All right. I need advice. I have a budget of $500.
Should I get this LG 42", 720p 3D plasma? Or TCL 40" 1080p LCD
?
Mind you, it doesn't have to be a 3D TV, or even these brands, but the budget has to be $500. If there's a TV that isn't a 720p plasma or 1080p LCD in my price range that's better, I'm open to it.
Background:
- This will not be used with my PC (I already have a gaming tower); I do plan on doing some light console gaming, since I haven't owned a console in years. Keyword is light: I am a PC gamer.
- Purely for watching TV, mostly sports. I suppose I'll watch some Blu Ray movies in the future, and a Blu Ray player will be a future purchase; however, I don't know how often I'll use the player.
- Does not need to be a smart TV or anything. I have a computer to browse the internet, and prefer watching Netflix at my computer anyway.
- I will be about 8 feet from the TV (minimum of 7.5 feet).
What I want:
***- I want the best quality picture that my $500 can buy.***
- I wouldn't mind it being 3D, but it's by no means a requirement, and I'll happily trade that feature for a better quality picture.
Couple questions:
- At my viewing distance (~8 feet; minimum of 7.5 feet), will I notice a difference in picture quality with 1080p--even if it's LCD--versus a 720p plasma (assume a 40-42" TV)?
- Do LCD TVs still suffer from motion blur? For that matter, do plasmas still suffer from burn in?
Thanks in advance, guys.
