[quote][i]Originally posted by Dom[/i] go for plasma over LCD as they can do blacks (and technology as seriously improved with burn-in, they really dont suffer from it that much these days) ;) but, there are plenty of mags out like what cinema etc, pop down to WH Smiths and have a butch around! If you looking at plasmas then http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com is a really good place to look around, know what there talking about. Keep an eye on richersounds, can pick up a 42" Panasonic PWD7 for around 800 quid and although there nothing like the newer screens, there still pretty bloody good, especially for the cash. As for HiDef, if your really serious about it then just make sure the screen has some form of digital input - ie: DVI, HDMI etc and that the resolution is 1024x768 or higher etc Stay away from Dixions/Currys and the likes, they will feed the signal from one source to about 10 sets, you cant tell whats a good image and what isnt. Go to somewhere like SevenOaks and have them set up the screen and similar gear to what you have - you'll also beable to have a little watch with some of your favourite DVDs! And if you are viewing a set, take something with lots of black like star wars, something fast action, top gun's dog fight scenes etc and something animation, like Ice Age (Anti-Aliasing is something to look at, they still havnt got it perfect, but its not bad).....as with the three films you'll beable to tell what it'll will look like with majority of films out. Also, dont expect an LCD or Plasma to look shit hot with a typical PAL signal - it doesnt look great, but then again the screen is doubling the pixels to get it to fit! plenty of stuff out and about, and make sure you review and research the screens to high heaven mate, its worth it in the end. Oh, and if your after a plasma look at Panasonics and Pioneers - both manufactures offer brilliant pictures and colours (panasonic beats pioneer a bit in the colour area), blacks (pioneer has this one) and generally you cant go wrong with these two! :thumbs: [Edited on 17-04-2006 by Dom] [/quote]
