Folks I've spoken to here know far more about electronics than the average bear so I thought I'd look for help here. Salesman I spoke to know virtually nothing about the products they sell. They tell me this or that I check it out and find out they're full of it.
Anyway - like our list of flashlight specs to help choose - I have a list of TV specs I'm looking for.
50 - 55 inch (prefer 55)
LED or Plasma
3D (absolute must)
240 HZ (absolute must)
Picture in picture (absolute must)
At least one composite video input (hard to find but absolute must)
****Now this one takes an expert to know...I want to be able to use ANY combo of 2 inputs in picture in picture mode. I might want to split screen with 2 HDMI sources, or one RF and one HDMI, or composite video with HDMI, or RF with composite video. I know I cannot use 3D with split screen and that is fine. I won't use 3D much
Prefer app present to watch HULU through ethernet connection. I don't care about WIFI to TV
Price within reason so less than $4000
Lots of TV's meet all specs BUT composite video input. As bad as VCR looks on HD TV I want the capability. I also have other gizmos I want to use that only have composite (not component) video (one RCA jack for video).
I don't care at all about component video (the one with R, G, B wires)
Can you find me one?
Samsung lists an AV composite input in their 7000 series but BestBuy site says no composite input so unless someone actually HAS the Samsung and has tried composite video I don't know what to believe.
