I'm experimenting with different types of Television at the moment, it's doing my head in.. but it has to be done.
I originally thought I'd try a Plasma Screen, the Philips version I got more or less destroyed my original vision of how good Plasma's are. Then I ordered the Panny PV500, but as it turns out I now can't afford it anymore, plus lots of imperfections keep popping up like sound buzzing, having to do all this calibration to it, Screenburn etc.
So I thought I'd go for the middle ground, not CRT, but not Plasma. However even looking through the HD Ready LCD thread confused the hell out of me. Here is what I need. My price range is limited.. Nothing over £1000.
Idealy I'd want a 32" screen, with RGB Scart and a Componant Connection. Wether it can connect to my PC I don't really mind. And it has to be High Definition Ready, and maybe have that HDMI Connection? Since I'm planning on using it with the new consoles coming out.
I'll be mostly using my games consoles on it, which I already have all the Componant and RGB Scarts for.
So nice and simple, can anyone suggest to me any GOOD LCD TV's.. ( I'm also going to assume that any 32" LCD would be widescreen? ) preferably ones that don't as such suffer from whatever imperfections LCD tv's have. I'm not sure what Blocking and Ghosting are.. but they don't sound nice.
Also I read that LCD's don't work too well if they're the only light source in the room, making blacks look like grays and such. Are there any ways around this? Because at night I usually play with only the TV as light.. especially for Dark games like Silent Hill, where having my light on completely ruins the mood.
You guys have been very good at teaching me before.. I mean, before I came here I didn't know what Composite and Componant was.. and I didn't know there were different types of Scart.
So please help me with TV suggestions, I'll look them up cheap myself. But I'm just looking for a TV without annoying little trinkets, and a solution to the watching it in the dark thing.
Also, are LCD TV's susceptable to Screenburn? And if so.. is it as bad as the Plasma Screenburn?
Thanks.
