That's because the prices have fallen on LCD tv's over the last few months, due to a glut of them on the market. Even with the holidays coming up, there are great deals on them at all sizes.Quote:

You'll see yourself in the plasma screen almost as if you're looking into a mirror, whereas the LCD screen will still look quite black. When the TV is turned on, the reflections aren't as noticable, but lights and windows are still very obvious.Quote:

I can see a huge difference between SD and HD content with iPlayer on my pc with a 24" 1920*1200 monitor.
That is so true. My other half was shocked at how good HD was when he put the glasses that he usually only uses for driving on to watch Englands first world cup match this summer.Quote:

Right, I stopped in Comet on my way home from work and after being offered the web special offer of £100 off I took about two seconds to decide on the plasma! Got a stand for it as well and have to say it looks absolutely superb, still have to figure out the settings etc, but there does seem to be a noticable difference in the HD quality, amazing, watched Black Hawk Down cos it was on, really pleased with it. :D
F1 2010 is on another level totally, exceptional detail and a heck of a lot better, now I will have to spend more time playing to make use of it ;)
So with my prize vouchers at work and the slight price reduction I got the 42" plasma and a £80 stand for the princely sum of £56.... so even if I have any issue with the plasma in the future it's totally worth it in the meantime!
Thanks again for all your advice :) The fitting of it in my mum's Punto was the hardest part.........
Nice one! :cool:
My belated advice — don't bother with a TV and listen to Radio 4 and the World Service, only watching TV down the pub. Works for me.
Save yourself a few quid on the licence fee too I bet!
I was thinking at the weekend that I would gladly pay the licence fee for the F1 coverage alone, I don't see how anyone can moan about it really.Quote:
