Just spent a while in my local RS store. I explained that I was considering the Panny VT20 or a samsung LCD/LED. I also mentioned that I was not concerned with 3D, but wanted the best 2D picture. I was asked if I had sky and when I said yes we had sky plus I was told that I should not get a plasma of any sort as there would be screen burn. My wife and kids do leave it on pause for a long time! When I mentioned that I thought this was a thing of the past I was told that it was not. He also said that I should discount the Samsung screens as they were over bright and when this was turned down, some of the detail was lost.
His suggestions were Philips 46PFL805 and an LG 47LE8900. I must admit, viewing these with a samsung series 8 and a Panny G20, the Samsung did look very bright. Also the motion on the Philips was better than the G20. Strangely, I found myself leaning towards the cheaper LG panel, the colours seemed more naatural and the detail was pretty good as well. This was all on BBC HD.
Does anybody have any experience of these two sets? I was also told sport would not be an issue either.
Kind regards
