Having read much on the forum on the pros and cons of LCD and plasma screens and been to see a few , i have reached the point of indecision.
My options started with a Panasonic TH-42PX80B viewed at comet but on going to a more specialised retailer i viewed the sony range and still preferred the panasonic upto the point of seeing the KDL40X3000 which is an excellant screen and didnt seem to have any of the LCD problems i have read about. Is this all down to the Bravia PRO engine or are there other factors at play?
The down side of the Sony X series is the cost, the New Panasonic TH42PZ85B seems on paper to represent a big jump in quality over the 80B without too big a jump in cost.
The final contender in this bout is the Pioneer PDP428XD ,having read good things on the forum except for a few complaints of buzzing sounds. I have seen this, but only with a loop of a pioneer promotion which i don't think is very representative of normal viewing, there is only so much you can get out of a black cat on a black background.
All comments and thoughts will be much appreciated and considered
Thanks Stevebinary
