Hi,
As I've mentioned, I wish to finally take my first step into the grown up world of flat panel TV's. Up until now I was more than content with my flick and colouring in books but I was told my new PS3 and Wii may not be compatible. I want to purchase a 42inch plasma or LCD if there is one of similar size that can compare (something I am lead to believe is not the case). Most importantly, I just want the best 1080p screen for £2000 or less (will go slightly higher if I have to) that is going to give me the best picture quality/performance. I will be playing games (PS3 and Wii) watching blu-ray and normal DVD's and eventually sky HD (normal sky digital for now). The ones that seem to stand out from reading the magazine are the 2 Panasonics.. The 42PZ70 and the 42PZ700. Now I understand that the 700 has superior sound and more connectivity but the 70 has been given a higher rating. Is this down to value for money?... am I barking up the wrong tree all together… is there a better plasma or LCD out there for the money I have. I understand there a differences in image quality and refresh rates(???) something I was told can make fast moving on screen objects lose shape or have a trail. I don’t much fancy watching the boys in the premiership booting an egg around the pitch or my faster moving games/action flicks looking funny. Like I said though.. Bottom line… which screen of the 2 has the better picture quality. I would consider sacrificing connectivity and sound for a better image performance as I will no doubt being purchasing extra kit to channel the sound though.
If you think however there is a better choice for my money, I'd appreciate knowing about it and the reasons for it... someone had been trying to push the bravias on to me (w3000 i think).... another person said I don't really need 1080p.... are they right?
Someone.. please help… I have little to zero TV knowledge and want to get off to a good start. I am ever so confused and it’s starting to hurt. Will be my first TV purchase for my first home.
Thanks
