Should be able to get a 50" Panasonic plasma for under $1k.

WoW have a 60" Lg Plasma for $999
no idea what model though.

Lg 50" 3d Plasma $793 @WoW

Might go to WoW first then JBs.

LED is the shit

p.s. get a LED from Samsung Series 7 or better yo

While I don't have a series 7, I've got a series 4 and 5 I think and they are good TVs.

i just bought a panasonic GT30 full 3d etc tv - plasma

I chose the pana because of superior reviews on Whirlpool and other places... but why plasma? i was actually going to buy either the samsung LED unbelievably nice screen something 8000 or the pana.... and was half persuaded to the samsung until i said the magic word... play me some sport!

watching One HD and a game of soccer... every time they passed the ball and the camera "panned" the whole screen blurred wtf!

bought the panasonic and all my friends are like ... WHOA awesome screen, awesome pic quality etc

:)

I need a new TV, but I think I will have to wait until next year sadly.

I grabbed this http://goo.gl/IJVW8 Sammy Surround Sound, RRP on site is $699 sticker price was $549 I asked the guy what's the best price he could do as I was buying today. Come back at said $395, BAM done!!

I said I'll collect from pickup later, had other things to look at, get to the depot and they had given it away so I hammed it up and got another $45 off and free delivery, $350 for a surround system is damn good. I do want a full component system BUT I am in a unit so this will be more then enough IMO.

I nearly got the 55" Hi-Sense(mostly because i cant fit a 60 in) for $895 JB
But the line-up was like 20+ ppl waiting so i gave up.

They had a 60" Lg Plasma i think for $995
had 3D (I think 3D is gay though I havent seen Sport in 3D yet)

The 55" hi-Sense is great value.
comes with a 3 year full in-home replacement if you have a problem.
extremely low power use too.
great picture.

I think SD Foxtel/FreeToAir looks better on LED/LCD

just buy what you think looks best.

Keep in mind, they might have the display settings on "DYNAMIC" or whatever looks super colourful, but when you get it home - thats not what you're going to want.

Check the TV's are on "standard" picture settings and have a listen to the built in sound (especially if you're not getting surround sound) most people dont use surround sound for TV.

For the past month JB has had the Samsung series7 LED priced at just under $2700...I went in there yesterday and the price was jacked back up to $2999. Cocks.

Yeah Blu-ray + >= 50" Plasma == fucking eye candy. Bonus point if the said Plasma has been adjusted so the colour is not all fucking in "dynamic" mode i.e. colour and contrast all the way up.

I'm so itching to get a new screen > 55"..... specially when the prices are fucking insaaaaaaanely cheap for Plasma.. Am kicking myself that I bought a small 32" LED a few months ago (cheap for the bedroom now the remote is fucked :/).. I should've just move the current one into the bedroom and get a masssive one instead *sigh*

Enjoy your new toy Faceman.

err they are advertising the 1tb thing already

either that or I got an email, because I've read about it a week or two back...

Foxtel HD is sex

picked this up yesterday. seems to go good for the price

picked up a 50" ST Panasonic Plasma for $899

gg

Just dont worry about 3D Fooknookle.

Get the 65" :D

I've got a 50" pana in the media room and a 50" LG in the bedroom above the built in robes, I can't justify money for a bigger screen, but I can to go 3D :) More to the point the 3D TV is a gift, therefore lets go 3d and at the same time bigger to 60"
Then the pana 50" can go in the lounge or out on the patio and the 3d in the media room. I just hope it will hang on the wall without some expensive wall bracket. Should be able to use the old one as it's heavy as all hell.
I was never really that interested in 3d but I've been impressed with what I've seen in the shops.

Yes Faceman, we watch movies with other people, also sometimes we talk to them. We have other couples often and can fairly often end up watching a movie at some point.

Bullshizzal Faceman, I've been checking them out the good ones have an incredible "field of 3D"horizontal but not vertical but that won't be a problem unless your lying down on the floor or hanging from the roof.

So.. now that I've somewhat justified my position, how bout those active shutter 3D glasses ay :)
Does no one want a 3D TV?

I don't know yet Faceman that's why I'm going in tomorrow to check the TV out first.
I know full well I may not be happy with it and will check out other TVs while I'm there.

But I need the full picture to make a proper decision when comparing so...
Again I ask, does any one know if active shutter 3d glasses are brand specific or if 3rd party ones are as good or even better?

3D tv's are good, it's just that there's nothing really worth watching on them. There are only three movies so far that I thought have looked awesome in 3D that I have seen. They are Tangled, Avatar and Tron Legacy.

The biggest downfall with 3D is the glasses. They need to come up with a set of glasses that have one continuous lens from left to right. Not two separate lenses like they do now. Having two lenses makes things distracting and you can see the rims too easily which is annoying.What they need is something like those visors firemen wear to protect their face. Something huge like that so you don't see anything but the screen in front of you.

Also, watching 3D stuff during the day sucks if there is light anywhere in the room. Even closing the curtains doesn't do enough to stop it from being annoying seeing light from your peripheral vision. A dark room is best.
