keg Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 OK so being an actual expert i'll ask the relevant questions... What sort of ambient light in the room at normal viewing times? No electronic display will work well in bright sunlight. Netflix (from what device?) NOt a smart TV (no standard for a "smart TV" its just a TV with "smart" on the box so dont be put off many have netflix iplayer etc built in Where will in live? on a stand? in a corner? on a wall? Want to connect PC for HD pawn? Some myths Plasma are more expensive to produce and ship..aging factories are not being replaced everyone wants cheap...... LED are LCD its the back light type not the technology older LCD's have CFL backlights, some are back lit some edge lit pros and cons General advice PLasma stick to panasonic 42"+ (don't go too small) LCD Samsung are good panasonic are catching, Sony overpriced, Philips very hit and miss, Toshiba ala philips, LG king of budget have some great features generally poor OSD and sound (use them for monitor displays and digital signage a lot).No names from DSG/Aldi/asda etc I wouldnt... Fancy something different have a look a Loewe (B&O esque) As to where to buy from JL offer good prices and 5 year warranty and price match. Try a few local places for "special deals" they are getting competitive compared to the supermarkets and amazon........ Not a myth, just received one of my trade mags. Pana have confirmed they are pulling out of Plasma next year, leaving just Samsung & LG. Plasma market share will be 10%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yeah was confirmed a while ago shame really the matsu****a toray panels were the best the Fujitsu engineered ones still the best I have seen but the future is bright ......

Longchalk Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 +1 for Samsung. I bought a 36" inch LED about 5 months ago and it's excellent in all respects. Sure it's a "smart" tv, most of the major brands all are nowadays, but it that's not your cuppa, just don't press the button. I do find it handy having I-player and net-flix etc all built in though. I also prefer the crispness and resolution of LED over plasma any day, and the sound, in my admittedly small cottage is far more than enough.

Thunderbird Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Reckon I've narrowed it down to Samsung. I've had a few LGs in the past and never been disappointed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Pop along to JL they have a good display have a look and listen then google the best price and ask them to match it. Or save the hassle and just buy it take it home and be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE AD Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Ive got some 50" plasma tv's at £50 each, the volume button does not work, but at that price you cant turn them down I'll get my coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
