Please point me in the right direction if this is covered ad nauseum already (and if so sorry
), but I have the same "which plasma should I buy" question as most people do, but my problem is that I will be unable to get anything but freeview via a regular aerial in my new property, and so I am not sure to what extent that should restrict my purchasing choice?
Basically I am looking for a plasma, and have a budget of around £1,200. I will not be able to get a satellite dish of any description, and cannot get cable. I have been advised that getting a 50" screen is pushing the envelope as far as the basic freeview channels are concerned (I may watch a few blu-rays, but not many as these will be on the pj in due course). So what would you do in my shoes? Should I just go for a 42" screen, should I just go for 720p (and then if I go for 42" then what is a good choice for freeview only signals?), and therefore save myself a shedload of money? Or should I look seriously at a Panny 50G10 and will it give me anything more overall (other than more dusting to do for the missus
). Thanks in advance for anyone's advice
