Anyone who says Philips LCD tv's are shit Westy doesn't own one!
Can't comment on that model but as you know i am very happy with mine

 

hello mate..

yeah it was you that has the phillips one if I recall... but isnt yours one of the top of the range ones??

quick question, do you have to sit directly infront, or can you still see good if at a slight angle?

 

Yes its the dearer one mate
I can see it at any angle without a problem even from 30ft away

 

cheers mate

what makes the better one better? if that makes sense?

 

I own one

Don't know without seeing the spec's side by side mate

 

i got excactly same one on sat, so far so good m8

 

oh and it plays ps2 games fine m8, also shop around on the net cos u,ll get it cheaper than Ł1500

 

Is that a standard size double bed there Rob?
If so where does the wife sleep

 

on top ov me m8

 

Even worse mate unless she wants shredding by that fan

 

the ones that have the shite viewing at angles is the rear projection screens

 

nice one Robs

Is the picture quality good? It doesnt say how many scart outputs

So you rate it then mate ??

Oh, and Ive seen it for 1400... can you get any cheaper at all?

thanks

 

cheers Ginge.. yeah a mate has one of those rear projection things.. not that good IMO

no Ł1400 wot i paid, 2 scart leads and a port for ur pc, pic qaulity good
on dvd,s and ok on tv but think it down to my crappy ntl box

 

that a good price paul, cheapest ive seen, paid Ł1400 for mine but got 10 months interest free

 

thanks Paul J... wicked price

Rob.. standard speakers good??

with regards to pic quality.. ive heard that the signal or pic can be abit dodgy from ntl and sky.. dont suppose there is anyway around it??

 

think ive changed my mind

42" hd ready SONY Plasma...



42" Plasma Television
High resolution image processors
Digital tuner for Freeview
HDMI Input
Dolby Virtual (Prologic II) and BBE Digital
PAL 3D Comb filter
Electronic Programme Guide
Parental Lock


anyone got the above ^^^^^

screen life of a plasma, and do games consoles work ok on them...
why cant i just choose

 

Westy
I bought a 42" Sony plasma and took it back 2 hours later as the picture was shit. I then spent longer looking for a TV that i was happy with and bought the Philips LCD which by the way has 4 scart sockets

Its down to personal taste so get yourself down to Comet or somewhere that has a good selection and find one you are happy with and then hunt around for the best price on that TV!

 

hmmmmm. Looks good. Would be ideal for the other room to stick the 360 on. Where would be the cheapest place for that one? looks cool

 

my mate bought a 42" philips plasma with pixel plus and the pic is absolutely shocking even had an engineer out to look at it and he said theres nothing wrong with it those models are just shit, I would say there must be a fault as it seems to get better and worse. And I was in curry's yesterday and the salesman told me to stay away from philips with pixel plus as the technology is shite and they get lots of complaints....

Maybe the LCD's are fine, I know ive been very impressed with the lg plasma'a and if you go onto www.kelkoo.co.uk you can pick up a 42'' hdmi for the bargain price of Ł1049 absolute deal if you ask me Ł450 cheaper than curry's and they are usually quite cheap.

Hope this helps

Happy shopping

Craig

 

What places on the net are there?
Any thoughts on Dell?

 

Dell = Phillips

The 1280*768 are the "old" lcd's,

the 1366x768 the new ones.

 

Oh yeah, LG and Benq also use phillips LCD's inside

 

cheers for info

spadge.. yeah, I guess i'll have to actually go in a shop and have a look, and judge for myself..

to be honest tho, you cant go wrong with Sony stuff.. so am swaying towards that..

 

Agree 100% with Spadge, you must view them. I would of said you cant go wrong with Sony but it really is worth viewing as you will be surprised.

 

Paul J

you seem to know abit about them.. in your opinion is that sony one any good? only thing is it doesnt say the Res.. the higher the res, is that better?

 

Every piece of Audio/Visual equipment in my house is Sony except for the LCD tv which as i said was crap in comparison to my Philips!

 

spadge

the Sony one Im on about i a plasma screen, so maybe better than the sony LCD which you initially bought...

I thought Sony Wega was the bees knees..

Phillips is for the lower end of the market ;_ just messing, ive seen the price of your one

 

You selling your RS to fund the deposit on your 'Happy Shopper' plasma then Westy

 

happy shopper... Phillips is alittle gypo for me, hence the Sony first choice

Nope, the RS is staying.. all taxed and tested... Im off back down to college in it, to impress the ;ladies

Unless someone say's here ya go Westy, here's 2500 quid (proper bargain) then they can have it..



Got the cash for the plasma.. just no bed or flooring yet

 

fook i feel like Ginge.. my replies are getting longer and pointless just messing

 

If you go for Plasma they vary so much from model to model even screens by same manufacturer.

Saying that generally Pioneer have the best Plasma screens but are more than you would like to pay.

Id have picked Sony over Philips everyday of the week on name alone but when you see them side by side no-one can argue, philips have surpased sony with these lcds.

 

Same here mate and i did!
But soon realised my mistake and bought the best one on its own merits rather than 'badge snobbery'

 

Westy
Why don't you buy a YNOS but only watch it via a mirror if the name is all your bothered about

 

hmmm, is this also the case with Plasma?

i really dont want a phillips one, as A. Spadge has one and B. I am a badge snob

 

YNOS..

 

No but cheap plasmas look awful imo

I also think a tv cant be too big but if your buying a cheap big plasma and not in a massive room they are unwatchable.

 

1500 isnt cheap for a plasma tho is it.. seen them for 900 etc...

will check out powerhouse later, and report back..
