Toshiba 40TL868B VS SAMSUNG UE40D5520 VS LG 42LW550T

[dealerstealer]

before i start im sorry if the same question has been asked regarding the same tv sets,


right, i am after a new tv after giving my sharp lcd to a family member, the tv will be in my bedroom.

ideally looking at a 40/42

i, like most people, i am wanting the best value for money

i have seen alot of good reviews of the samsung UE40D5520 and the best price seems to be about £500 inc 5year warranty,

i then came across the toshiba 40TL868B bundle that includes the tv, 3d blueray player, and 12 months free lovefilm and 5 year warranty for £550

there are not alot of reviews of this set as its quite new, there is a user on here though who is experiencing a judder problem though?

i seen the samsung and the toshiba side by side today on display and i didnt see any of it? also the toshiba looked more detailed whereas the samsung had deeper colours..

the toshiba deal seems like a no brainer but then you have to consider buying the active 3d glasses, and wifi dongle, probably an extra £100 in total

then i came across the LG 42LW550T, which has alot of good reviews and a passive 3d set. the cheapest i have seen it is £600 delivered with a standard 1 year warranty then you can claim £100 back if you are an sky customer..


it seems like a no brainer to get one of the 3d sets as they cost as much as the 2d set? 3d is not a priority for me but if it costs as much as a 2d set then why not?

i have got no idea on what to get..

i dont know much about tv's and would appreciate it if you could tell me your opinions and maybe alternatives

thanks

Whats the set going to be used for? Id go LG myself or look at the Panasonic plasmas.

 

[dealerstealer]

its going to be in my room, mainly watching sky, and pc

ive had a panasonic 42g10 before then passed it on, it was a nice set but i fancied a change

the lg would hopefully cost £500 after cashback, not many fans of the toshiba on here then??..

ive also come across the samsung 51" 3d plasma, ps51d550 for about £600

seems to have good reviews everywhere, only negative the reflective screen

I know you fancy a change but the ST30 is quite an improvement over the G10 and RS do it for 500 now. Just thought it worth a mention. Only Samsungs to compete with Panasonic really are the D6900 and D8000 IMO.
You say PC, is this just games and movies?

just general surfing as i cant be bothered with a seperate display

when you say the d6900 and d8000, what panasonic set/s are you referring to?

also a seperate question, whats your verdict on the samsung ps51d550? seems like a lot of tv for the money?

 

[dealerstealer]

in terms of spec/peformance between the toshiba and the lg what is the better tv,

with the toshiba bundle costing £500 and the lg £600

I can imagine at this entry level they are very similar. Have you looked for reviews and owner feedback (main LCD or 3D sections, search function is useful)?

HDTV test has a 4* review for the Samsung but it's not 3D

Sorry to bump up an old thread guys but I'm considering purchasing a tv and am torn between the Samsung UE40D5520 and LG 42LW550T.

The Samsung I will get for £450 and the LG £100 extra at £552.

Can u guys advice which one I shall get. Is it worth the extra £100? 3D was not even on my list until only recently. I don't really need it tho it will b nice to have it

Also the LG Internet how inferior is it to the Samsung?

In terms of picture quality who wins?

Thank u in advance

Also interested in both these models but where are you getting your prices from?? Both are a lot lower than I can find.
