Would you recommend a 32" for a bedroom?
Please correct me if I'm wrong NT.
But I think its relative. LED/LCD TV's gobble up less juice (more energy efficient) if you are a treehugger (i kid i kid). LED's are supposed to giveyou deeper true blacks compared to LCD's. There are different types of LED's though. The top end LED's like the Sony XBR8 have local dimming RGBas opposed to edge dimming white LED's (if you want a real basic crash course in LED's check out wikipedia). If you want to get the local dimming RGBLED TV, be prepared to spend a good chunk of change.
Honestly, the best bet is to go to the store and look at them side by side. That being said, go to a place that specializes in big screen tv's as they aremore likely to have the display TV's calibrated. I've been searching for a new TV for a minute now and was looking into them LED joints. After doingin-person side by side comparisons I was drawn to the Plasmas to tell you the truth. I dont really care about how much energy I burn up (an extra $100 a yearin my electric bill isnt gonna be a deal breaker). All I want is a bangin picture with little to no motion blur at a great price. I thought about goin forthe gusto and buying a discontinued Pioneer Kuro Elite but my bank account talked me out of it. Unfortunately I need sleep so I dont do the black friday thingand probably missed out on some pretty solid deals there.
As an impulsive buyer, I went into Best Buy today on my lunch break and walked out an hour later spending several months worth of beer money (looks like imdrinking water for the near future).
Best Buy is actually running a pretty decent deal right now for anyone in the market for a TV. This is what I ended up getting
Sony Bravia 52" Z5100 - 1080P 240Hz LCD TV
PS3 Slim 120GB (still got my OG PS3 so I gotta flip this)
Ugly Truth Blu-Ray Movie (it was either this, Year One, or Pelham 123. I guess my fiancee will watch this BS or I can fap to Katherine Heigl)
Uncharted 2 PS3
Total price was $1600+tax
The deal they are promoting right now is for the Bravia W5100 46" which is a 120hz set. If you go with the W-series its $1,099+tax for the package deal. I woulda got that but 46" is too small and I knew I would regret it the minute I brought it home.
