Just moved into my brand new house with a huge lounge(ive been living in a poky 1 bedroom flat for last 12 months).Figure now is the time to invest in a shiny new tv to replace my 28in lg.

After looking in a few shops and trawling the internet Ive come to the conclusion that i havnt got the foggiest on what to buy.from reading these forums i figure the important info is.

screen size:55 or 60

my budget is around £1500 less if possible

quite a dark room away from sunlight

smart and 3d arn't as impotant as pcture quality all though i figure you cant have one without the other.

Then you have the Panasonic 55vt65 just over budget at £1750. I would buy the Panasonic.

Manufacture start to bring out new tv's in february, march april ect. i think 4K will be the buzzword of 2014 or if you prefer now would be a good time to get last years bargains, check out the samsung UE55F8000 at john lewis.

I would recommend the Sony 55w905a got it from John lewis for 1500 and it replaced my trusted pioneer krp500a, I was extremely hesitant to go from plasma to lcd , but I can't fault the thing blu-ray looks stunning , 3d is great , only negative is that sd content looked better on my kuro , but that might just be my settings, seen many reviews comment on viewing angle issues , my set seems ok, with zero loss in quality vertically and slight color loss on extreme horizontal shifts.

Defo worth an audition.

The VT65 might just edge it, but as a Panasonic plasma owner, I know you have to be aware of possible problems with permanent image retention amongst other things, so if you are a gamer, I would personally pick one of the other tvs, as some dealers don't regard image retention as a fault, and Panasonic definitely don;t.

Sorry for the long sentence.
