Default New TVs

My main TV had an electrical issue and blew out the bulb, some cooling fans that I replaced and then was still having issues and I don't feel like spending a few hundred dollars to fix up an older TV, so I am just going to buy a new one.

See if anyone has these models out there?

Samsung UN46B8000
Samsung UN55B7100
LG 55LH90

There was a couple others, but I am narrowing the search to something more along these lines.

I'm not sure what exactly that means, but it sounds good.

Toshiba is a great brand to look at too. The Regza series is stunning.

I have the Samsung UN55B7100 and it is fucking AWESOME!!!! I got it at Best Buy on Thanksgiving weekend for $2k. I highly recommend this tv! Lots of cool internet features, super thin and an amazing picture for a decent price.

yeah the edge lit doesn't get as good of a rating. I have heard the 240Hz Samsungs aren't worth the price difference from the 120Hz 7000 series.

The LG has some cons, but seems to get awesome reviews and is said to be comparable blacks to baseline plasmas.

I am leaning toward the LG right now. It doesn't have the internet features or extras the samsung has, but they say the Samsung can't come close in terms of picture and colors.

i couldnt care less about the internet stuff, what sold me was the matte screen compared to the ultra gloss samsung. you need a low light room for that
