Hello!

I have decied to buy a new tv. At the moment I have a Philips LCD with matt screen 47" which is about 5 years old. It was one of the first LCD with full HD 1080. I decied to buy a new tv since it has really bad black levels I mean it doesnt have black levels at all its more like grey. Its very disturbing to watch movie scener happening at night =)

So I am choosing betwen LED lcd or plasma. When it comes to the brand of the Plasma I have made my decision that it should be Panasnoic Viera 55" VT30 or VT50. Tell me please if it is worth buying the new VT50, I mean is it much better than Vt30. I heard that panasnonic plasmas are the best that's why i chose panasonic. Please correct me if I am wrong. The only concern i have about plasmas is the burnt pixel, if you plug computer on your tv and then you leave one image that doesnt move etc.

When it comes to LED LCD important for me it is that it has something more than EDGE LED (for instance edge led with local diming, or dynimc edge led, or edge led with micro diming etc.) I really like a good contrast (at least 5 000 000 : 1. The second thing I admire is Anti glare effect or glass, because more and more LED LCD have one sheet of glass desing over the front. I heard taht Sony has anti glare effect. Again please correct me if I am wrong and there actually are very good lLED LCD with matt screen.

So when it comes to LED LCD i am thinking about Sony, Philips, Lg and Samsung. Which models do you prefer or which brand

I have looked at sony HX and NX seried 55inch
Samsung: 8000 series, 7000 series 55inch

Philips: 9000 series 52 inch

Its also imporntat that the picture is smooth, meaning it has good motion. The design for me is not so important

The price should rang from 1900-2500 EUR, a.k.a. 1600-2050£, I calculated that price.

Thank you all for helping i know I wrote a lot but please help me chose the right TV
