Currys,comet,pc world what a nightmare
Popped in to curry's pc world and comet to check out the latest offerings on tv's ,fook me too many to choose from, prices all over the place left with nothing in the end,
my head was about to explode.Is it my old eyes? the 720p plasma 50 inch at £600 seemed to have a better picture than the latest 2.2k 50 inch samsung 1080p.The 60 inch lg 720p looked impressive I had to go home and measure my penis after seeing this lg beast
lcd offerings seemed to have a brighter picture than plasma but the plasma's were richer.I didn't bother asking the assistance not that I have anything against women I'm sure they would have known everything about fashion but not tv's
What tv do you experts think
50 inch plasma true 1080p is what i am after
I already have more tv's that I have rooms for lol
the most modern of these is a 42 inch plasma panosonic but this was 3k 3 odd years ago and isn't even a 720

Currys and PC World can do some good deals, but you try sorting out a problem after you've parted with your cash. There a fucking nightmare and totally useless

Had the same fuck on twice this year, so i sat at the computer and decided which 50" i wanted,,, then just hit all the retailers for best price they would do..
Currys where the best for dealing down a price , the only people they wouldnt beat was "Dixons Online"
Got a cracking deal and paid 1600 quid for 2ks worth of gear.
Research then hit em hard lol

Dixons and Currys are , but the store managers can still cut there own cloth, if you know what i mean.
We dont have any Dixons up here any how.
Not sure about pc world being in the group though

Tony, as you know m,e personally you will know what pain I went through when it was time to upgrade my Tv. I learnt about all technologies including the panel stocks used and screen drivers. Many shop demo's, websites and magazines later I finally came to this conclusion:
http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/874304/index.html
You however would need this: http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/870433/index.html
Here aare some reviews on it pal.
http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_G...trackInfo=true
Price - Performance ratio they are almost impossible to beat.

Tony a friend of mine (who is abit of a geek, when it comes to TV's & shit, he actually works for Sony HQ) was telling me Samsung & LG are cod wank when it comes to TV's. He rates the panasonic ones high, Sony do some shit hot tellys, he said he'd only for a sony or panasonic himself, he told me to stay clear from the lights of Samsung & LG
we are in need of a new TV at the mo, just dont know which or should we hope there is gonna be january sales in places like currys etc

There you go.
50"
1080
100hz
Panasonic
And as its Richer Sounds. Probably a damn site cheaper than Comet, Currys or Pc World.
Pioneer Alternative
http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/conten...PLX5090-UT.htm (Gadget Show's recommended, can't see if its 100hz or 200hz though)

Tony... 60' MINIMUM mate!
even though I have always bought Pioneer and panasonic plasmas in the past.... I did some reading up and bought an LG... ignore the old shite they used to knock out and any brand snob you have in you... The new 60's are awesome... the picture in my eyes on SkyHD and Bluray is as good as my 43' Pioneer I have in my bedroom. Its not as good on SD tv as the Panasonic was and the Pioneer is though... BUT overall I have been BLOWN away by the LG... and I NEVER thought I would say that! and the price is just silly! I doubt it will last like a Pioneer or a Panasonic but then it only gets used a few hours a week at most to be honest (and IF it breaks... thats just an good excuse to get a 70' one! hahahha)
Dunlop2002 has a PROPER TV
