Hi all,
My Phillips 32 CRT has just died, and I need to replace with a 40/42 modern screen.
I was very happy with the CRT quality on SD and wouldnt be replacing it if it hadnt of died. Im at a bit of a juncture on what to do next.
Im tempted to go for a nice LG 1080 LED such as the LG42LS570T for £479 LG 42LS570T | 42 inch LED TV 1080p HD Ready Freeview HD | Richer Sounds
Or the Samsung UE40ES5500 for £529
Buy Samsung UE40ES5500 LED HD 1080p Smart TV, 40 Inch with Freeview HD online at JohnLewis.com
However is this LED worth going for when 90% of my watching will be in SD/Freeview HD? Ive heard that plasmas are kinder on an SD signal than LED. I appreciate that SD is never gong to look stellar on a big screen, but some of the pictures Ive seen in the shops look horrible. I have no intention of signing up to SKyHD or Virgin, so would a plasma be a better option?
My alternative thinking is the Panasonic Plasma TX-P42X50B for £369
Buy PANASONIC TX-P42X50B | 42" VIERA PLASMA TV - Plasma TVs | Comet
As a really cheap option there is a Samsung plasma at £279 at argos surely this is a duff model?
