1,999. The lowest I can find a 55" Samsung LED online is on Amazon for 2,899. I bet you are confusing LED with LCD. There are 55" Samsung LCD's for 1,999. But there is no way in hell you are finding an LED LCD for 1,999.
I think the new Samsung series 6 & 7 LED LCDs look fantastic. They're a little expensive but the contrast is very acceptable. They also sip power even compared to other LCDs let alone plasmas. A 46" series 6 consumes 105W which is simply unreal.
Power consumption is probably why plasma and LCD CRTs are ultimately doomed. I know some plasmas try to pull off power saving such as analysing ambient conditions to determine power consumption, but even the most sophisticated like Vieras still use double the power of an LED LCD.
The EU will soon start mandating visible energy ratings on TVs. When consumers are faced with one TV with an A or A+ rating and another (a plasmas) with a C or D, they're obviously going to favour the former.
my hhgreg right now is having a crazy sale (yes i know its an led tv i promise) at hhgreg it looks much clearer, but i do know they do some trickery so that is why i asked thank you everyone
The contrast and colors on the B6000 and B7000 series edge-lit Samsung LED LCDs are fine; and it's no contest in the power consumption area. The edge-lit LED LCDs use much less power - no argument there!
But when it all comes at the expense of uneven illumination of the screen, illumination levels that fluctuate depending on the content and absolute crap off-angle viewing, what's left to love?
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

a 55" LED for 1999? where?
Even if you COULD get a 55" Samsung edge-lit LED LCD for $1999, why would you want one? The edge-lit LED LCDs are crap!
