Any AV people on here. Need some advice on a new LED TV

[Dalendenver]

I did a lot research before I bought my HDTV a few years ago. Even the high end reviewers were saying that they couldn't tell the difference between 760 and 1080 screens, they also liked the plasmas for the high refresh rate, 650 Hz as opposed to 60 Hz for a basic LCD. You can get higher rate LCDs but you pay more for them. I bought a Vizio 50 inch plasma and have been very pleased with it for over 5 years. You can even tell the difference between DVD and BlueRay on the 760 screen. The only drawback to a plasma, so I have been told, is that they won't work over 6000 ft. above sea level. My son has one he bought from a girl friend that moved to Idaho Springs.

Another myth.. the first year plasma TVs came out the issue was that at altitude the power supplies were not strong enough to run the sets at altitude and they would make a buzzing/humming noise that was only audible if you were standing right next to it. that was fixed within the next model release year.
