What is your opinion on the Samsung PN43D430? ~80% of the time the TV will be used for gaming in a dimly lit "cave", and I figured the plasma would do well there. It looks like its probably the best deal out there for us, but If you have any other suggestions on a sub-$500 40+ incher, I'd love to hear them.
@thebeetalls We do not offer the “430” model ourselves, but if it’s a Samsung product, you can be sure it’s very good quality. We offer the PN43D450 model which still suits your requirements and budget. Simply type our item number (30543D450) into the search window on the Crutchfield website.

this looks like a failed high school commercial project that students had to make for some movie class that they are taking, except that the students here about as old as my parents
When I bought a new HDTV, it was really easy. I looked up the #1 rated HDTV on the market, then I looked up the largest size it comes in, then I bought it.
Check out my channel for my 65" 3D TV and gaming setup. This setup is unmatchable to any other TV setup anyone can physically own at the moment.
To continue from my last comment, I am concerned because I want to purchase a 50 inch plasma television. As you can imagine, I don't want to dish out almost $2,000 knowing there is a extremely high % of this happening to me. I understand that the buzzing sound is from the fluorescent lights, ect, ect. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice, comments, or suggestions. Should I still lean towards a Samsung or is there something better I should look at.
I am glad you are asking these questions. I can tell you that if this was a problem with an extremely high percentage of Samsung TVs, we would do something about it. We stop carrying items that consistently perform poorly.
The truth of the matter is that the chances of this happening to you are extremely low. We know this from our customer feedback, the calls to our Tech Support department, and the few returns we've received.
@crutchfieldtv Thanks a lot for the quick response and information. I'm wondering if you could tell me a few quick facts about Plasma T.V's that are equipped with PC hookups. I'm interested in knowing if all Plasmas have the same type & quality hookups or is there any specific details/facts I need to be aware of when I look into PC to T.V connection.
I hope my question makes sense, if not I can definitely clarify what I'm asking. :-)
Your question makes perfect sense. In fact I just helped a friend connect his PC to his new 40" plasma. Now he can ignore my emails while sitting on his couch ten feet from his screen, too cool.
Most TV's have a VGA connection, the standard monitor output on most computers, along with an audio connection.
Some new PCs have HDMI outputs that will look better than VGA.
The best TV for gaming, for you is one that fits where you want to put it, has the connections you need, fits in your budget, and looks good to your eyes. I know that sounds kind of smart alek, but it's true.
You can't go wrong with plasma or LCD in general, you certainly want to get one that is 1080p, and if you go LCD, get one with a 120 or 24-hz refresh rate.
Call an Advisor at Crutchfield for a specific recommendation for you.
I've been reading a lot of complaints about Samsung plasma tv's making a buzzing sounds that range from loud to very loud. In either case, the noise tends to be very distracting. From my observation, and I don't know if this is just my conclusion or what, but the buzzing sounds seem to be connected to the larger screens, i.e. around 58 inches. Rather that is actual fact or not, I don't know I'm just basing it off of reviews I've read. Either way, I am highly concerned about this...
what does the 60hz mean? I noticed that different t.v.'s have 1080p/60hz, 1080p/80hz, 1080p/120hz what is the difference between the 60hz., 80hz, & 120hz? Also, I'm looking @ plasma t.v's that have the ability to hook up to my computer what are some of the technological things I should be looking for/at?

@lhart99 Hey mate the higher the "hz" the better response time and less lag you will receive (this is great for fast action scenes and gaming). Also if youre looking for features you need to hook up youre computer to youre tv (or vice versa) you should look out for a vga port that will plug into youre computer and (if youre computer is modern enough) a hdmi port. Hope this helped =)

hello. im thinking of buying a 32" samsung with 1080p 60hz with wide color enhancer. i couldn't find one of the same size with 120hz or 240hz so im setting for this one. but ive read lots of negative online comments about a clicking sound and screens taking time to turn on. what should i do???? buy it or not? also those problems were associated with sizes 40" and up.
We sell a lot of Samsung TVs and very few have problems. They make a good reliable product that our customers love.
That doesn't mean i can say the Samsung 32" 1080P/60hz is the right TV for you.

So, there is no shouting difference between Plasma and LCD than from them both to LEDtv?
-
and what we have to take in consideration whem buying it, is the dpi (1080dpi) to watch blu-ray and play games, Full HD too?
thanks
rodrigorenzo 2 years ago
Hi rodrigorenzo,
LED tvs are LCD tvs with LED backlights, as opposed to flourescent backlighting. LED give you better contrast ratio and colors.
1080p is necessary to get the best picture from Blu-ray movies, and some games.
Full HD usually means 1080p.
Hope that helps, for more help picking out just the right TV for you, call us. We can help.
