RE: Thinking of getting a Plasma TV

Posted by Tom Brennan on October 4, 2009 at 12:34:05:
The LED LCD TVs that have the best blacks are the local dimming types such as the Samsung 950 series. LED back lit TVs that aren't local dimming don't always have better blacks than florescent back lit LCDs.

IME the degradation of LCD picture from side angles is vastly overstated. Watching my Samsung 850 from the side the "sideness" of the view becomes a problem long before any dimming of the picture does.
