So what's the best? One mate says plasma, and his DOES have a good pic.

My two lads both have Samsung LCD and they are good pics.

My bro in law has a backlit LED one, he reckons it's a better pic than mine, which is a Toshiba CRT, (yes, some of us do still have old technology), but I can't see that ANY of them are actually BETTER than mine.

And what of any NEW technology? Aren't OLED and SEED on the way?

So: plasma, LCD, LED, or something else?

Are you long or short sighted ?

Panasonic plasma. Pricey but very good.

LED have brought LCD's closer to PDP's with better blacks and contrast, but I always prefer the natural, film-like image a good Plasma offers. An LCD generally suits casual TV viewers and gamers, PDP is better for serious TV and film lovers. We have a good (Philips) LCD in the bedroom and a Panasonic PDP in the lounge, and the PDP is like looking through a window compared to the LCD being more like watching (a very good) TV. Our PDP is now quite old, and more up to date sets are much better. A Pana G20 with 600hz and Freeview/Freesat HD is stunning for around £1k, or go the whole hog and get a VT20 with 3D (you might not use/need it now, but you might regret not having it in a years time) for £1.8k.

Edited to add, the new ranges normally ship late January to early Feb, so there'll be some decent offers in the NY sales. Or wait for the new models which may move the game yet further. I'm a bit out of the loop and don't know what they're planning next, but there's usually a big leap in capabilities every year now.

Jeff, when you're better and come round mine I'll show you my tv. Probably just what you want but can be had lots cheaper now. I wouldn't have thought you'd need a super duper 1000000 pixel backlit 95" ABC LED 3D TV

Come with me round Comet or Currys and we'll barter !!

Littleted

Panasonic Plasma end of

Plasma was outdated at one point by LCD but its back and is honestly better.

The LED Tvs are good but some bleed alot

U wont go wrong though if u go Samsung or Panni

pers choice though would be Panni

I have both and Xfactor this weekend looked much better in HD on the panni plasma more crisp deep blacks etc.

And that's a good thing?

Another vote for a Pany Viera Plasma.

Have a couple of Panisonic 2010 range T.Vs in the house. Have both a 37" LED backlit LCD and a 42" 3D TV G seiries Plasma The one you can buy from Comet with the 3D Blu-ray player and glasses thrown in). The LED one is very good with hardly any blur on motion. The Plasma is very good, but still have that issue with burn in on a PLasma if you leave something displayed on pause for a long time. Bought the Plasma as the lounge is quite a dark room and I beleive Plasma make use of this. Also note that had a bit of an issue with Comet as I barted on free delivery with them in the store, but when the whole lot came, only the TV was correct. The free 2 pairs of 3D glasses were missing and got an upscaling DVD player. In the end managed to get the missing pieces but it was a faff.

Jamie

Ask lewis he will know

stilover

Agreed. I have a 42" Plasma. ******* Brilliant it is.

What more recommendation could you want?

Their should be a sticky at the top as this gets asked most weeks lol, what about having a seperate AV forum as their seems to be one for most other things like PC`s and DIY etc.

Another vote for a Panasonic Viera plasma, ive had mine for 3 years and the picture is stunning.

Funkii Munkii

And another 42" here, had Pannys for the past 20 years, none have failed only ever moved on to an upgrade, always found the whites and blacks better on a Panny than any other make.

I think Currys are advertising a 42" 1080p Panny for £449, proper value I tell thee

RAJ27

Have one of these:

Good telly and no screen burn....their's a function if left on pause, the tv refreshes the picture and after a few minutes a screen saver comes on.

ChefDude

My Kuro spanks any panasonic plasma, but you can't get them any more

So, I'd probably get a panasonic now.

That's a Philips, dunx

Any Philipos stuff I've ever had was unreliable and their customer service was very poor.

corradoboy

Strange, Philips is one brand I've never had any bother with.

Leslie

I have never noticed my 42" plasma doing anything like that!

Les

corradoboy

Connect it to the PC and it might

Leslie

He is right though, it is very good!
