Hi all
Before i begin, i have search the forum before beginning this post.
I'm looking to get my first plasma display. I will generally be using it for watching the odd DVD, But my main source of entertainment would come from my NTL line. I have no real plans to get HD Sky, only when NTL go HD will i ever be watching a HD feed.
It seems that the pannys have good reviews on SD, especially the new gens and the PHD8's. Problem is my Budget is around 1800 tops which must include a home cinema kit ( can't have a plasma without decent speakers), and before you say px60 or 600, im not too keen on the silver surround, much prefer piano black.
Was looking at the pio but the amount of retention issues is putting me off. can get a sxe pretty cheap these days with egg card.
Hitachi 9700 was also on my mind but heard that it has very bad build quality, is this true 9700 owners?
Any one have any ideas?
oh and im looking at either 37-42"
Thanks in advance for any help.
