OK, so I had made my decision to buy a new television and have spent the last 4 months researching televisions, HDMI, 3D, contrast ratios and just about anything else related to television specs. I decided, besides from my research, the only way I'm really going to get to make my decision is by going to the local tv dealers (Best Buy) and deciding there. I made up my mind to go with a 3D LED television, although there isnt alot of 3D options right now and everyone is raving about the Panasonic 3D plasma, I felt like the 3D LED-LCD TV's offer the best contrast ratio. By the way, contrary to popular belief, don't let anyone tell you contrast ratio isnt that important because IT IS. I narrowed my list down to 4 desirable selections: the Samsung UN55C8000, the Sony Bravia KDL55NX810, the Vizio XVT3D554SV, and the LG INFINIA 55LX9500. I went into Best Buy, and they only had three of the TVs I wanted, the LG wasn't on display. According the salesman, the LG was "too expensive to display", whatever. So I thought "ok maybe this is a sign to mark that off the list". I compared the other three, had the salesman hookup all three to a blu-ray player and then a 3D blu-ray player, and by far the Samsung blew the other two out of the water. So I decided on that one, but I was going to order through Amazon from OneCall (by the way the best place to order online, definately go with them!!!) because they had the same TV $600 cheaper than Best Buy's SALE price. I figured I can go ahead and buy some 3D glasses, 3D BLU-RAY player and a couple of movies with the money I saved. I got home, signed into Amazon and as I was about to click the "add to cart" button for the Samsung, a review off to the side of the screen on the LG 55LX9500 caught my eye. I'm thinking "Ok that's weird". I read the review, and it was like a preacher preaching the gospel to me, I became a believer (not to be a blasphemist). So I took a HUGE risk and ordered the LG tv, which by the way, Best Buy had the Samsung TV at $2699 instock and the LG TV at $3999 ship to store, and OneCall on Amazon had the Samsung TV at $2085 and the LG at $2099, YOU CANT BEAT THAT PRICE!! When the TV arrived, let me tell, you the first thing that gives you that "WOW" effect is the elegant design of the very slim bezel along the border of the TV. It is almost all screen, very sexy! I hooked it up to my PS3 since my 3D Blu-Ray player hadnt made it in yet (another positive of OneCall is fast shipping!) played Avatar, and ladies and gentlemen, I cant even express the sheer beauty of the picture quality OUT OF THE BOX!! IT WAS'T EVEN CALIBRATED YET! I know a guy that professionally calibrates and I had him over and he was even stunned by the picture. At the time I was actually looking for another 55" TV for my game room, so I ordered the Samsung for the heck of it to see, and when it showed up I hooked it up to the same playstation, all which were plugged into the same panomax power conditioner, and folks it couldn't even compare!! I sent back the Samsung and got another LG for my game room. ALl I can say is I know this is just a review and viewing preference and picture quality is completely subjective and opinionated, but I highy reccomend this TV and if your in the market for a 3D 55" LED telivision, try it out. Another yet positive about OneCall is if your not completely satisfid with the product, you can send it back within a certain amount of time. Try it, and I guarentee you won't be disappointed. Panasonic VIERA P54VT25, eat your heart out!!!
