Thanks guys. Know leads a key!!

Finally.....

LED < Better blacks, sharper colour?
LCD < ?
Plasma < Always thought the plasma was the early versionof the obove?

Details on above - is there any real difference?


Ooooh yes, my main aim is probably high end films (blue-ray/ps3)

Remember that 60% of a cinematic experience is sound! dont just use standard TV speakers! invest in the correct audio!

LED better blacks, brighter image. uses less power

plasma even better blacks, better for fast moving fottage.

Its not great at Bluray play back plus the older versions cant output sound in true HD.


If your buying a Awesome TV you dont want to let it down with what you are feeding it, if you get my drift!

Plasma's degrade over time and can burn the the screen with things like sky's dog's(channel identifiers in the corners)

LED is the best of the bunch atm with better blacks, not perfect but not bad - still worse than plasma. And LED's use less power than an ordinary backlit LCD and allot less than a plasma.

OLED's are better than LED tv's, but last I heard sony posponed the release of these for the forseeable future.

Plasma havent had any burn problems for years!! And even the old sets usually have a"go into dark mode" if left on for ages as in overnight.

See what I mean everyone has a view be it right or wrong. LOOK AT THEM WITH YOUR OWN EYES and make a decision, take out the Plasma/OLED/LED/ xyz from your logic. It will be out of date anyway within 6 months!!!

ive got about 6 15m long monster cables going from all my "sources" to my tv. They go thru walls and ceilings to make it all seamless. I nearly cried when i found out how much they cost!!!!

Another thing, dont skimp  on a decent aerial/leads


my two pence worth!!

another long argument, a 1m HDMI cable you wont notice the difference IMO due to it being a digital signal at the end of the day but 1M + long cables i have noticed massive differences between cheap + more expensive cables.

I changed my HDMI cables to QED and noticed an immediate difference.

Or did I just think i did?

IMHO Plasma is the best for Movies and motion.

Panasonic V10 50" for me.

THX certified.

If you can pick a a Pioneer if money no object good luck.

But I wouldn't have anything else.

I use PS3 for Blu Ray with no issues and its stunning.

And an Arcam Solo Movie for DVD/Sound.

Always spend 10% on cables why spend £2k on tv (I didn't) and put an ebuyer cable on it that cost £2!

Over and out.
