Samsung choice -lcd ??

karltimber

hi folks,

I need some help here deciding on an lcd for home.
Was going for a 32 but now a 37 seems a better choice.

I have chorus analogue (unfortunately:rolleyes: ) and will use it for a media center pc and general pc work (thru media center) -will get digital eventually.
connecting thru dvi.

so options.
I decided on a samsung as I get more bang for my buck and with just analogue supply - a high end/more expensive lcd may not be worth it.

Komplet - LE37S71 - 1,299
Komplet - LE37R72B - 1599
Technikdirekt - LE37R72B -1265

these are 3 tv's I have my eyes on.
Is it worth going for 37R72B from Technik instead of the 37S71 from Komplet for similar price.
With my info above, I am swaying to the LE37S71 from komplet at 1,299.

edit - what cable do I need for dvi-hdmi ??

so - what ye think ??

I would go for Sony Bravia everytime, Samsung is quite good at LCD's but not as good as Sony.

Why? just becaus one poster said he would go with Sony Bravia everytime.

Samsung make an excellent lcd and are also making many of the panels for other manufactors also, including Sony. Compared to Sony, Samsung are priced very good also. I am not saying that Samsung are better than Sony or vice versa, but what I am saying, you would be hard pushed to get ag good as value for money than what you will get from the Samsung ranges.

Please correct me if I am wrong but as far as value for money is I dont think you can match Samsung in terms of specifications. Lets just say you had €1500 to €2000 euros to spend on a LCD. All Samsung LCD's seem to have a way better contrast ratio then Sony's and can match Sony in terms of performance that would effect picture qaulity in many other specifications. I stand very much corrected but that is what I am picking up when I do my limited research in LCD's! Sony's seem to have a very low contrast ratio! Why is this? Have they something else which means they dont need to rely on contrast ratio's???

I have to agree. I looked at a 46" Sony and 46" Samsung side by side in a store recently, and the Samsung won hands down. Also, motion artefacts seemed much reduced on the Samaung. It was an easy decision for me, but everybody is different...

Oh, I bought the Samsung, and am very happy with it.

Cheers,
Dave.
