I'm in the market to buy a new 40" or 42" TV, plasma or LCD. Not bothered about cost, looks or how green it is. I just want the best, for sound and picture quality!
As a long-time subscriber to What Hifi, I've been following your tests (2008 Awards etc) over recent months, particularly in the current issue where the Philips 42PES001 just pips the Sony KDL-40W5500, mainly because of the screen backlighting problem.So....
1. Will Sony correct the backlighting problem on this model, like now, or when?
2. Is there not a KDL - 40Z5500 due out very shortly (when?) so is it worth waiting for your test on this model?
3. Whilst the Sony Bravia range seem generally to be flavour of the month at present, are there other 40'' to 42" sets likely to be announced by any of the main manufacturers within the foreseeable future, particularly Panasonic of whom I've always been a fan, that might perhaps might prove to be the best. Or do I have to accept that, sooner or later, whatever I do buy will be bettered anyway?
