Hi,
We're moving house, and it's finally time for the trusty 28" JVC CRT to go. It's just too deep.
We have a budget of between £500 and £800, and think a 37" or 40" will go nicely. The thing is while we are not serious TV watchers, we've found 'flat-screen' images just didn't look as good as our CRT, even for casual viewing, when we visit shops. They looked a bit over the top and unnatural, or have a noisy picture. We know nothing about TVs though - are we spoilt by CRT?
I think we want 1080p, so we can connect a laptop to it for photo shows at high resolution, and if the colour is good enough, even edit on it.
We watch in the light - we don't usually darken the room completely. (I believe either plasma or LCD is better for this.)
We have Virgin media, with a couple of HD channels, but mainly SD.
We occasionally play Wii.
We don't have Blu-ray, but want this TV to be good for it when we do get it.
We cartoons (mainly hand-drawn, not Pixar stuff), so want them to look right. (Is that possible, along with natural looking 'live' TV? I want skin to look like skin.)
Don't watch sport.
Don't need good sound, as it'll run through the hifi.
Can anyone suggest a TV?
I just don't know where to start!
