Hi Guys
I am at present looking at buying a 42" Panel for the TV room. Was looking at Plasma at first. I went to Atlantic2U showroom as I am getting them to install the whole package and work with my builder. I will have the following feeds to it. Sky (HD and SD), Bose Lifestyle 35 and HTPC.
Had a look at the Pio PDP-436XDE and was pretty comfortable with that until saw the Philips demo'd to me. The picture was absolutely stunning. As a large amount of my TV input will be SD and DVD(Not HD), the picture was very crisp and sharp. The same DVD on the Pioneer was not that clear. The HD picture was brilliant too.
I was advised that the Sony Bravia panels are not as good as the Philips. Is this correct?
As this is my first panel, I am not sure what to look out for about absolutely blacks etc on a test. So now, I am little confused. I thought the Philips was absolutely brilliant and was going to buy that until I read the views of other people. I have read the review about the Philips in the magazines and they are absolutely behind it.
The other benefit of going for an LCD for me is that as my 8 year old will be watching Cartoon Network on this TV, there will be no issue of screen burn mark with the CN logo.
Any happy Philips owners out there?? Should I go with it?
Cheers
