Hello all,
Been thinking of buying a plasma for some time now, and nows the time to pick one. I dont know anything really about the different makes or specs. All I know so far is that I have about £1600 to spend on one, and I'm still undecided on whether i want HD or not. I visited local electrical store other day to see all the different screens, I firstly looked at a Panny TH42PE50 Viera, I did this mainly cos a friend of mine has one and i liked the look of it when I seen it in his front room.
I was really impressed with picture quality and colours, colours especially when comparing them to screens sat on either side of the panny. However when I shown the other half she said it was "Ugly" She then pointed out to me that she liked a Philips 42PF7520D/10, I was unsure at first. Then the sales person stuck a HD feed from a pc to the screen and it looked the part, however after reading this forum and looking at the specs of the screen I see that the Panny is better.
I doubt I would be using the screens to watch HD to start with and if I did it would only be now and then. However I would be watching alot of normal television a few DVDs and Cable television from NTL. I just need pointing in the right direction on what I should be taking into consideration when choosing a screen.
panny = £1595.75
philips = £1512.75
