I was looking at AVS forum and the ST50 seems like a great TV.

What about the Sharp Elite Pro can anyone give any opinions on this tv?

This is an LCD but it was rated the best TV of 2011.

Would any Samsung Plasma compare to the Panasonic ST50 in terms of picture quality?

Or is the ST50 still the benchmark...

What about the UT50A?

NVIDIATI

Cool. Is the 2012 ST50 in stores yet?

I see it at dicksmith.com.au but i don't know if it's the 2011 or 2012 model. JB HI-FI doesn't seem to have it on they're website...

Ok so The ST50 looks good. It's around $1500 bucks which is half the price of this Samsung i bought.

What does the VT50 have over this panel? it's over double the ST50's price...

So why is Plasma better?

Everywhere i read it says LED/LCD is superior

NVIDIATI

Plasma will have deeper blacks (which allows for greater contrast ratio), better colour accuracy, better handling of motion leaving a very natural picture.

LCD/LED often uses different types of up-scaling to try and improve PQ. Although LCD/LED can reach a deeper black, the picture remains inconsistent as there aren't enough backlights as there are pixels. Meaning an area which may have a very deep black will be washed out as a nearby backlight may have to be switched on to display a colour.

I can see that the picture remains inconsistent even on this high end LED LCD...

I see what your saying and it looks like i will be taking this back to store for an exchange...

i'll be saving myself about 2 grand wow!

Thanks very much for the advice NVID.

Only thing is im not after a Plasma, just LED LCD...

I thought LED LCD was superior to Plasma for games?

NVIDIATI

Do you think the TV i bought is a waste of money?

I've been playing games on this UA55ES7500 a bit and i'm not very pleased with the quality sad to say for the amount of money i have spent.

What is the full name of the ST50?

Is this it?

Sorry i'm in Australia so the TV's exact code name might be different.

Hi, I've mainly been looking for an HDTV for gaming and i have been looking around my local stores primarily JB HI-FI and online and have found this TV.

I will also be using this TV for watching blu-ray movies and DVD's but want to have the best picture i can for Xbox 360 games.

The Samsung UA55ES7500:

http://www.bigbrownbox.com.au/samsung-ua55es7500-series-7-55-inch-140cm-full-hd-3d-led-lcd-tv/

It's a 55 inch LED LCD Smart TV from Samsung, it's around 3700-4000 retail but i purchased it for 3200 via a online quote from JB-HI FI.

Anyway im wondering what people opinions are on this TV and has anyone else purchased one/ used it?

I am trying to find the best TV picture quality wise that it can produce for awesome gaming for the Xbox 360 which is as smooth as possible.

My couch is about 10 feet away from the TV itself or about 275cm to 3m.

There is a 14 day return policy so if i have any problems with the TV itself or don't like the picture or something i can exchange it for another TV.

The other TV i was looking at is this Sony KDL55HX850:

http://www.bigbrownbox.com.au/sony-bravia-kdl55hx850-55-inch-140cm-hx850-series-full-hd-led-lcd-3d-tv/

Looking at the both TV's at the store in JB HI-FI watching a Blu-Ray movie on the Samsung the picture looked much more Vibrant, with deeper blacks as well as richer colours. The Sony looked good as well but the picture just looked more natural without the colours being so vibrant and the blacks seemed weak/light.

Just wondering what people's opinions are on these TV's and did i pick the best HDTV for Gaming when money isn't an issue?

Looking at some of the New LG and Panasonic TV's instore i didn't see that they're pictures we're close to the quality of Samsung's.

And if anyone has any recommendations for TV's that would also be good.

Thanks.
