o/t What is best? LCD OR PLASMA

[chris_c201]

Not 100% now.... think it was but maybe talking rubbish... been looking on the net and you can get the 50" samsung for about £1650.....

Not sure if i would buy from a net only retailer that i'm not 100% comfortable with though....

Dave if you go for the 50" DLP I can give u a quote to build an extension to house it in ......those things are huge!!!

Bought myself a Tosh 37WLT58 37" LCD telly from John Lewis in October last year - great set, and JL give you a 5yr warranty with all their telly's!!

Waiting 6-8 months until Sky HD comes down a bit in price before I purchase, then i hope to really see a difference.

Used avforums.com while making my choice - it's a great souce of information & advice, both before and after you've made your choice.

I would go for Plasma myself. LCD is catching up quality wise and it uses a lot less energy but over all I think the plasma still has the edge. I think the picture quality depends a lot on the tranmitted quality. I find the blacks are hardly effected when on DVD but notice it quite badly when watching a TV channel. Watched Braveheart on C5 via sky 2 weeks ago and the picture was crap. I have a Pioneer 43" and Sky just installed my HD box yesterday. No chance to try it out though as I'm on the rig again. Julie reckons it's a brlliant picture, so it must be good if the wife can notice the difference. I'm p***ed off at the price though, don't get me wrong I think it's worth £300, but no dought in 6 months time Sky will do it's usual and HD box will be £100 or worse still free. Paid £3700 about 18 months ago for the Plasma and it is now £2100 with 2 HDMI connections. I think I need to grow up and learn to wait for my toys []
