Opinion On TV

You should critically compare this TV to the same size plasma TV.

I find that LCD screens don't have as wide a viewing angle (horizontal or vertical) as the plasma screens.

The LCD update time may also be more noticeable in the larger screens (>32 inches).

Brand recognition is virtually worthless these days. Popular well known brand names are regularly slapped onto cheap noname junk. Look at the sets in person, compare picture quality, also a plasma TV is one of the very few things I suggest looking into an extended warranty for as repair cost can be very high if they fail.

Setting up and maintaining a spares/support mechanism for products which will by nature be several years old before they may need them is a *very* expensive luxury. Just think about it - the number of parts the average TV uses, stored for perhaps 5 years before they are needed - if ever. And then become junk. Just appreciate the low comparative costs of such things these days and take the gamble.
