When the Samsung UN55B6000 went on sale in March of 2009, it sold for a jaw dropping price of $3299. Fast forward 12 months and the UN55B6000 has dropped in price all the way down to $1626.
The UN55B6000 isn’t a slouch either. Besides offering a 55 inch screen to watch all of your sports and everything else on it is also 120Hz meaning that video will appear smoother than with a standard 60Hz television. Also it’s an LED HDTV so it’s going to be thinner, and use less energy than a standard LCD HDTV. You also get to watch video with a True HD resolution of 1920 x 1080p. 4 HDMI ports will allow you to connect your Blu-ray player, game console and whatever else you have laying around.
This kind of deal is bought to go quickly, but if you’re game you can score a great deal.

Samsung is going all in with LED HDTVs. LED HDTVs are definitely the “cool” technology when it comes to HDTVs and they want to capitalize on its popularity. Samsung is making these televisions in sizes all the way up to 55 inches and as small as 19 inches. In 2009, Samsung only made one 32 inch model by comparison. The MSRP may be higher than a comparable 2009 model but expect those prices to come down.

Someone left a comment saying that they were looking for a replacement television stand for a LG 47LH30 LCD HDTV. After looking it up on my own I was able to get my hands on the correct part numbers.
It wasn’t easy because it turns out that replacing the TV stand isn’t as easy as just buying a stand assembly and calling it a day. LG called the base just the bottom piece while you still have buy a support which is the piece which connects the base to the television itself.
The part number for the base (stand) is AAN70429402
The part number for the support is MJH57144702
You’d have to buy both part in order for it to work correctly.

Can you tell the difference from these two television? A lot of you think you could but the answer isn’t as easy as you think. One of the televisions pictured above is a 720p HDTV while the other is a 1080p HDTV.
For years manufacturers have been telling us that the best sharpest pictures can only come from a 1080p television. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent reinforcing this message so when someone buys a new 1080p set they tell their friends and family that the picture is sharper than what they could get on a 720p set.
Quietly die-hard video enthusiasts have said that 1080p is only visible when the television is a certain size and you’re sitting a certain distance away. For a 26 or 32″ television it would be a waste. At 46 or 52 inches the ability to perceive a difference greatly increases. Michael Miller from PC Mag decided to run a test to find out how people would respond when only their wallets were taking out of the picture and their eyes had to tell the difference.
The results are actually really amazing. Continue reading »
