In Terms Of Picture Quality, Which Samsung Hdtv Is Best? Lcd, Plasma Or Led?
It would also be helpful if you can recommend a Samsung 50″ 1080p television costing around €1,700 for me based on the answer. I’m confused :3

Plasma will deliver you the best overall image, especially in a TV of that size. It will provide better blacks, colors, and contrast, just inherent to the technology. It will also provide better playback of fast motion images as its response time is near instantaneous (like that of CRT). But you do want to condition it. For the first 100-200 hours of use, crank the brightness and contrast down to warm up the gasses. Then optimize it and enjoy.
LED LCD is the best kind of LCD on the market. By using the LED backlight those LCD HDTVs are able to vastly improve their colors, blacks, and contrasts. They are not quite as good as a Plasma, but are getting damn close (and for many, close enough that they couldn’t tell). But they are still inherently weak on fast motion and suffer from motion blur issues. Hence the 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates (or I guess 100Hz and 200Hz for you).
LCD is the everyman HDTV. For the mid-range sizes they are just cost effective and accessible. If you want to move into an HDTV at a low cost they’re the way to go for most people. So they serve their purpose in the consumer landscape.
Pioneer Kuro Elites are the best Plasmas out there period, but cost a fortune. More within your budget I would look to a Panasonic Viera 850/800 series Plasma HDTV. I think that would be your best image. Or this year’s model is the TC-L50G10. The S1 is also a decent option and a bit cheaper.
If you’re sold on Samsung though, their Plasmas are solid options as well. Any of the PS50A556 – A558 should be fine. I’m not sure what the subtle differences are with those 3 sets, but can’t image its vastly different considering they’re all 5 series TVs.
Plasma is the best in terms of picture quality…followed closely by LED…then regular LCD.
Dollar for dollar, Plasma is the way to go if you’re looking for the best picture quality! LED backlit LCD’s are close to Plasma’s, but not quite there yet…plus LED LCD’s are very, very expensive!!!
Pioneer is the best Plasma TV brand in the world, but they’ve stopped making TV’s and finding a TV now is slim to none! However, that may mean that you’ll find a awesome deal on one too!
Panasonic comes in 2nd place(soon to be 1st) in Plasma TV quality followed right behind by Samsung. I highly recommend either one of these two! Here are my recommendations:
I highly recommend these Panasonics(infinite dynamic contrast ratio!):

Panasonic 50″ 1080p (1,200 euro): http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-elect…

I thought LCD was the way to go for a long time, and then I went to work for an A/V integrator. Our engineers actually thought plasma was a better picture and value, so that’s the way I ended up going. After doing a lot of research, I went with Consumer Report’s top-rated plasma, which was the Samsung PN50A550. It’s a 1080p that I purchased on Amazon for $1407. Currently, it’s selling for $1795, but I’ve seen it for less than I paid at the same place!
I love this TV and it’s every bit as good as advertised. You can save yourself a lot of time and research – just order this TV. You may want to wait for another price drop, since I’ve never seen it go for this much on Amazon. It was $1253 at one time. Plus, it was delivered and placed on my hearth for me – all included.
You will NOT be dissappointed with this set, I assure you. I’ve had it for 2 1/2 months and I still get excited when I turn it on.
