Buying my first TV
Got my first full time job and I'll finally be able to afford to watch movies on a screen other than a shitty laptop.
Thinkin of getting pic related. Any suggestions? Is it even worth getting a nice TV if I'm gonna be watching torrents from my laptop through an HDMI?

you got your first full time job before you were 18?

LG and Samsung are a little pricier, and I'd rather spend that money on a better sound system

buy a plasma
the viewing angles
the refresh rate
the input lag is generally far better
the response time is always far better
oh wait that's right LCD killed it and you can no longer buy gods gift to humanity, because of retarded consumers believing the pimple ridden sales reps at bestbuy who were forced on insisting on only LCDs.
YAY CAPITALISM!

yeah i really dont see the point of buying a 'smart' tv when you can just put in a dongle and make a dumb TV smart.
'Smart' =Idiot tax

After you get the TV, download AVS HD and calibrate every HDMI input!
Dynamic or Vivid modes are made to catch your eye at the store, not to look correct.

plasma was a shit technology. deprecated and superceded.
this is one of the best TVs out there

Actually no, read the global rules

Just get the biggest non-"smart" TV you can afford
What about Sony TVs?

Disgusting, get a proper media server setup.

Because they're not sold as such in most stores. When I bought my 60", a "smart" 3DTV that has features I'll never use, there were no dumb tvs available practically anywhere and the ones that were around were overpriced with terrible resolution. I still use chromecast with it because the dongle works better than the mess that is miracast.
