Hi folks,
I seen the LG 42PX3RV Plasma in Dixons the other day, priced at £1399. I asked for a DVD demo and while the player was hardly top of the range, the picture through a standard scart was impressive.
However, while not 100% HD Ready, the set does have an HDMI output which will come in handy for Xbox360 in December. Sadly, I've been told by a friend who says he "knows people" with Plasmas, that playing games on a Plasma is painful because the "screen can't keep up" or "refresh properly".
I would appreciate some further info on playing games on Plasma as I don't have the funds to go for a 42" LCD and the LG with it's HDMI and Component Out is an attractive prospect.
Are Plasma's useless at displaying games, or is this another "old wives tale" aimed at scaring people off Plasmas? For what it's worth, my mate owns a Samsung 42" LCD ... the set I'd love to go for but just cannot afford sadly.
Many thanks.
For the record, the Plasma would be displaying:
Denon DVD-2900
Sky Digital
Xbox
PlayStation2
Xbox360 (pre-ordered and paid for in full)
I'm completely new to Plasma so if anyone could explain how to get the best from my components on the LG mentioned, I would be more than grateful.
