LG are pretty good when it comes to screen quality set again VfM. You'll get longevity out of one too.
TVs have become one of those posturing types of material things though. A bit like the sports car thing. "Oh we have a 40inch". "Well I bought a 56inch last month" and so on. The bigger the screen, the more compensating for something. I guess that's why I write long paragraphs
Makes me think of the Harry Enfield sketch..."We are considerably. considerably, richer, than yauuu!"
