lcd tvs....

[darkdezigns]

Nope, i read up a lot before i bought both of mine. I did fit the wall brackets though. For the price, yes. Go into somewhere like pcworld or comet and have a play with the pics on tvs and see the difference, samsung pic was a lot crisper than some bravias.

ah ok ty matey,ps got a link to a bracket you would recomend?want one that swivels and tilts but the arm type,if that makes sense??

[Antshiel]

Most places do them now, thats what i got upstairs (on the samsung) but they weren't out when i had the plasma. About £50-£80ish.

Google the model number and see what ratings and reviews there are for it. I just found the same tv for £929.

For 42" and over, Plasma.

Pioneer if you want to spend the money, if not, nothing less than Panasonic.

1080p 100htz or 200htz if you have the extra ££.

Don't forget the blueray player or HDsignal else it's a waste.

The issue of LCD vs Plasma was one of Plasma didn't have the reliability or longevity, whilst LCD didn't have the picture quality. This has now got to the point where there isn't that much in it, but the picture quality of Plasma is still superior.

If you are buying because you need to then go ahead, if you are buying because you think it's time you had one I'd hold off, prices are going to come down and there are alternatives coming into the market in the near future with advantages over both LCD and Plasma.

Projectors are good, particularly if you get a decent screen, but factor in lamp life and replacement cost and a cinema surround system. oh and a signal source, sky/digi box.

With ten years working in the TV sales industry, I can say hand on heart that the new LCD's completely out weigh the Plasmas.

Take IMAX cinema complexes. They all use LG LCD screens with Toshiba gubbings.

Once you go over 37inch plasma everything gets square heads unless you are half a mile away from the display.

My personal advise having seen hundreds of sets returned with faults since the introduction of the models would be as follow:

Pioneer
JVC
Toshiba

You should look for resolutions of 1080 x 1920 ideally.

Almost every person will tell you the difference between an lcd and a plasma but only two in ten people are aware of a viewing angle.

The cheap TV's will be 'ice breaking' clarity when you are face to face at eye level with the TV.

As soon as you move one foot to the side, up or down the picture will go darker.

Pioneer is the absolute best for large TV's - however they are also costly.

JVC defiantly come next. We have a 37inch JVC which is nearly 5 years old now and is on all the time. Every time some one comes in the first question they ask is - 'what's inside that one'

Toshiba are superb as well though the frames are slightly shoddy and they seem a little over priced.

Samsung, Sony and Panasonic are all lower priced units designed to get you to buy. Then in a years time you will want something a little nicer and buy again.
Avoid these like the plague.

Hope that helps a little

Looking a bit 'long in the tooth' nowadays but here's my 47" LG LCD lounge installation from 2007.



The set is more than two years old and was one of the first 1080p models about. Looking around at the latest TV sets I'd say picture quality of newer LCD's is getting close to that of plasmas.

Best to get to the TV store to demo a few different TV's to you using the same BLURAY film disck and same BLURAY player . Only then can you really tell how well the the TV will cope with demanding 1080p images. If the TV handles 1080P sources well then it should be okay with any other signal and you might be on to a winner.
