Hi, this seems like the best place I've found on the internet for answering this sort of question so here we go......................
I have been revving myself up over the past few months to buy a 42" plasma screen. However, time limitations and not wanting to rush into things has limited the amount of research I've been able to do.
My main requirement if spending that sort of money on a TV is that it is future proof as much as is reasonably practical. Given that the next big thing is HDTV I want to make sure it will be capable of taking that happily and given that I get all my TV via Sky its going to have to have HDMI following Sky's edict about the connectivity of their HDTV box when it arrives.
I've always liked Sony TVs but none of theirs have the right connections so that's out. I really like the Pioneer PDP434XDE but my wife is grumbling about additional boxes in the living room as it has the separate tuner box (My hifi is in a separate room to the lounge so I can have as many boxes as I like in there but the lounge is her domain).
As such does anyone have or know where I can find a comprehensive list of 42" screen that have the necessary HDMI connection and that are currently available or are going to be out soon? Ideally with no additional tuner box although I may be able to win that argument on the basis of fewer wires going to the TV if I try hard enough.
