I've been to a video specialty store that carries 2D, 3D, LCD and plasma. While arguments can be made for LCD or plasma in 2D, if you're going for 3D, the plasma beats LCD categorically, hands down. I think it has something to do with plasma's much higher refresh rate. A fast LCD TV has a 240 Hz refresh rate. Plasmas are typically 600 or 660 Hz. Panasonic's top-of-the-line 55" 3D plasma is $2500 tops, and is pretty amazing.
seeking 55 inch LED TV matte Screen, 2011 model
Looking to purchase a 2011 55 inch LED, 3D compatible HDTV with a matte screen. Samsung and Panasonic only offer glossy screens which relect much glare. Only Vizio and LG offer 2011 models with a matte screen. I know a glossy screen is more vibrant, but it also gives me eye strain due to the glare it produces. In short, when the TV is off I do not want to be able to use the screen as a mirror. Any specific model recommendation would be helpful. My budget is $2500.00.
