Someone help me please. Should i return my samsung 55" 8000 seried LED

Question

I got this open box almost a month ago... $2249.... $2450 out the door.... Its amazingly real... But after looking at CES and seeing all the WIFI enabled tv's and the CELL tv from toshibia... for a little cheaper im debating on returning it... i have 3 days left until my 30 days is up... I know i got a great price on it but should i just pay the same amount for a more current model?  Please help me... im on a budget too and really didnt want to spend more than 2000$ but the samsung was a great deal at the time... That new VIZIO 55" is looking pretty sweet to me... Should i return it and just get a better model in a few months?

Answer 1

Are these prices at best buy, or over the internet? And whether you should retern it depends on if you would really use those extra features or not. If not its not worth the hassle in my opinion.
And me personally, I would not trade a samsung for a vizio but that is just my personal opinion and nothing more.
If it were me I would look at the tvs your considering and make sure they actually look better and offer more features than the current tv you have.
I can't imagine the CELL tvs will be cheap either. And there is nothing currently out that can utilize that much rezolution, so it will be upconverting everything. LCD and plasma display the picture in their native resolution, so if its less than the native resolution it has to upconvert it. Which means extra processing. And if that tv is four times the resolution of the current 1080 standard it would be upconverting every signal it gets. And upconverting it a LOT.
Might look really nice on good source material, but it could really look bad on something of lower quality. I would have to look REALLY hard at one and test it with different signals to make sure it really looked that good. I simply can't imagine needing that much resolution on a 55 inch tv unless you were sitting 3 feet from it lol.
I mean I looked at 1080 and 720 tvs and opted for a 720 because I honestly couldn't tell the difference. I could not imagine being able to notice four times that.
Might make one heck of a large computer monitor though if you had a video card that could run that high.
Now that kind of resolution on a large front projector would be interesting to me, but not on a 55 inch lcd tv. Again just my opinions, never actually seen one just read about them.
