hummm, im looking at the LG 50PG4000 and quite impressed by it,
seeing it in the flesh.
shopping around like i did 3 years ago, going into high street shops and SEEING the dam things side by side.

all linked up showing the same HD demo loop its a good start as to see what looks good to me.

last time it was a 42" LG that wowed me, stood side by side with pannys and other makes.
some how the LG's pic just stood out by a mile.


sure i use the net to get an idea of whats out there. but noting beats seeing this shit in the real world.


ok, so at the moment, funny enough its another LG thats got my eye.
as mentioned above the LG 50PG4000, looks proper sexy.

so, seen any good plasmas out there? i should point out my budget is upto 1K.

simplyask them to hook it up to a true HD/1080p source instead of the daisy chained bullshit repeater signal they usually use. if they wanna sell that thousand dollar TV they'll do it.

I have a Pioneer, would have said go for that but they've dropped out of the market now. Perhaps you should wait for the next gen of OLEDs.

In any case get them to hand you the remote, then put the colour and contrast back to proper settings and watch a normal channel rather than their pre-rendered crap - that will give you a better indicator of daily use; unless you plan to watch National Geographic HD every day.

A mate of mine has just bought a new 42" LCD.

He did a shit load of research and Samsung came out top. There are different series/models.

He went for a series 9 (model LE46A956), which has some sort of led technology that makes black, really black and not dark grey, which makes the picture sharper.

Also, this one has a usb slot and plays DivX off of a usb stick.

Shame I have fuck all money, otherwise i'd get one!

Just googled LG and Samsung as I remembered reading something about those two companies in the LCD market. Here's the skinny (mostly from wiki):

- LG and Samsung produce virtually every TFT screen in the world...they're then rebranded by every other company.

- Samsung produce the quality end, LG the value end. (I don't think that's by choice, it's by those that purchase to rebrand.)

- In 2006 Sony bought a stake in the LCD market by setting up a co-op with Samsung to produce LCD's...though, tellingly, Samsung own 51% of that partnership

- In 2007 Samsung overtook Sony to become the world's largest electronics company...having 20% of all South Korea's exports.

- Samsung have their own university from which they cherry-pick graduates for roles within the company.

Pretty impressive...apart from them sponsoring the chav cunts!

50" LCD are going for $998 at a local chain though not sure of the brand. I'd have to agree with Salad, LCD is the best choice now.
