Hey guys,
I'm in the process of starting over with choosing a new tv for my mancave. I currently have a Samsung UN65D8000 that is being returned to Samsung for a refund. This was my third 65D8000 and all of them had the same problems, severe clouding, flashlighting, crosstalk and ghosting. I owned a 60D8000 and had very little to no clouding and flashlighting and no ghosting or crosstalk whatsoever in 3D. I loved the tv so much, I returned the 60" for a 65" and to my dismay, have had nothing but problems out of the 65" After talking with numerous people at Samsung, it was brought to my attention that there is a known defect in all of the 65" models. After hearing that, I've decided it's time to move on from that TV.
There are currently four tv's at the top of my list. And in no particular order they are
Samsung UN65ES8000 (should be available by late June or early July)
Sharp LC-80LE844U
Panasonic 65VT50
Mitsubishi L75-A94
Before people start throwing stones at me, I realize I left off two very important and well performing TV's. The Sharp Elite XFD and the Sony HX929. Plain and simple, the Sharp is too expensive and after viewing a demo of the Sony 65HX929 at Fry's Electronics, I was not impressed by the 3D picture. Sorry Sony owners, too much ghosting and crosstalk for my taste.
After looking at my top four choices, you'll notice there are two major features I'm looking for. Screen Size and 3D! I just cannot go below a 65" especially because I enjoy 3D. It's meant to be seen on as big a screen as possible. Right now my gut is saying either the Samsung or Mits. The reason I say that is mainly due to the fact that I like displays that POP! Now again, please don't trash me for this but I like to keep my TV backlight up, contrast up and colors popping. I don't like turning the backlight down and going for those realistic and dull colors. I also like keeping the motion enhancers cranked up and prefer the soap opera look. I know that's considered a sin on these forums but it's my preference. I'm looking for free major factors here. Screen Size, 3D Performance and 2D picture quality. If I can find at least one tv that has two of these as titles, then that's what I'm looking for. Any help, suggestions or comments are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!
