I fancy upgrading the Sony Bravia to a newer TV...

Anyone recommend a decent 42" one please...

not wanting a 3D one or LED... LCD or Plasma please.

 

panasonic, i got mine about 6months ago, its awsome

 

budget?

 

danneth was the man who reccomended my panasonic, not been disapointed with it

 

Danneth... is £1000 enough for a semi decent one?

The Sony cost me £1600 five years ago First 40inch LCD tho I believe, hence price.

 

Why go from 40" to 42"? Not much of a step up. Might aswel at least go to a 50" - 42" is a bit small

 

£1000 is enough for a excellent one ! i paid £1150 for mine and its excellent...

depends on the room 50" can just look wrong in some rooms imo

 

Thrush - 50 inch would be way to big for the size of the room.

42 would be just right I reckon..

Will check out link Danneth, thanks.

What are considered best 42..? LCD or Plasma. I watch music channels and occasionally play PS3 if that makes any difference.

 

plasma, hope you have sky or vm HD to

 

have Sky HD mate..

So the one you have linked me to is the latest one.. Will have a search about... have heard Panasonics VIERA's are good..

Thanks.

panasonic is still leading the way with tv's and some of there latest sets are finally been reviewed as good the old pioneer sets

 

Thats good to know thanks, hoping to buy one of these myself in the next 6 months.

 

Panasonic

costco were cheapest i think last time i looked not sure whos got them in the cheapest now, but the above is cheap !

 

you said no to led but we got a samsung led one and it so much better and ps3 is mint on it

 

so much better then what? as for gaming its worse on LED as the MS is alot higher then plasma ( usually double )

 

panasonic rule

 

lcd and plasma one's when i was looking the led was worlds apart from anything else as far as i could see and i no idea what ms means

 

You should have gone to a shop where they had them set up right then, and LED is LCD as for ms thats lag LCD is known for been no where near as good as plasma for gaming

the review over on AV summed it up right with this statement in the conclusion - "If you have made it this far and just finished the last paragraph you will quite rightly assume I can’t recommend this screen for those who want the very best in picture performance"

and thats with a £1600 samsung LED they rate them as very average on the whole...

 

58 inch is big enough for any council house,

 

i was very close to buying an lcd but after seeing a hi end lcd next to the panasonic g20 in curry's my choice was made,

the colours on plasma'a are so much better, plus the panasonic is 600hz so motion blur is non exsistant.

LCD tv's look unrealalistic to me, almost cartoon like. plasma for me every time

 

LED tv's are LCD screens, only difference is the screen is back lit with LEDS.

only advantage i can see is power consumption, no improvement in picture quality at all imo

 

well looked very different to me was clearly the better picture regardless and i spent a week shopping around i went every were and was off the same conclusion that lED was better

 

Samsung 46" , latest ones come with iPlayer, lovefilm,youtube and a media player/usb slot for playing downloaded movies.

 

nothing else but panasonic for me!

 

But yet the professional reviews ( with tested results ) say otherwise, how odd

 

Viera Cast has been doing this for a while

 

Same here

TV, DVD, Camcorder & Camera

Goood thing about the Panasonic TV's is that it has built in FREE Sat as well as Freeview

Only Panasonic and LG have built in Free Sat

 

I've got a Panasonic Viera - best TV I've ever had.

 

I got a Panny TX-P50G20B about a month ago. It's awesome, got it from Costco. Easily the best looking picture out of all of them, there were about 30 on show at the time.

I've finished running it in and it looks great.

 

the panasonic viera i bought has all this,

just plug the ethernet cable into it.

 

You had it calibrated?? meant to be even better after

 

how do you have them calibrated

great little video however i cant warrant £125

 

Panasonic. Anything else is a compromise

 

unless your budget stretchs then your allowed to move away from panasonic

 

Pioneer would be nice but the price tag renders it a pipe dream for me. Sure there are other manufacturers that can produce the goods but in my experience Pany sets are the best "sensible" price TV. Just my opnion though and appreciate others may feel differently

 

pioneer. you get what you pay for.
