Hi folks,
I've just cancelled my order for 42" Hitachi PD6600 plasma, due to concern of screen burn. One of my mate's bought the same plasma and it has been ruined within days, due to screen burn... and having seen the mess on his screen, it was enough for me to cancel my order without hesitation.
I am now considering buying either a new CRT or waiting till the LCD televisions out there get better with ther picture quality..
I must admit that i've never rated LCD televisions from what i've seen of them previously and they've always seemed inferior to plasmas in terms of picture quality by some distance... or at least that's been my perception.
I realise that picture quality is a subjective thing, but I am basically looking for picture quality in a new tele that at least resembles what I get with my CRT television.. and while plasmas aren't perfect, they come fairly close in terms of contrast, vibrant colours and picture quality.
On the other hand, the LCD televisions i've seen always seemed to resemble the picture on my flat screen TFT computer monitor or laptop screen, which is blurry, pixellated and lacking in depth.
That's the reason I wasn't very keen on going for an LCD, but obviously I do realise that LCDs do not suffer from screen burn issues and that's really what I'm more concerned about at the moment if I were to get a new television.
Basically I am after a 37" or above (preferably 40"+) LCD screen, which boasts pic quality that is as good as a plasma.
My main worry is motion blur, I watch a lot of football and cricket and won't be able to stand the jitter that i've seen on some LCDs... (even some plasmas, are quite poor in this regard to be honest)..
I am particularly interested in the new Sony LCD televisions out there, can anyone confirm what they are like with football or cricket?
Also, i'm aware with my TFT monitor that I look at it from an angle, the picture looks messed up.. is this also a problem with LCD televisions ?
Thanks, in advance..
