I know, I know its been done to death but would just like an uptoday option.

I watch normal tv / sky not really in to my sport and sometime watch the odd film on sky movies.

What should I buy, Plasma or LCD ??

I am wanting the new Sony that comes out in October, no bigger than a 42"
Cant remember the model number but is coming out at around £2k

What would I loose or gain from going to plasma ?

 

The model I am after is Sony 40" X4500

 

Bit difficult to say until the screen is released and we can see what it looks like when running

For me, plasma is still the king though. Better refresh rates and better colours (especially on the larger screens).

 

I would not touch an LCD, plasma all the way. Ask any high end audio bod what large TV they have and most will say plasma (or a projector).

I spent 7 months looking at panels before I bought and LCD was canned very early on in the search.

 

Another for Plasma here. Did quite a bit of research and found the picture more lifelike. LCD is too clinical to me which suits animations but not much else, especially SD content and Sport. Been running a Pioneer 42" for 2 months now and its awesome - just gotta sort out a PS3 to watch some blu-ray now.

i just bought an optoma hd70 projector and an 80" screen

 

At the risk of repeating myself, I have a large and expensive Sony LCD TV, that was raved about in reviews when it came out. It very good, for an LCD: but if I was spending my own money then Id be looking at a gas-plasma set.

With regards to 'done to death': a couple of years ago there were lots of "what LCD TV for £2,500" threads and now there are lots of "what LCD for £500" threads.....

 

Yeah the seem to have fallen in price. But im still looking at spending £2k ish

I really like Sony as a product..... Its a mine field in the world of TV's now.

 

Plasma all the way

Can't fault my 42" Panny
