I'm currently working on building a HTPC. At the same time I'm trying to find a new TV and hope to find recommendations here.
These are my requirements so far:
- LED (I was considering a Plasma before and like their picture quality while being cheaper than the new LEDs but changed my mind after reading about their heat and the image burn in)
- 50'' (everything below what would be too small while a 55'' or 60'' would be awesome but much more expensive in relation to the few inches more I would get)
- 1080p Full HD
- 3D only nice-to-have but not a must (I'm still not convicted by the home 3D technologies but more than happy to let someone convince me)
- can live without fancy apps and social TV whatsoever thingies (am building a HTPC box anyways)
- Budget: around 1,000 EUR (I'm not on a shoestring and can spend more but don't want to burn money either)
I was looking around a lot (have to add that I'm living in Bangkok where it can be difficult to find certain hardware or products) and so far I liked:
- Samsung for its picture quality and flat panels
- Sony for its picture quality and overall style, though seemed to be comparably more expensive
- LG for its 3D (was the only TV that I tried which really surprised me positively regarding 3D)
Opinions welcome!
