I Need ANOTHER new TV !
« on: 14 April 2007, 21:17:28 »
About 4 months ago i asked for some advice on here about a new tv for the bedroom.

Took the top advice and have since had a stunning 37" lcd in there.

Now we have decided the 36" ( or so) crt in the living room is too too small.

So techies of the forum ( for i know nothng on the subject)...

Any recommendations for a super huge lcd for my living room?

40" plus and willing to spend £1000 - 1500 or so.....

Any thoughts on either of these

Markie, my advice is don't go bigger unless you have SkyHD....

My friend has a 42" Pioneer LCD, sexy TV!

However normal TV looks shocking bad on it! Very pixelated, very poor resolution for normal TV viewing..... (he is on normal Sky)

Pioneer do Plasmas - one of the few decent ones as well - I don't normally like them and the only reason I'm put off the Pioneer plasma is power consumption and screen burn risk!

I can get Sony stuff at a competitive price through a contact. Trouble is, I refuse to let those lying, useless, swindling scumbags at Sony UK have any more of my money.

He had a Samsung there previously which I saw, which was very nice... he dropped that.  ::)

So replaced it with a Pioneer, which i belive was set up right. It was fine for most things, but anything with a white background showed how poor its upscaling was.

You still get the best image on CRT's .....
