Looking for a new TV

[Chris Green]

Hello all!

I'm looking to buy a new TV.

I know very little about the following:

Plasma
LCD
LED
1080P
100hz

Someone at work has mentioned that I should be looking for an LCD or LED 1080P tv, 100hz.

I currently watch movies, and play PS3. what is more desirable, 1080P, or 100hz?

I am looking for a 37" or 40", price, around £500 ish? maybe more.

If anybody would like to assist me with making a decision, please feel free!

Thanks,

Chris.

What you really want is 1080P, which is the highest resolution TVs can offer with HD. LED is a bit pricy at the moment, LCD seems the way to go. I've got 2 LCD TVs, and 3 monitors, from Sony and Samsung, and there haven't been any problems yet!

Try one of:
These,
these, or,
one of these, which is a little different. I know it's 'only' a 32-inch, but you get a better TV for the money, barring the size. Also, 32-inch is hardly small. Unless you're sitting miles away from it 32" is all you need in my opinion. It has the 100Hz refresh rate, and is 1080p, has a better contrast ratio etc than the other TVs I linked to. Has built in FreeSat HD and 3 HDMI ports.

Best piece of advice: buy a 'brand name'. Someone like:
-Sony
-Samsung
-LG

If you go with what the pros reckon then you`ll not go wrong

We have that LG without freesat, can't fault it, and next door have a Panasonic with freesat, stick a dish up and free HD, can't fault that idea

We have just recently bought a Samsung LED TV, expensive yes (the bracket to hang it on the unit was £200 lol) but sooooooo worth it! The picture quality difference is worth every penny. Not often I say that about things like TVs....If you can cope with the extra cost I wouldn't recommend anything but LED now after seeing the difference. Especially for movies and PS3 you notice things you didn't see before.

Why buy something which isn't as good to want to buy the better one at a later date? Costs more in the long run.

Guff!

http://www.plasma-lcd-facts.co.uk/myths/energy-use/

have a nose around that site, plenty of info on there

as a note that site was paid for buy Panasonic & Pioneer who make both LCD & Plasma screens but wanted people to enjoy the Plasma viewing experience without being put off by old wives tales like " plasma screens need to be regassed" etc

the wider viewing angle along with a more durable screen makes it almost an easy choice for most households
