Best HDTV of the year

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

Heheheh.... I see Sir TT getting to you

If you enjoy your TV, that is all that matters.

Kind of arrogant and self centered to think it was all about him. The problem is that he is too cheap to pay for televisions that perform better. Don't hate me because your reach is so low. It just so happens that pix has owned a third tier set, and now a second tier set.

At least he is improving, which isn't saying much..........

TT, he may have a bigger problem than being to cheap. He may actually think the LG looks better than the Samsungs and Sonys and that what really bothers him. I'm all for "Buy What You Can Afford", but then don't go around and tell people that it's the best on the market. There are worse things in this world than looking cheap, looking stupid is one of them.

"buy what you can afford" eh? I could have bought a Samsung, a Sony, you name it.
Get off of your high horse. I had a 42" 1080p set that, despite TALKYS PROTESTATIONS TO THE CONTRARY was actually a very nice set. Not the best but great for the price.
I still have a 60hz 1080p, the only reason, and I REPEAT ...the only reason I bought
the LG was as an interim set, I REALLY THINK ITS AN EXCELLENT PICTURE.
There is no "third", "second", or even "first" type of TV, thats just talky the troll making stuff up.
Try to tell anybody in the industry that LG is "second tier" and they will laugh at you.
Different brands of TV handle pictures in different ways. The LG is very good in the way it handles color. TALKY slams it because of his insecurities, hes' had his "Kuro"
for awhile, its starting to dim a bit, and he knows he paid top dollar for second rate
plasma crap. Bugs him, I guess.
What a very sad and unhappy man, which is easy to tell by reading his posts.
At first they come off as arrogant, but after awhile you see the bitterness in them.
Sad, really.

Pix, you are the only idiot that makes his equipment an extension of himself. I think it has an excellent picture is meaningless if you don't calibrate your set, and you have admitted yourself that you don't.

Secondly, Pix there has been tiered manufacturing of televisions for years, and your denial is not going to change that one bit. Both Wooch and I have posted link after link that supports that fact.

Everyone knows that LG is a second tier manufacturer, you know as well, but you are in the deepest part of denial a person can be(almost close to drowning in it as a matter of fact).

TALKY slams it because of his insecurities, hes' had his "Kuro"

plasma crap. Bugs him, I guess.

My insecurities, over your cheapness? I think not. It would be stupid(and typical of you) to come up with that lame excuse. Vizio is what it is, a third tier television supplier(that don't manufacturer anything). LG is a respectable second tier manufacturer(they do make their own sets).

I actually got my Kuro's at a substantial discount from Best Buy, so your top dollar claim is bogus. The Kuros has never been a second rate plasma, it was, and still is the plasma panel that all others are compared to. It's performance(even after being off the market for two years now) has only been bested by Panasonic 65" professional plasma(of which I also own). No other plasma has yet touched it for performance - especially in contrast, color, and black levels. So much for your uniformed(and ignorant)claims.

Pix, you need a mirror. I think this is what everyone else thinks about you, except substitute the word arrogant, for damn right pitiful, and it has you pegged.

Picture calibration is increasingly less necessary.
My set has a great picture wizard, its not an ISF calibration but it does have their name.
As computers take over more and more of a TV's functions calibration is becoming
more and more irrelevant. My owners manual has a whole page of acknowledgements
for various software gizmos used in my set, from Linux to you name it
Of course plasmas still benefit from calibration, as they are basically a squished CRT,
yesterdays tech.

LET ME ask you, don't you think that for what I PAID for the LG that I COULDN'T BUY A samsung? Or a Panny?
As a matter of fact SAMSUNG has several models that are somewhat cheaper
than the set I bought.
You throw this cheapskate crap around all of the time, and its just silly.
I have had two Samsungs, BTW, and wasnt impressed with either, although the Tau
30" was nice(you'd like it, a CRT) THE 47" was a piece of RPTV junk.
Only one reason I got the LG, the picture is exelent.

