Default LG - last question..



Right, had enough of choosing now Ive spotted a nice LG plasma 42".. HD ready

it doesnt have a digital tuner but as I dont know what one is, shoulnt matter too much

this is spec
Display
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Brightness: 1500 cd/m2
Contrast Ratio: 1000:1
Input Signal: NTSC / PAL / SECAM / HD / VGA~SXGA
OSD Language: Eng/Fr/Ger/Sp/It/Du/Port/Rus/Chi/Swe/Dan/Nor/Pol
Resolution: 852 x 480
Filter: Film Filter
Size: 42"
Enhanced Line Doubler
New XD Engine
10 bit process
DCDi
Digital Comb Filter: 3D
DLTI/DCTI
Colour Temperature Control: Normal / Cool / Warm / User

Auto Booster (Analogue)
Aspect Ratio Correction: Spectacle / Full Screen / Original / 4:3 / 16:9 / 14:9 / Zoom

Will this be any good, as not really had any LG products apart from a small LCD TV in my room..

Any knowledgeable people offer any advice..

The TV tuner enables you to watch TV, some are built in, some are seperate, not sure if thats the same deal as a digital tuner or not

Ive had LG stuff and still have it, LG are a sister company of Phillips

Westy mate....one day you'll need to buy something on the spot without making a thread to ask about all the possibilities....live a little, buy something on impulse....
(But keep the receipt for when everyone tells you to take it back)

katie..

I often buy things on impulse.. I see it, i like it, I buy it..

but 1500 pounds is alot when you have just literally got a morgage.. need to make sure this is the one irst

nothing worse than getting something to only find out that there is a better version for same price..

Ignore contrast ratio figures etc, they are played with like max power figures for car amps!

Stop asking, GO VIEW!
