Buying My First HD TV & Need Help

[MTK]

Samsung is a good brand but I would go for a 120 hz set.

For fast moving things like sports, a higher Hz rating is recommended.

60Hz vs. 120Hz vs. 240Hz vs. 480Hz - LCD Response Rate

The problem I have is in the 40" TV's when I go from 60HZ to 120HZ the size jumps about an inch making it too big. If its that important to have the 120 over the 60 I could go with the 37" TV. See right now we have a space issue but we are looking to move which could be in 3 months or 3 yrs. If I knew then size would not be the issue but if we are in our current home for over a year or so I really want the bigger TV.

That's why I was saying, take the 40" with 60hz over a smaller TV with higher hz. It will fit your furniture better, give you a bigger screen and maybe save you some money too.

As mredskins said, you probably won't see a difference. It's your first one, it will look amazing compared to your previous TV.

I agree and the only time the MHZ comes into play for sports is when the ball is in the air otherwise everything looks fine.

I do like to watch golf so that could be an issue. I doubled checked my measurements yesterday and I have 38 1/2 inches to work with. That gives me no wiggle room at all but will fit.

Samsung- best value for what you're getting in the LCD market. And go for the 120hz if you can spring it... you'll be having the set for a while and it definitely makes a difference in sports.

Ok so the Samsung with 120hz will fit where I need it to go so I'm going to go with this TV. I'm waiting to see the sail around black Friday before buying.

What do you guys think of this choice.

Samsung - LN40C630 - 40" LCD TV - 1080p (FullHD)

The Samsung LCD 630 HDTV is a smooth operator - 120Hz Clear Motion Rate technology allows you to see fast action with a smoothness that's clearly ahead of the competition. The AllShare feature even allows you to sync up your entire household, via a wired or wireless DLNA connection that lets you stream your PC audio and video files to your HDTV using your remote. And Samsung's Touch of Color design combines texture and color that will complement any decor.

IF you buy one today at Sears and they mark it lower in the next 30 days they will cut you a rebate check. So you really have no reason to wait.

Dude you are seriously still looking for this TV? Sh-t or get off the pot!

No I kind of got busy and forgot about the TV until my wife's new washer and dryer showed up Friday . So I did a little research yesterday and came up with the Samsung that would fit. The good news is that the washer and dryer have so many different controls and selections I can now tell my wife I don't know how to use them. For some reason they look like there is a bunch of new stuff on them to break.

Oh yeah I saw your post about the dryer. What is up with that? Talk about a money making scam the dryer business has going.

When I got my new dryer I told them no thanks I will do it myself.

They are like $16 and I think Sears or who ever charges like $50 or $75 to put one on, total BS.

Shop Utilitech 6' 10/3 SRDT, 3-Pole 3-Wire Dryer Cord at Lowes.com

Plus why doesn't GE or who ever just built it with one.

It is like buying a new car getting in it and noticing no windshield, "oh you want a windshield that be an extra $200."

Sears charges $65 to install the washer and dryer and after me and a budy installed them we decided the $65 was a good deal. The resaon for the power cord is they come in different designs. The one you linked would not fit the dryer we got and I just took the one off the old dryer anways. Here is the washer the wife had to have.

Wow fancy pants! I am bring my wash over.

Seriously though a lot of these options on these newer washer and dryers are just gimmicks. My one buddy has to GE washer/dryer combo that talk to each other, The washer tells the dryer how heavy/wet the clothes are and the dryer is suppose to come up the optimal dry time. My buddy said it has never once got it right, he just manually sets the dryer to permanent press 90 minutes but hey it looks fancy right!

lol - seriously just buy one

Sammys are a good brand, you can't go wrong
