OK, brief history.
We purchased our current Samsung 40" LCD almost 5yrs ago. After 3yrs there was a problem and most of the screen went "psychedelic". Thankfully we'd purchased it with a 5yr warranty and a logic board (I believe) was replaced.
Just recently we've had a new problem, there is a horizontal line 6" from the bottom and everything under that line is pixelated, occasionally this area flickers off, but is usually on.
I know technology has moved on. To give you an idea, we paid £1100 for this TV. It was FullHD which I know a lot weren't at the time, but still it wasn't cheap.
So potentially looking for a replacement.
40" suits us althought we could probably get away with 42"
Despite the issues we have been blown away with the Samsung with HD sources.
Don't really want to spend £1100 again on one. But I do appreciate that you do need to spend a fair amount to get a good unit.
3D is "interesting" but not at the expense of 2D. So if there is 3D as an option, but the 2D doesn't suffer then it might be nice to have. BUt watching Blu-Rays and SkyHD are the main use of the unit.
So with all that in mind, where would your ££££ be going?
