HD TV's

Wouldn't touch LG.

Nothing wrong with LG. Have a read on avforums.com and you'll see they are very well regarded, there was even a long thread on which was best, an LG or the equivalent Panasonic with opinion being divided.

I got an LG 42PG6000 about six months ago and it rocks, think I paid about £500 to £550 at the time.

TV's are all more or less the same to me.

Colour: Check.
Remote control: Check.

That's me done.

I remember LG being a cheap & shit brand originally, but its not the case anymore. Their picture and sound is up there with the best, they look good (arguably the best) and they're normally a fair bit cheaper as well. Panasonic and Sony have the edge still but most people can't tell the difference (or aren't bothered) so why pay the extra money?

Only problem with my LG plasma is that sports in SD don't look brilliant (though still very watchable), but that's more a flaw with plasma than LG. No problem with sports in HD though, they look stunning on it.

I bought an LG 50" Plasma 3 months ago, did loads of research at currys etc, and The best sub 1k for picture quality was the LG. Best place i found to buy was Amazon, as was £280 cheaper than currys and only £4.50 delivery. On top of that they unpacked and took the packaging. Picture quality is superb even on non hd channels, and blinding with my LG BD370 Blu ray.

wasn't that long ago that they were getting poor reviews jonny.when looking for mine(2 years ago)lg soon got scratched off the list of possibilities for that reason.
personally i'd not look at anything other than panasonic, unless the deal was unbelievably good on a sony.
that said, my parents goodmans tv puts some other top brand tv's to shame,which i found them after they wanted a cheap but decent tv.
at work we have an accoustic solutions tv and it is absolute shit.

What's football like on it in SD? As I said, mine isn't brilliant though its better once you're about 10 foot away though I'm probably just being picky as its still great to watch. I notice the HD difference most with football though.

Whilst I haven't got Blu Ray I did get an LG DVD Recorder as well, I've been watching Lost through it and the upscaling / picture quality is so good its put me off buying a Blu Ray at the moment. I watch everything else through my V+ and that probably helps as its supposed to have upscaling as well.

I think it was the new range they released in 2008 was the big improvement, pretty certain they were the ones getting favourable reviews compared to Panasonic at the time and they're still getting good reviews now.

Football on SD is really good, i actually used that to benchmark in shops, on a lot of the tv's you would get ball trails, or fuzzy picture. dont get any of that on mine. I would only go to Blu Ray if you watch stuff like natures great events or films with lots of scenery, it does make a difference, for your normal type indoor film for example DVD is good enough.  What i do like about my player is it hooks directly to Youtube via cat5 to my tv box, quite often end the evening with a beer watching music clips.

I want a 50"+ TV soon, my 37" initially seemed massive but you soon get used to it and I think it's quite small now.

Good job women dont think the same, initially it seemed so big...and now it seems quite small!

[Samdy Gray]

I reckon if I move the speakers I can get a 50 incher in there...

Likewise.

My 40 inch Samsung seemed massive at first but now I think it's quite small!

I'm getting a 50 inch Panasonic Plasma soon.

Probably going to need £650ish for a good one.

I'm not overally bothered by HD I guess I could stretch to £650.

In truth I've got £2,000 to spend but I need a few other things out of that.
