Same panels, so unless you think that Samsung's image processing is better than the Bravia engine that's rubbish.

Although they did this year do a deal with another company to also produce LCD panels, so in the future this will not necessarily be the case.

On a budget (as I will be when I buy one) I'd go for a Samsung.

francobaresi · 1st May 2008, 16:43

Apologies Weaste, I was shitfaced when I posted this last night.

I'm basically after a 42" LCD, for around £700-800. I've looked at so many my head is fucking spinning.

Well, Sony don't do 42" for Europe, so it is going to be 40 or 46.

I like the KDL40W4000, but it's probably out of your price rage. Try looking at the KDL40V3000, Amazon have it going for 775 quid ATM.

what i meant. there's only a fraction of difference between both of them and im not willing to spend a fortune because of that slight difference.

Cheers Weaste. I'd noticed since posting that Sony don't do a 42'' LCD.

I'll have a look at the KDL40V3000

i got a 42" samsung does all i need a tv to do

yaka8 · 5th May 2008, 14:33

Ive got a 71'' LG LCD Rear Projection in my room, its fantastic...Picture is Super and its an absolute monster of a TV...

The reason i got that rather than LCD / Plasma was at the time it was amazing value, and The LCD/Plasma's had not dropped in price...

Fantastic for watching Sport and playing Xbox on it!

francobaresi · 5th May 2008, 14:48

71" is just unnecessary. That's ridiculous

WeasteDevil · 6th May 2008, 09:58

The size is important depending on resolution and viewing distance. If you have a 1080p TV 40" for example and sit say 15 foot away, it will look not much better, if at all, than a 720p TV of a similar size. There are charts that can show you optimum viewing distances.

francobaresi · 14th May 2008, 21:48

Weaste, what do you make of the spec on this?

http://uk.lge.com/products/model/det...v_42ly95.jhtml

Think this is the one I'm gonna go for

They're not bad the LG's from what I've seen, although the contrast ratio of 5000:1 is not all that great tbh.

francobaresi · 14th May 2008, 21:57

What does that mean though? It's all jargon to me mate. What should I be looking for?

The higher the ratio the better the blacks will be.

Yes I know, that's racist
