I think the Missus has ordera 40" Sony for me for Chrimbo

i like the sony tv's - was looking at a bravia before but they never had any in stock at the places we went to and the sony shop in town was a joke for prices

i have a 48in Toshiba. tis great!

hehe missus wouldnt get any bigger - had trouble getting her to get anything more than 37 in due to the size of the tv and her room :| lol

wot model is ur tv mate?

ooooo tiz niiiice

My Uncle got the 52" LG

There Huge, but you need a big room to take it in
There pretty good, the stand in your picture is the one
that he has too, its easy to set up.

My Uncles is the plasma, is yours plasma too?
His comes with a new "Screen" So its not glass anymore.
Hence we were between us easily able to lift it on to the stand.
He got a DVD Surround with it too Sounds awesome.

Hope you enjoy yours too Davey.
At the end of the day there all the same inside.

mm nice tv

mines LCD as plasma tv need to be "recharged" every 5-6 years and i would expect a TV in this day and age to last out the time



so not true

while few companies actually make the LCD screen, there's so many variations and all have pros and cons like everything... im sure i will enjoy it

Plasma doesnt need to be "recharged" every 5-6 years, whoever told ye that shit needs shooting. Its a myth that was around about 10 years ago when they first came about, and has never had any truth in it.

They have a lifetime of around 20,000 hours, just the same as LCD's, in fact Plasma's are actually more likely to last longer then LCD's.

Personally, I am shocked that people are still happy to pay £1000+ for LCD's or Plasma's in this day and age... next year we will see the launch of SED's and on the smaller screens, we should see OLED's, both of which, well SED's in particular, will render LCD's and Plasma's obsolete. SED's just pi$$ over both LCD and Plasma!

Plasma's are now resigned to the bargain basement by manufacturers, and LCD's are made in such high quantities, they are dirt cheap!

Personally, if I wanted a massive screen, id get the biggest HD Ready LCD I can buy for under £500 (bear in mind 37" LCD's can be picked up for £350 nowadays) and wait until SED's hit the market to pay a high price.

And actually Samsung make summit like 80% of LCD panels fyi. It's them being the main OEM supplier for LCD's that is one of the major reasons they are the 5th biggest company in the world.

well i do apologies know it all lol...

the recharge thing, everyone has said it when i looked into buying a tv before...



like i said "few companies" - i never said any particular company


and as for paying £1000+... im paying £1000 WITH stand lol... so more of a £1000-

These people didnt mention words like gas and the like when they told ye it needs to be recharged did they?

yea... and after researching some more i have found it's a load of bollox... never had any reason to doubt it in the past tho... hence not googling "plasma recharge myth" until now

I myself have been corrected, im somewhat out of touch with Plasma technology nowadays as its considered an obsolete technology, but the modern panels have a lifetime of 60,000 hours rather then 20,000 hours lol.

No wonder OLED's arnt deemed viable at large scales yet!

Lmao, I thought so, I dunno where people get this idea from, I suppose its cos Plasma's use Xenon gas inside the screen. The amount of times I see this being posted on different forums is hilarious, but I remember my dad drilling it into me about it being untrue a few years back.

When I think about it logically, I know people who have had plasma's for longer then 6 years nowadays!
