well for ur viewing distance i would recommend a 40inch or atleast a 37inch.parasharenator said:
some people are just fine with 32inch,so in the end its upto you.
well i never said a company A is better then company B.all i said was the advantage of company A and B.
now S-IPS cannot be considered the best,nor can we say the SPVA or AMVA is best.if u look at what i have told earlier i only said that SPVA or AMVA based tvs like sony and samsung have the good edge in contrast and shadow detail.
well i didn't mention anything about local dimming or leds.
what i did say was that when manufactures like panasonic,LG,philips say the contrast they are talking about the dynamic contrast,which is achieved by dimming the entire backlight to get deeper blacks or brighten up the backlight to get brigher whites,this works only if the picture shown in the screen is completly black or complety white,but in reality the a image consits of black and white images etc at the same time,so what happens is that panasonic lg lcds dim the backlight,in doing so u will loose shadow details,since the tv will try to dim the backlight in order to give u better blacks but in doing so u will loose shadow details in areas of image that have low light for eg if the image as a dark alley or in areas of shadows.
the SPVA and AMVA lcds on the other hand can show deeper blacks and brighter whites at the same time without the need of dimming the backlight,their contrast levels or on par with best plasmas from panasonic.
if u look in the internet when one compares a plasma to a lcd,the lcd compared is most of the time a sony or samsung which have high native contrast like plasma.the lcds from panasonic,LG,hitachi,some philips and toshiba models doesn't stand a chance in the contrast department.
regarding plasmas the chances of burn in is still there but u have to try realy hard to get it.plasma do give out more glare then some lcds.all sony models have matte finish so glare is minimized.
the colors in plasma or lcd are very SUBJECTIVE varies from person to person,generaly samsung is know to have a slight edge in color department it also has the edge in contrast compared to LG.
also regarding FHD 32inch at 10 feet is a waste of money,u can't see the benefits of FHD unless u sit about 5 feet or less on 32inch.
my take on 1920x1080 LCD;
1.Samsung B530 or LG scarlet 2.0
or
2.Samsung p550 or LG JAZZ
The Leaning factor:
considering that my last CTV survived for like 19 years,,and I hope the newer one would go for 10-15 years,,,
THE 1080P content about which adder was saying,,about to come soon...
{but wasnt 3G also supposed to come long back.I agree in this case scenario is different,,and span of period is also quite long..)
But don't US channels display only 720p content as of now,,atleast that's what i get to download as of now!
and lastly,,Peace of mind,,considering the longevity factor,,,and future-resolution blitzkrieg
b/w the lg and samsung i would go for the samsung,but if u are looking at ur tv to last 10 to 15 years,well i am not sure about the future of plasma even in 5 years time,so i am not sure about support from 10years from now.
10years from now OLED would have taken over from lcds as the standard.
so in the 32inch lcds i would look at samsung B530 or the sony S550A(street price is around 43k),u can also buy them in the grey market cheaper by atleast 5k.
if its the plasmas well the no 1 leader and firm promoters of plasmas are panasonic so we may have better support in the long run.since their plasmas sell more then their lcds,unlike samsung and lg where their lcds sell more then plasmas.
