thinking about buying a HUGE tv !

[veccy22]

any body got any recommendations as to which LCD tv is worth a look at ?? thinking of 40" or more !

[Caterman]

42" LG plasma. £699 superb quality and price

I bought the older version 3 years ago and paid over £1400.

hmmm ? i've been told to steer clear of plasma !

I've got a 50" LCD Sony, but I've helped a few people buy lately and I'm always impressed with the Samsung tvs.

[veccy22]

so it seems that the well established makes are the ones to go for then !?

plasma vs lcd has been on disputed for ages.

lcd, better quality but you NEED a good refresh rate to keep up with the picture.
plasma, better refresh rate (smoother picture) but the quality is slightly lower than lcd.
plasma runs on gas rather than crystals which means it gets a lot hotter. and also needs to be refilled every 2 years???

most manufacturers have samsumg chips in them...

Not true mate - plasma tends to have a better picture than LCD but LCD's are catching up fast, and yes, plasma's will eventually loose their gas but they last a lot longer than 2 years! My sister's is fours years old and running fine!

Samsung and Lg are the major manufacturers of panels, the LCD's with Samsung panels tend to win the awards and are well respected.

Have a trip over to www.avforums.com and you'll find loads of info and buying guides.
