Ok, let me start off by saying i've done a good deal of Research on LCD/LED/Plasma's and all the pro's and cons for the most part. With that in mind i'd like to explain my story abit without making this to lengthy.
I intially set out to get a nice 50+in HDTV for Gaming as well as the occasional Blueray movie. So i picked up the brand new Panasonic 50in Plasma S2, I noticed when i first hooked it up it didn't look as nice as my dad's 46in samsung 500serie LCD. I took this with a grain of salt cause i heard people say some of the plasma's require a breakin period/warm up for the colors to really be vibrate.
The first thing I did with this TV was Set it on the Game mode and play alittle COD4 MW2( Online First person shooter for those that don't know), at first i wasn't overall impressed, but for some reason i was able to have a faster reaction on the majority of the people i encounter and my K/D(Kill to death ratio) went through the roof. I was like damn, could a tv really do this ?
So I watched Transformers 2 (My benchmark movie for HDTV's) and wasn't that impressed with the "greens" and sure enough after alittle of research on here I saw a Calibrator on this forum talk about the Gamma and the Cyan/Greens of the tv being horrible and that particular model being a flop.
So I returned the TV for the a Samsung 52" LCD 240Hz LN52B750U1F model TV, honestly the picture is abit sharper but for some reason the MW2 game seems laggy to me and overall just am not happy with it (Especially since it cost me 550$ more for it)
Do you think more calibrations can be done to the Samsung (Already tryed some of the ones on this forum and CNet) or is the lag just that bad on this tv ? Im seriously consider switching back to a Plasma for the cost/performance ratio. Any sugggestions ?
Thanks !!!
