Looking for input on new TV. - Blu-ray Forum

DBLN8 · 08-03-2011, 12:57 PM

I'm in the market for a new TV, I'm going to buy from Costco mainly because of their return policy and free extended warranty.

I have narrowed it down to these 3 sets.

Panasonic TC-60PS34 (plasma)

Sharp-60LE832U (LED)

Samsung Series 6 6050 (LED)

Any input pro/cons on these sets would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

TV will be used for watching Blu's, reg tv and gaming.

I personally would stick with the plasma but that is based solely on my preference for the way they look as opposed to LED's

Definitely go with the Panasonic plasma. IMHO, it's a step up from the LCDs on your list.

Wingman1977 · 08-03-2011, 09:44 PM

Put me down for the OP going with plasma.

slimdude · 08-03-2011, 11:29 PM

Another vote for Panasonic plasma!

Also given the event of buying an S30 series and returning it for an ST30 series the last few days I would also recommend making the jump to the ST30. The quality difference is just

The Costco numbering is a bit different, and I think their sets are the ST30 equivalents.

Also for the OP, I would highly recommend getting the new additional 3 year warranty they are now offering on electronics. Normally I'm against this, but and EXTRA 3 years for only $99 is well worth the minimal price.

Good point. I didn't look at the OP's number that closely, but now I see it's NOT the same as what is in my Coscto (TC-65PST30).

OP - Find a PST30 model.

Thanks for everybody's input, I'll be pulling the trigger on the panasonic this weekend.

As long as the OP stays away from the Sony BRAVIA 65" XBR HX929, I'll be happy. Last thing I need is the limited nature of the release stock to be dwindled even further, thereby making my purchase that much easier.

Check the rear.

Some sets have them on the side.

Did it come with a manual?
