My Samsung LED has been fine, my only complaint is it has a pretty poor view angle (colors drop off noticably unless you're directly in front of it) and the onboard audio is complete shit when compared to any other TV (Not that this matters to 90% of us, but this TV happens to be a wall mount in my gun room).

What model Samsung do you have? My last one and my newest one do not have any issues with view angle.Originally posted by CJ View PostComment

Samsung UE42F5500, I knew this going in, all the reviews stated it had poor viewing angles. And it certainly does. I bought it a few months ago and it was the current model. It's not one of the ultra slim LED's, which probably have better viewing angles. Overall I'm happy with it.Originally posted by bluecollar View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

thanks a lot guys, if you happen to see a deal on a 70 please let me know.
As for the vizio, I might consider one. Sams has them on sale for 1300, do they have the extended warranties like costco? Does costco price match?Comment

Just an FYI, I sell large LEDs at my pawn shop. Nothing bigger than 60" right now, but we've got some good deals.Comment

The thing that will go out with the Samsung LED will be the DLP chip most likely. It is known as the White Dot issue and is most prevalent with certain models. Not that expensive to fix and you can do it yourself. If your lucky you can talk them into a one time complimentary fix. I did it with two TV's out if warranty.
I have a Panasonic Plasma. Absolutely love the picture. My observation of the whole smart BS is it is a waste of money. There is nothing it does I cannot do with my laptop, XBOX, or PS3. The stupid thing when connected to my wireless slows my internet connectivity over wireless down. I get these stupid advertisements popping up all the time. I went and disabled it. So now on power up it just asks me if I want to enjoy the features of it, which I am like hell no to.
I don't know I am just one of those people who like to do certain things on certain devices. Facebook etc is not something I want to perform on my TV. Maybe using it as a monitor yes but not as the computing device.

Fairly certain LED tvs don't have DLP chips in them.Comment

He's referring to the LED backlit TV's. Like a hybrid rear projection TV but it uses LED for illumination instead of a bulb. I'm sure the OP is talking about buying a true LED panel TV, where that would not apply.Originally posted by CWO View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

do a quick search for Samsung HLT6187SAX 61-Inch Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV
Yup.. haven't been staying much up with all the new stuff. Got too damn many TV's already. The Panny should be the last one I need for about 10 years I am hoping.Originally posted by CJ View PostComment

I'm well aware of the DLP chip issue. I was making a killing from buying "bad" Samsung DLPs on Craigslist for $50, getting them fixed for free and selling them for $200.Comment

Do they even make those DLP/LED hybrids anymore?Comment

No clue man, glad you were able to make money on that deal. Didn't know you were aware of it and I know others were not. The fact there are some still being sold is why I brought it up.Originally posted by CWO View PostComment

I bought a 55" Samsung plasma several years ago for $50 with the intention to replace the power supply. Before I replaced it I called Samsung and found out the TV was still under warranty, lol. They fixed it and it ran about another ~4 hours and shit the bed again. I fixed it that time and then sold the nightmare.Originally posted by CWO View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
