Just gotten rid of an LG PYX11. 42 inches of reasonable quality. Need to replace it.
Initially I thought no question - Hi Def is the way to go. But the Hitachi 7200 is around 1800 quid and the Pannys are £ 2200-2500 for 42".
Looking at how high end SD Panny's dropped from over 2k to just over 1k, and with SED due in 12-18 months I'm considering lowering the bar and just spending 1k to 1200 quid on an SD set for now. With a view to replacing in 12-18 months with Hi Def or SED.
I used to be a videophile and picture quality was all, but with a baby, a wife, two cars and work, I don't have time or money to spend on this stuff.
What is everyone's view on this ? At £ 1200 now, I could enjoy it for a year or two and then give it to my parents or use it in my den.
I'd prefer to buy from JL and get the 5 year warranty. Any recommendations/price matches ?
