Hi guys,
Looking to buy a 50" plasma in the near future, spending about £2k, might possibly stretch to £2.5k if I think it's worth it.
Been reading these forums for the past two days but must admit I'm getting a bit bewildered by the huge range of options. I'm still struggling with the plethora of Panasonic models, haven't even dipped a toe into Samsung, Sony etc!
Wondered if anyone could point me to the favourite contenders. Also wondered whether I am doing myself a disservice by ignoring LCD? I realise it's all subjective but I've gotten the impression that LCD don't handle SD broadcasts very well of which we will still be watching a fair bit for the moment.. If there are LCD's with comparible pictures then please feel free to point them out to me.
Many thanks for any help.
For the record, here are my notes so far.
Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX5090 (Awesome picture - expensive - Pioneer going under)
Pioneer KRP500A (slimmer than above - two box system - £300 more expensive!)
Panasonic Z1 (hideously expensive)
Panasonic VX100 (Business models - too expensive)
Panasonic G10 (neo-PDP? very cheap - doesn't look great)
Panasonic G15 ?
Panasonic V10 (TX-P50V10 - THX - lack of adjustment - cheap - VIERA (Youtube etc))
Panasonic X10 (budget model?)
Philips 52PFL9632D (LCD - interlacing issues)
