AwesomeMcCoolName Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Need a Tv for college. Size: Between 32"-40" depending on the size/space in the room. Budget: $400 Requirements: 1080P 120hz Preferably without SmartTV/3D as its worthless and just costs extra (usually). Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liddojunior Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Look at sales at frys , they always have good sales, especially when theres no holiday around. I dont know if theres plasmas for that much but i think there are and should spring for them cheaper and very great quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, normally i would say hell no to plasmas, because although they produce a really nice image, they go to shit relatively quickly, but since i'm going to college 1200~ miles away from where i live i probably will just leave the tv there/find a friend who lives nearby to store it, so longevity isn't a big deal. However, Plasmas are usually more expensive then their led lcd counteparts. Edit: Y U SO BIG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Y U SO BIG Really? i find plasmas to always be cheaper then led tvs. Plasma have really improved but they have a reputation for being bad when tey first started that make them cheap, but plasma has gone a really long way. Lg plasmas have very long longevity. I would swap my tv in my room for a plasma one if i could lol And yea just look at ads on frys they always have 40 in tvs on sale.

I never said they were bad, but overtime they tend to lose their contrast (as opposed to LED). Also....damn....frys is ridiculously cheap...we need that shit where i live... http://www.frys.com/product/6539533?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeird Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Why not have your PC take your place of a TV? It's a lot cheaper. And quite effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i can't connect my ps3 to my laptop. Also, i'm planning on using the tv as a monitor anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the ads, they stalk you. Whenever you look something up on google/amazon/newegg/bestbuy/etc... it automatically gets ads that it thinks you'll like. Currently i'm getting headphone, computer parts, and ext hdd ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bakula Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 They have 46" tvs for $350~ but 32-40" is like 400-450....wtf They're probably models that are being replaced with next years version. It tends to happen every summer. One thing to note, if you decide on something closer to the 32" range, you do not need 1080. When you get below 40" in size, the difference between 720 and 1080 is negligible at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with being in the 720p range is that you generally can't get 720p tv with 120hz refresh rate, and 60hz is just painful to use once you're used to 120/240.
