Hello chaps. For my bedroom I've just bought an LG 32LM6300pla 32" tv to replace my 2009 Samsung 32" tv, model LE32B530P7W.
The Samsung still has a perfect and truly excellent picture in my opinion, but I wanted bluetooth capability for my wireless buds, plus wi-fi and smart tv technology, hence buying the LG. The LG is a very good tv, nice picture and the bluetooth syncs perfectly for live tv. There can be a little delay on some streaming from youtube, iplayer or netflix but a lot of it is perfect. I'm going to buy an Amazon Firestick as I can adjust the sync when streaming.
The reason for my thread is that as good as the LG is, it's still not as good as the 12 year old Samsung. Definition is a little softer than my Samsung, blacks are not as good, and skin tones are not as nice. I'm just wondering if it's just me, or if LED isn't as good as LCD, or if Samsung is just better than LG? Movies look great, but watching anything else and I crave to watch my Samsung.
We're not talking 4K, QLED or OLED, just 1080p full HD. With the Samsung, for years I've been using a Manhattan T1 set top box just for the freeview HD. I decided to connect the Manhattan to the LG and it improves the sharpness of the picture and improves motion blur compared to the built in freeview HD. I think it's a great little box. But on the Samsung, with the Manhattan T1 it's still crisper, better definition, and skin looks powdery smooth. I'd say it's almost on another level. If I try to match the brightness on the LG to the brightness I have set up on the Samsung, it doesn't look very good. It's subtle differences, and I guess to most people, they might not notice what I'm talking about.
It's a pity Samsung or even Sony don't make a bluetooth 32" tv. Any thoughts? Thanks.
