I'm in the market for a new TV and my first inclination is to purchase an LED TV with as many Hz as possible. Scouring Best Buy's website, I came across this particular TV:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/TCL+-+5...=1218748044605&skuId=6505302&st=tcl&cp=1&lp=6
It's 55" LED with 240Hz for a pretty outstanding price given the specs. However, it's from an unknown manufacturer. Reviews online for the product pretty much conclude that it's a good deal for the price. However, I'm now thinking that maybe I want to switch over to a Plasma, so this TV from BB has caught my interest:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG---60...HDTV/4846756.p?skuId=4846756&id=1218551140821
I'm not trying to start a LED VS Plasma discussion, but I'm trying to decide if LED is really the hotness that everyone says it is or if I'm just caught up in wanting what everyone else wants. Right now I have a 47" LCD Samsung (60 Hz) so I'm really just looking for something that will be a significant upgrade. All I've ever heard from people is to stay away from Plasmas but doing some research last night tells me there really isn't much of a reason to stay away.
My TV will primarily be used for movies and games. I understand that Plasma has better black levels for low-light rooms (which is what I have) but I haven't heard much about it in terms of gaming. Is there an advantage of one over the other in terms of gaming? Unfortunately I feel like the employees at Best Buy are always trying to sell me whichever TV is on sale so I can't get a good answer from them one way or another, so that's why I'm turning to CAG for advice.
