Default HDTV

Following on from Thrush's post....

https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...339&highlight=

Im on the look for a new HD TV but with all the choices im not to sure on what to get.

My budget is between £900 - £2000

Above one looks ok but not sure about dodgy viewing angles from rear projection and having to replace the bulbs etc.

Also want one with at least a free 3 year warranty.

Theres been posts about this before but theres a lot more choice out there now.

So peeps what tellys have you got and are they any good ?

Pros and cons of LCD, Plasma and rear projection ?

mine is 37" lcd HD flatscreen, and i love mine, its taken my xbox 360 to another level. to be honest with a normal digital signal, from freeview or sky, the picture is about as good as a normal widescreen telly, but on HD its amazing, thats why there bringing out so many HD channels, so my advice to anyone thinking about buying a hd tv, do it.
