Best place to get one??

I'd say Currys/Dixons.

Going to be getting one soon myself, the old telly's on the blink so I've persuaded the missus to get a plasma  8)

I think we got ours from Currys 42" and its ace for footy!

I've also been advised that if you get anything above 37" you should get a Plasma rather than LCD.

LCD picture quality gets worse the bigger the screen is. Although, a Plasma will probably only last 3 years.

I don't want to spend more than approx £500. Is that possible. About 28" or 32".

You'll be able to find something for that, I have no opinion on what though!

As for HD, meh. Hd is quite nice but not worth the extra £10 a month I pay to sky for me. If you watch all the footy and stuff you might have a different opinion.

Still ITV and  C4 will be providing HD content soon, and BBC HD will move from trial to full channel status so that might up the 'free' content somewhat if I canel.

They are great until you get dead pixels

We just got a 46" LCD, and it's superb.

www.247electrical.co.uk is really good/cheap

for under £500 you should be able to get a 32" Samsung LCD.

Right i'm being really thick here. LCD is better than HD/plasma?  :?  :oops:

I just want a tele that I can use with my xbox...

LCD is HD too, assuming to you subscribe to a HD provider like SKY HD. LCD is better in smaller screens and is getting into bigger ones now but they are expensive. I have a 42" plasma and love it, i think its better for films but LCD is better for everyday viewing as they tend to be brighter (backlit).

I use a 32" samsung LCD with an xbox 360 and it works perfectly.

My brother has a couple of these in his house, one is a plasma and one for gaming is an lcd or something as the games ruin a plasma, I think thats right but I never listen as gaming is quite sad at 28!

Cheers all.

Something like this?

I see your friend is back on This is site Dell! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Yes brilliant and shes off raising money I see, she states $11.00+ for blow jobs and $47 for taking up the rear so far this year. :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

What???? I paid double that last time round! :shock:

Sony and Pinoneer make the best HDTV's

The oether producers eg Samsung are ok, but not as good imo.

My mum and dad are about to get some sony 46 inch tv for £3k.  Will post a link on here when i find it

At the time the Woman in Currys told me that the best LCD TV's on the market are Samsung and LG. I asked if Sony were any good, she said that they were but as soon as they break down Sony don't want to know.

Oh and don't get a Plasma as the BULB has a habit of blowing after a year or so.

I think Panasonic are really good from experience.

thats what i've got, can't fault it.

i heard what spud said regarding lg and samsung
.i'm saving up for a samsung myself.i know a few that have them and they are all well happy with them.
we have and acoustic solutions one at work and its shit

Don't ever get a Surround Sound System made by them, that is all.

Plasmas don't have bulbs. While they do have a limited lifespan and potential for screen burn things are a lot lot better now. The average user will get (IMHO) 7-10 years out of one.

A tip is to find the TV you want, in stock in any UK store of your choice (even empire direct , and other online co's  have real stores). Check the John Lewis website to see if they stock the item. Ring the local store (Cribbs) and get them to price match - you may have to pay for delivery, but you get a free 5 year guarentee.

Other than that, you have to work out whether you really need a full 1080 display or whether a 768 or similar will do.

The advantage of the former is you get the full HD detail of 1080 lines from a HD sorce that provides it. The disadvantage is that normal TV (SD) is 540 line (or 480 NTSC) so the telly has to 'guess' the lines inbetween to make up the picture (it still displays 1080 lines, 540 'real' and 540 interpolated). Etc. Etc.

I couldn't remember what the thing was inside them that was pretty dodgy and had a habit of blowing so i just called it a Bulb.  :D

You've got to be careful. If you don't vent the plasma regularly then the relays can go offline. If you're unlucky you could end up with a warp core breach.

Phew

Thank fuck I did mine on Monday then

Buy from Currys or Dixons....on line and use the money of vouchers that are always around on the net to save yourself a few quid

crawling up a jeffery's tube with dirty plasma is not a good idea
