Looking to get a new television, ideally pretty soon since our current one just broke but we got a full refund (it was out of warranty as well - got to love Costco!). Firstly, would it be better waiting until after Christmas, or would it not make much difference?
Down to the television:
- Mainly used for football, films (Sky Movies and Blu-Ray) and TV series, all in high-definition. I'm thinking a plasma would be better for this, am I correct?
- I'm not bothered about 3D. I imagine it would be a decent option to watch some matches and films/programmes in 3D on Sky, but that would probably be it. Looking online though, it seems that most TVs in my range include 3D, would that be a waste for myself? Should I specifically look for a non-3D TV?
- Budget is £1000 absolute maximum. Ideally I wouldn't want to spend all of that, a couple hundred left over would go down nicely!
- Size, 40"+. Probably wouldn't need to be bigger than 46.
- Manufacturer, I've always bought Samsungs, and always enjoyed them (ignoring the last one breaking after only four years). However, they have all been LCD. I'm new to the plasma scene, so if a plasma is for me then I'm open to advice on what to look for, and what not to look for.
Any advice or recommendations would be excellent!
