Hey guys,

Im looking for a new TV (I left my Samsung 6 series back in The Netherlands )

So, which LCD tv you find the best for gaming/blue ray?!

And how about surround? Logitec Z5500 anyone?

best lcd probably on the market is probably the Sony LCD with LED backlit...

best Surround sound forget Logitech Z5500 - not even entry level sound.... audio equipment cost alot more than tv at top end.... into the millions of dollars...

Sure they are good, but it doesn't change the fact that they are not even entry level sound as fd said.

Maybe if you use the optical outputs/inputs on your 5500 and your PS3 and TV???
BTW...Don't buy one of these Logitech systems. Have already sent one back because the backlight failed and it kept switching itself off randomly. Even my supposedly 'new' one does it as well!!!
Save you $$$ and buy a 'proper' audio system, it's worth it in the long run. The Logitech is OK for a bedroom but for the probs i've had, wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Best bit is the sub.
Got a Panasonic Viera 32" LCD, couldn't be happier! My mate has a Bravia and I still reckon the Pano is better picture.

If you want to play games most of the time, I suggest you get an LCD TV. The reason why you should consider an LCD TV is due to burn ins (I know that new plasmas don't suffer from it - but they are still susceptible). Plasmas also use more energy and give off more heat, so if prolonged gaming sessions are what you're going to be having, then the LCD is better.

Currently in the LCD TV market, new refreshes are going to be made soon (around October-December, in time for holidays), you might be able to get a few good deals if you look around for brands such as Samsung or Sony. If you don't mind Sharp then their TVs are one of the best out there (it's just that they have very poor service and customer base here in Australia).

Probably not, may give you a sharper brighter image. Depends on the screen you have.


As for those Logitechs, my brother has them and they sound awesome

That's because they aren't a HD audio system, you would never get HD audio out of them

I'd agree with Samsung and Sony. That's what you want to be looking at. I don't think Sharps panels have been that great for the last year or so though.

If you can afford it go LED LCD. (BTW, Samsung have 95% of the LED LCD market with SONY at 5%). Samsung have overtaken SONY as the premiere HD TV manufacture - and they are usually cheaper.
