what tv for a grand
ok, so what tv would you buy for a grand ?
looking at around the 50" mark, most likely led backlit
I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,
but this jacket makes it impossible.

Samsung, you will need to work on the salesman hard
Forget plasma, electric costs will soon overtake the difference in price.

I've got a LG smart 3D tv....... OMG it's amazing. It'll turn 2D tv into 3D tv. You can down load films straight to the tv or onto a
memory stick. I got a 42", would love a 50". Best tv I've ever had. I've also got the LG sound bar. If you use the tv for
gaming you can get two pairs of glasses and they give each gamer a full screen. Plus the gaming glasses will make a 3D film look like 2D ( for the
people that don't like 3D ).......... If you have any glasses from the cinema you can use them on the LG Smart TV. Best TV I've ever had.
Go and have a look at currys at them. I got mine online, it was cheaper. Good luck.

Picked up an LG 55LA660v yesterday from currys for 899
the plan was to stick it in the back room but the picture and sound is far better than my Samsung UE55F8000 so the LG is in the front room and the
twice the price samsung is now the back room tv.
straight out the box without fiddling the tv is fantastic and the 3d is blinding.

Few points....
1: don't bother with 3D, the industry isn't bothering anymore.
2: Do you really need a 50" tv? Are you sitting about 18-22ft away from it?
3: Go and view a few that have a player plugged directly into them, not off any type of DA and see which you like the look of most.

Just bought the new lg 47 790w LED for £899 at richer sounds.
Amazing quality and 3d is good. 6 pairs of glasses plus you can use the ones from the cinema.
Old Samsung LCD is no match.

I'm out of touch with the specific models available today but have been very happy with the LG 50" Plasma we bought a couple of years ago.
We also bought it from RicherSounds who were excellent and offer a very cheap 5 year warranty for just 10% of purchase price. I don't normally
bother with extended warranties but this was too good to ignore.
At the time I looked at a lot of LED LCD and Plasma TVs, both in 3D and 2D and came to the conclusion that 3D was a waste of time, something that has
been confirmed by the non-existent take up of this feature in the domestic market. 3D *can* be made to work well in the cinema (eg. the excellent
Gravity movie) but for home use it is really just a gimmick and likely to remain so.
The other conclusion I came to was that Plasma was far superior to LCD if you want excellent black levels (eg. sci-fi films in space) or if you want
smooth motion video for sports or gaming. LCD's with 120Hz refresh are getting better in this latter regard but still don't rival the
smooth motion and minimal lag of good plasma displays. Also, some LCDs try to improve black levels by turning off sections of the backlight but this
is just a crude workaround at best. One area where a good LCD can beat a good Plasma is with regards to power consumption but unless you watch an
unhealthy amount of TV then that's not a massive issue. The only other area is with maximum brightness but unless you watch TV outside or have a
very badly setup home cinema then again thats not likely to be an issue.
Sadly, Plasma will most likely disappear in the next few years as TV makers can make more money now from LCDs but while Plasmas are still available, I
for one will continue to use them. You've still got to do your homework though and find a good one.
Cheers,
Craig.

A little bit thin on facts there I'd say.
Here's a nice simple article explaining in balanced terms the pros and cons of each technology. Neither are perfect for everyone so best to make
up your own mind.

A grand for a TV? I'd want it to cook me steak and chips and give me a happy ending for that sort of cash.

LG smart 3D cinema as already said, amazing.
I tried out Panasonic, Samsung and Sony before buying the LG.
IMHO the LG is much, much better in 3D than the others. It so good I'd rather watch 3D at home than at the flicks.
Family is under standing orders to only buy 3D films.

pioneer plasma! truly awesome natural picture. you also dont need to be 22' away to watch a 50"tv. i install them regularly in home cinema
setups and 12' is ideal

Not sure exactly how good this 47" LG 3D Smart TV is but LG have done a deal with John Lewis to make it exclusively for them so everyone else is
heavily discounting it to get rid of their stocks. Asda, Currys etc. all had massive discounts on it.
