Dear Contributors,
Thanks to everyone here who helped me out with my Mysterious Baird LCD TV
I'm asking for new help now since it's time to purchase a new set. I live near a large Tesco store and came across (what looks like) a good deal for a Toshiba 32 Inch LCD TV.
Model Name: BV502 HD Ready LCD TV
Tesco Price: £208.00 (Recently reduced)
So, I went to Tesco's website. Here I noticed a Technika 22" Full HD 1080p LED TV is on sale for a mere £110.00... Quite a saving over a Tosh!
Here's my question (since I'm from an Era when Colour TVs were luxury items and 20 million people tuned-in to watch Morecambe & Wise).
Should I save £100 and buy the Technika 22 Inch, or "go wild" and invest in the Tosh 32" ? (I've heard good things about Toshiba Sets).
Here's my basic problem: I don't understand the specs....
Technika Set has a contrast ratio of : 1000:01:00
Toshiba Set has : 100000:1
An instore rep at Argos told me "the higher the contrast ratio, the better the set"... But since I don't understand the difference, how can I make an informed judgement?
Another problem is I love my old PlayStation2 Console (that uses S-Video). On my current Baird LCD TV I have the useful S-Video input sockets. These appear to missing on newer sets... So how do gamers plug in their PS2s or PS3s on new sets?
Tecknika Set: S-Video Connection - No
Toshiba Set: S-Video Connection - No
Advice welcomed.
Kind Regards, NB
