Customer Question

I'm looking to buy a new TV, but not sure which one to buy. Can you please give me a list of your top 5 favorite ones, and your thoughts on why each is good? I would love a review from a TV expert. I don’t have a budget in mind because I don’t really know what TVs cost these days or what features are available, so I would appreciate TVs from a range of prices. thanks!!

Seriously.

Samsung panels are the best in the industry - as they make panels for just about every manufacturer out there.
Not only is the product that good - the support is outstanding. The best I have ever had to work with. They go out of their way to satisfy customers that have a support problem. They routinely extend warranties to cover parts... cover the part if you cover the labor when out of warranty.... and will sometimes give the full purchase price for a new set should your TV not last as long as you think it should have.

A-1 in my book.

That said - it is very important to know what type of setting the TV will be in... and what type of shows you watch... fast action sports, movies, etc.

There are 3 types of TVs out there
LCD, LED, and plasma.

LCD is for brighter lit areas and has the fastest response time.
Plasma is for dim rooms with little to no light - and is best for movies.
LED is a mix between the two... it is an LCD response rate... with warm colors like a plasma.... but a tad more expensive than the previous 2 types.

Let me know what type of room, and what type of material you will be watching the most, and I can give you a few suggestions in different price ranges.

You should really head over to Samsung's website and take a look at the offerings.

Are you going to be connecting to the internet with your TV?
Streaming movies?
Playing video games?
Do you have or plan on having a surround sound system?

All very important when deciding what TV to go with.

Let me know if you require further.

Ok - people's living rooms are different - is there a lot of sunlight - or is it mostly flourescents when you are watching?

Customer replied 265 days and 14 hours ago.

I have pretty good natural light in there. And i also like to watch tv at night without lights on.

Ok - a few final questions....

Approximately what are the dimensions of the room, and distance you will be viewing from?

Room area = ??? sq fet or ??ft x ??ft.

And

Distance from TV to chair/couch/bed = ??ft.




Thanks

Customer replied 265 days and 10 hours ago.

wow you are getting very specific. I guess the room is about 15 x 15? and the TV is about 8 feet from the couch

It's very important to determine the size of the panel. You don't want too large of a TV in your room - as your head will be going back and forth watching the action - instead of your eyes.


The recommended size of TV with an 8 foot viewing distance - in a 15 x 15 room is 40" to 46"

Obviously - the smaller the screen (all other things equal) the smaller the price.

Samsung's new line of smart TVs is amazing. They are coming out with models with voice remotes, hand motion controls, and more - CLICK TO READ

Any blue text is clickable:

Most Popular Samsung LED is the 8000 series. CLICK HERE
Samsung is running a special at retailers right now offering your choice of a sound bar, Blueray, Etc. with purchase - FYI.

If you'll be surfing... you can add a full qwerty keyboard RMC-QTD1AP2/ZA


The best non-smart LCD model would be the 630 series - CLICK HERE

The only non-Samsung LED TV I would recommend is...

Sony KDL-HX850 series CLICK

If you have additional - Just Ask.

Thanks!!
