Ok I've had my Samsung A650 40 inch PVA panel for years now and its gotten non-stop usage. So since its been used so much I'm starting to notice that the backlight is failing and starting to "light band" and its quite annoying especially compared to my computer monitors which are all LED and pretty uniform. Picture quality in this instance is a must.
The problem is I can not seem to find a TV on the market that can do 4:4:4 accurately with a very high contrast ratio (the A650 had 5000:1 static) with very low input latency (A650 has less than a frame of lag). Plasma is out of the question because many modern plasma's are process heavy and have unacceptable amounts of input latency plus I like to leave static images on for long periods of time. And I can't spend more than about $1500-1800. Plus if its larger than say 50 inches it'll be impractical for what I need so a 40 inch or 47 inch would be preferred. If I could replace the backlight and keep on using it I would in a heart beat.
Is there anything on the market like the A650 with a VA panel type and low input latency? Because I can't seem to find anything like that. I'm not interested in IPS , I hate the glow it drives me crazy. I've heard LG has a good 40 inch VA but that its a panel lottery and you are lucky if you get a solid working one.
Any suggestions guys?
