I have been reading these forums and have found them very helpful. My old Sanyo 28" TV has been dieing over the last few weeks so I started to investigate a replacement. I was going for a Hyundai A321 LCD 32" but I realised that when I get High Def I want it in the cinema room. So bottom line was I wanted a Big panel for £699 or less. So in the end gambled on the Argos £699 42" Acoustic Solutions Plasma. Anyway here are my first impressions:
It has the following connections: HDMI, DVI, HD15(Computer monitor), component, svideo, 2 scarts, 1 pair phono audio in, a 3.5mm audio in socket for DVI, and an aerial in socket.
The speakers are removable.
The picture is very good on DVD (RGB input from old LG player), Sky+ picture is good not great but I think thats just digital arty problems from Sky? Main problem is sometimes skin colour is a bit blocky.
The sound isnt too bad considering its from small speakers, its loud enough.
The remote is a very cheapy thing. The sky+ remote code is 065 (Beko). The on Light is too bright and is blue, the standby light is megga bright red.
One annoying problem is that when you turn it on it doesnt remember which input you last used, so you cant just use the Sky+ remote as you cant select inputs.
Overall I am very pleased, yes I could have spent more and got a better picture but I think that I would have had to spend 50% more to get a bit better picture. So for me I will save the money and save up for a HD projector and hopefully Sky HD will have more HD channels and not be £10 a month extra.
Anyone else have any comments on the Argos Plasma???
Cheers
