Note the so called "LED" TV are simply LCD screens that use LEDs for backlighting instead of cold cathode tubes. The super high contrast
ratios are achieved by varying the brightness of the screen according to the picture displayed, but because this isn't a "per pixel"
effect, it's a bit of a fudge and you don't necessarily achieve the claimed contrast under real conditions.

Doesnt have to be that big.
My mate has a 58" Samsung Plasma on the wall, with a viewing distance of about 2.5m. Like being in a cinema !

I have a Panasonic Viera 42" plasma that's now about 6 years old, no burn problems or any picture fade, not had to adjust brightness or
contrast levels yet.
It's an old model now but is still fantastic and I don't see any of the new ones having anything extra that will get me to buy a new
one.
Yes, its got freeview and only one HDMI input, one pc input etc but picture quality through my Monster AV scart cables is superb. HD looks fantastic
through the HDMI at 1080p.
If I was buying now I would just have a Viera in the 50" size or 65" if I had the cash.

i would only buy Panasonic next time. got a 40" Samsung LED and its not good. Its a lower cost version but the quality is poor. I got a
panasonic 32" a year ago and its far better than the Samsung.
For a grand you will get a v.good 42" Panasonic. For £2K id guess you will get an awesome 50".
Isnt the std rule to buy LED under 40", 42" and above buy plasma?

Another recommendation for the Panasonic Viera, have a 720p 42" Plasma and absolutely love it, only £550!
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Having had a few OLED monitors in at work i'd just wait 6 months and get a decent OLED, much better than anything else at the minute.
If you buy now you'll be gutted when oled monitors hit the streets soon.

Exciting stuff indeed, but if you can buy a 50" OLED TV at all in 6 months time, I'll eat my hat. If you can buy one in 6 months time for
less than the price of a decent new car, I'll eat my own head. LCD and Plasma have some fair life in them yet.
