Hi All,
First time on this forum so please be nice, I like my technology but I also like to get value for money and be as future proof as possible. I.e. I am happy to spend a little more if it's going to be a better quality/last longer, however if the difference in quality isn't worth the extra cash I am quite happy to settle for the cheaper option ( I do not have a complex about having to have the best brand/most expensive)
I have been researching the market for a 46 - 50Inch Plasma or LCD for my new house, I was firstly confused by the LCD/Plasma issue but after reading this and other sites I have been led to believe Plasma is the way to go for this size screen? however I have been impressed by the Sony KDL46X3500 whilst viewing ( £2120) and the price/value for money of the Samsung LE46M86BDX ((£1073) .On the Plasma side of the fence we have the Panasonic TH50PZ700 (£1350) against the Pioneer PDP508XD (£2034) .
I will mainly use the screen for normal Freeview/Sky and I am looking to get SKY HD in the near future. OK My dilemma is... is full 1080 Necessary to be future proof? + in the short term on lower res images can you live with the picture quality? Can you really notice the difference with 24P is it worth paying the extra? Does 100Hz make the difference?
I love the Pioneer to watch but I feel that I am buying old technology at a premium price, The new 1080 Pioneer I have fallen in love with but I can't bring myself to spend 3.5k on a TV even though it is the best picture I have ever seen and I want one.( I guess it is the Lambourghini of tellys).
Panasonic seems to be a good all rounder doesn't have 24p but seems to be excellent value for money for a bg plasma.
Sony, great picture on HD but what is it like without? has all the bells and whistles but is expensive. Is it worth the money?
Samsung, Great value for money and the most future proof TV I can find on the market but does the product suffer from too much technology too soon and not enough time on making the basics. I have been told the sound is appauling.
I know this is a really long post but as you can probably tell I am not sleeping much at the moment, with this dilemma running through my head.
Any help appreciated.
