MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Could somebody point me in the direction of the TV threads of a month or so ago - can't find them for the life of me.
Or, advice on how these LED sets perform in use. Looking at Samsung LEDs at the moment but deals seem few and far between. Ideally want the best performer for 2D (not really interested in 3D).
Top end for 46inch sets seems to be 1700-2000 but too pricey for us so looking sub 1000.
Any ideas welcome! I like watching sport so sets that 'blur motion' to be avoided.
Thanks
John Lewis for the warranty is known although the Samsungs seem to come with 5 years as standard.
Dunno much about led TVs but richer sounds are usually also worth a look.
I have an old, free from the tip as it was being unloaded from a mates car, Sony huuge beast with a tube and everyfink.
Not a jot of blur on them cyclists of F1 this afternoon.
No problem with HD or motion blur on my plasma....
Blurring is to do with how quickly the tv refreshes (MHz) the higher the number the better. Anything 100+ will be fine.
Our be Samsung is 100 and it's been fine for te euros, tdf and te limps both in SD and HD. Not watched motor racing as its big pie of poo, but I'd assume that'd be alright a well.

MHz is millions of times a second. TVs refresh at rates of 10s of times a second. 100Hz is good in theory for anything with movement in it, but be aware that the signal is broadcast at 50 frames a second so the ones in between are essentially invented by the TV - the algorithms are good that do this, but sometimes they get it wrong and it looks weird.
Thanks all

as the above says, blurring is to do with how the TV interpolates the frames between the frames that the broadcaster sends.
Some of the price difference between sets is down to the extra sophistication of the computer processing.
Samsung processing is pants out of the box - I would go for a Panasonic or maybe a Sony.
But also look for color correctness - the ability to render skin tones correctly, etc.
OK - had narrowed it down (rightly or wrongly) to Samsung, Pannys and Sony.
If I asked a simpler question - what 46" TV (sub a grand) would you buy? Any recommendations for actual model numbers?
Unless you can find a Panny for that price, which I doubt, I recently brought a 37 (ET5B) for about £750 and it's excellent the only time it suffers with motion blur is when trying to do intelligent frame creation with BluRay.
Then Sonys have been getting good feedback recently so you could try this[url= http://www.johnlewis.com/231575490/Product.aspx ]Sony panel[/url].
