Hi,
as with many people I've gone bog-eyed reading the threads on this excellent site. So many models, so many good reviews and so many opinions!
I've narrowed it down to 2 models I think: 42" Panasonic TH-P42V10 or 46" Sony KDL-W5500. I have a budget of around £1000-1200 (or less if on offer!).
I'm not a TV fanatic nor an avid games player so the TV will be used for general viewing plus I'll be taking advantage of watching some HD programmes & DVDs; it will be used by my kids for light game playing (Wii & PS3); and I'd like to watch videos from my PC either by linking it to the TV or via any other methods available. Normal viewing distance is approx 8 feet.
I quite like the freesat option with the Panasonic as we're beginning to think that Sky isn't such great value for our viewing habits.
To be honest, I'm at a loss to know which to pick as both seem to have pros and cons mentioned aplenty in these forums (e.g., plasma burn, LCD brightness etc etc).
Now, I appreciate that the Plasma fans may say the Panasonic & the LCD fans may say the Sony (in fact I had to flip a coin as to whether to post this in the Plasma or LCD forum!).
But I'd appreciate your views on the comparison between the above 2 models, as my own research is driving me nuts!
So, what do you think?
Cheers
