What was the prob with the LG, thats my No.1 choice at the moment

Sosbanite

The g/f was in the market for a new telly recently and after much research and viewing she settled on the Samsung 32" 6000 series LED - just over £600 from Richer sounds. It's a great set and I'm well impressed with it. Handles SD well, good colour palette with excellent blacks and good contrast levels.
HTH!

You do realise that the SL 9000 is an LCD tv that is just backlit with LED's ?

Its not a true LED tv.Nonetheless picture quality is much improved.

Have a read here...Quite interesting..

Isn't the only difference between an LCD and LED is the LED will be thinner?
Picture quality is the same, I've heard.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

No,LED backlit is better mainly due to the huge contrast ratio an LED can offer.

Yeah got that ta fella, spent the last two days dredging sites and forums

Compared to the 3 1/2 yo Digimate LCD we got at the mo it will be like Liquid Gold Display

Not really looked at 'true led' tv's, wanted a large screen so cost was limiting, comes with 5 years on site warrenty so will see us into the next gen and see how the prices go then

dpb

I * presume * it could be easy too repair an led tv


- im probably wrong

Glowplug

I think you probably are Wouldn't like to take the job on myself

The 5 year warrenty should take care of it

The Sharp Aquos (spelling aplogies now) LED gets some good reviews

Any body got a sharp ??

No, but over the last week or so i have, like you, read some rave reviews on it. Good choice me thinks

Not sure of LG, any one had problems?????

Leslie

Are they eventually going to produce full LED tv sets, and how will they compare for quality with a plasma?

Les

Diesel

You'll love the telly but its a whacking 'early-adopter' premium for an LCD that has (low cost) LED's as the backlight instead. It also has the inherent characteristics of LCD versus plasma but that can of worms is long settled in my little black book !

D (who took out BUPA cover before lifting his plasma!)

hughes741

if you want a good tele wait for OLED. picture quality is amazing but at the minute iirc the only one available is about a 12" sony for £1k

As i said above, after trawlling the net for info none of them seem to be 'totally' problem free, the AV forums get very '****' and techy End of the day it's down to personal choice, i got 5 years on site warrenty with mine, so i've essentially got a nice screen for the next 5 years no probs

Yes Les i think from what i read full LED sets will be available in the not so distant future and in 5 years+ time they will be widely available and affordable Plasma still apperently suffer from screen burn but their are people out there that still prefer them, never having owned a plasma i can't really compere

I have had 2 Plasma TV's over the years.A Philips and now a Panny Viera. I also have a cheap 32" Full HD LCD in the bedroom,and too be honest the Panny plasma knocks spots off it,even though its only "HD ready"..

Having looked at the picture on the backlit LCD's,i think that they are a decent enough jump in quality to buy new.. I love the picture on them,but like Diesel says,it is at a premium at the moment.That said,Bats LG at £1050 inc 5 yrs waranty is a good deal and not to be sniffed at..

I maybe in the market myself for something around 42"..Then sell my trusty viera..

Leslie

It will be interesting to see how they are then, but with the present price as quoted above I think I will wait for a bit

I have had 2 plasmas, the one I have now is 1080p and I am very happy with the picture quality. My present one is a Panasonic and the quality both standard and HD is very good. The colours are very natural too.

Yeah see your point Les, we have been umming and arring for ages and just decided to bite the bullet, to tell the truth i don't think our present 32" budget box will last much longer, it has some non descript shadowy lines appearing and the bug the **** out of me

Have a quick look here, but you have been warned

I have just bought the What HiFi TV of the year, a Philips 42PFL9664, and it truly is a good as good as it's reviews, simply stunning, but at a bit of a cost premium, around £1300.
Especially when coupled to a Sony 12 bit blue ray player, again What hifi best buy Sony BDS760.
