Can someone please help me out as im so confused! Ive looked at various posts but the more i read the more confused i get.
Im in the market for a new TV have an old 42" Plasma at the minute but would like to get something a bit bigger so was looking at a 50" Plasma or a 46" LCD.
Will mainly be used for watching SD tv, xbox 360 and PS3 Gaming (may occasionally watch a blue ray on PS3) and i do intend to get SKY HD at some point in the future. I sit in my armchair mainly about 9 feet away although my sofa is only about 7 feet away.
I dont think im bothered about 1080p full HD as i dont expect to use it much and im sure i wont notice the difference.
Anyway here are some questions that maybe some of you could answer
1 - Will an LCD be better for the Gaming side? Im worried i wont be able to use the plasma for gaming untill its had its 200 hr run in?
2 - What realistic difference between a res of 1024x768 and 1365x768 and is the higher res better?
3 - General opinion is if you sit closer to the tv then 1080p is important with a set over 42" is this correct? and how much difference will it make at 7-9 feet?
My budget is £1200 max and the options ive looked at so far are:
Plasma - the Panasonic TH50PX70 (£1000) or the Samsung PS50Q97HDx (£899) not sure if the difference in res on these two makes much difference?
LCD - Sharp LC46XL2E (Full 1080p) at £1199 inc free blueray player
Hope some of you can help me on this one, many thanks in advance
