its been going round in my mind for the last few days now and its getting worse and worse lol.basically after seeing all this talk of the pv500 and the rave reviews i thought my mind was made up but there is one problem the price tag.i actually have the cash but it wipes out the majority (90 %) of my bank balance in one fell swoop and while i do like the set its self its a pretty big dent considering i can get a SD panel (42pw7) from avsales with all my connection options for exactly £1000 less.
the xbox 360 will be lovely on it obviously but apart from that its gonna be sky hd and god knows how much that will cost for the hardware and then the extra subscription price hike.most of my viewing (say 60%0 is sky+ then xbox and dvd and i really dont want to spend god knows how much on a new dvd player to get hdmi or even HD when it comes out after spending £2300 on a screen.
the problem as i see it with my purchase of a pv500 is to get the best out of the screen the dvd player and sky will need to be upgraded my current dvd player is a tosh sd900 which doesnt have hdmi or HD compatabillity (obviously) so that will be a relic when the new HD players come out
and on the flip side i can get a plasma tv which isnt HD ready for a thousand less and all my equipment is in balance with the purchase of the pw7 the one thing thats ****** me off a bit is if i hadnt of hesistated last time i was looking at a plasma i could be enjoying it right now
