    Looks like a good one to me. Price might be a little high. With infinite combos of quality and price, who the **** knows. Do the best you can. I'm a plasma guy, but the market seems to not be. Looks good though

    I was looking plasma originally, but they seem to be getting phased out which makes me nervous to buy one. Plus, in Ocala, they are becoming harder to find.

    I know I'm not supposed to go by the picture I see in the showroom, but goddamn that was a clean picture. The moving text that came up on the screen was retina display quality....no pixelation. (Probably not the way to tell if a picture is good, but it made me sport a chub.)

    In all fairness to me, its not like you're blameless. You've really started to let yourself go. I mean maybe get the Cheetoh dust off your fingers before you come to bed, for example.

    My advice is to get the biggest TV you can afford that will fit in the space you have.

    Which makes no sense to me, yeah its over there but dont look at it.

    Someone said the stores have control features that really boost picture quality, but damn-it I'm looking at what I'm buying. Sure I'll do the research but I'm still looking.

    LG is making the best set on the market today. Best picture, most state-of-the-art tech. Cannot go wrong with LG.

    Big mistake. Worst picture quality ever!

    I bought these about 18 months ago and still nothing

    And forget about getting any kind of satisfaction from there trouble shooting department. They just laugh when I call now, very frustrating.

    Its probably stupid, but I had an LG cell phone once and it was so bad I swore to never buy anything from the brand again.

    Torch mode does not boost picture quality.


    It isn't that you're not supposed to look, it's that you aren't supposed to base your whole decision on how it looks in the store. And the reason why you're not supposed to make decisions by showrooms alone is because they are that "showrooms". Most every person places their display in a significantly different environment than that in a store, so the picture and performance of any given set will look invariably different depending on one's settings (both internal and external).

    bigbry, you are supposed to climb inside and turn it on... for the true 3D experience.