If you understood anything about ISO and other quality control methods you would know that its increasingly irrelevant weather or not a manufacturer makes his own or outsources.
I can name off the top of my head at least a dozen manufacturers that dont "manufacture"
a bloomin thing, from Cambridge to Emotiva to, well, JUST ABOUT ANYBODY.
Vizo is a great brand, especially for those on a budget, and since they are no. one,
a lot more agree with me than you

For that matter no other plasma has touched even a cheap LCD panel in
performance.

Pix, you need a mirror. I think this is what everyone else thinks about you, except substitute the word arrogant, for damn right pitiful, and it has you pegged.

Well, you certainly know about "arrogant", and I THINK MOST would agree with me.
One thing you need to know, I will enjoy my new set regardless of what the troll thinks.

That's funny because I just read the December Consumer Reports and if you look at their 3D TV ratings the top 7 spots are all plasma sets. One is an LG, but it's still a plasma.

In Pix world good performance does not count for anything. Its the price, Its the price, and that is it for him. Does not matter than the cheap television cannot stand up to the competition that well, its all about the price.

Pixstupidhead, this is perhaps one of the most irresponsible post you have ever done on this website. You know good and damn well televisions do not come out of the box pre-calibrated, or anywhere close to it. ALL televisions need calibration, and it does not matter one damn bit that mini computers are doing all of the processing. Are you so stupid that you believe that television can automatically calibrate themselves? If you believe that, then you are far more stupid than even I thought.

LET ME ask you, don't you think that for what I PAID for the LG that I COULDN'T BUY A samsung? Or a Panny?

Then why didn't you? You didn't because the LG was probably cheaper, and all you can afford.

As a matter of fact SAMSUNG has several models that are somewhat cheaper
than the set I bought.

Right pix, and that extra eyeball you have in your head allows you to see better than most humans(sarcasm off)

If the picture was so "exelent", then why doesn't LG televisions do better when compared to the competition? I'll tell you why, LG is a second tier brand, just better than Vizio.

[quoteIf you understood anything about ISO and other quality control methods you would know that its increasingly irrelevant weather or not a manufacturer makes his own or outsources.[/quote]

BS. ISO is the very reason there is a tiered rating among manufacturers. ISO does not help one bit when you start off with a low quality panel, and then take leftover parts to make your television(as Vizio does). Manufacturers who design their own sets, and procure high quality parts designed to work with the panel from the onset make better set than those who choose low quality panel(or rejects) and procure what parts they can find on the market to make their sets. That is what seperates the Sony, Samusung, and Panasonics from the Sharp, LG's, and Vizio's.

First liar, Emotiva does make their own products. Jade Electronics makes Emotiva's products, and Dan Laufman owns both Jade electronics and Emotiva. Secondly Cambridge Audio does use Oppo platform, but at least they start from a very high quality platform and tweak it from there. That is not what Vizio, Colby, Insignia, or any of the other third tier television "sellers" do. They start with a cheap panel that would not pass mustard with the first tier manufacturers, and source parts from all over Asia to fit into those panel. None of this is designed to work together - hence why they do not perform that well. They trade performance for cost, and that is not what Emotiva or Cambridge audio do.

For that matter no other plasma has touched even a cheap LCD panel in
performance.

Or really, talk to Panasonic and Samsung about that. Their plasma are much better than almost all of the LCD on the market, excluding Sony's and Samsungs own LCD.

Well, you certainly know about "arrogant", and I THINK MOST would agree with me.

Troll=A dumbass who makes idiotic posts in message boards newsgroups for the sole purpose of pissing people off, often lacking in intelligence.

Pix, that does not describe me, that describe you. I say enjoy your mediocre set. Let's face it, this is the best you can do. But don't think your mediocre set represent the state of the art in performance, because it quite frankly does not. Be real, at least to yourself anyway.
