erol_h Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 yer i do want to but then again i dont trust these crafty arseholes they could end up going down even more. I did also hear on the radio how some places are starting the sales early due to lack of sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I'm waiting until after xmas - when I worked in a retail store I remember seeing prices either increase, or at least stay high until just after xmas - Boxing day etc was the start of price drops to get rid of excess stock. Depends how impatient you are - put it this way - prices are less likely to go UP in the January sales.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 There is always going to be something better / cheaper around the corner. The key is to find something that meets your needs for a price you like at a time when you want it, otherwise you'll end up like me... always waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Save your money now and buy a plasma, not an LCD, in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiten55 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 i had the same dilema's: plasma or lcd 26", 32" or 37"? 1080p, 1080i, or 720? Samsung or Toshiba? etc etc. so ive decided to get a 37", non 1080p, lcd. on boxing day. if i get a bargain - great, if i dont - so be it. but one way or another im going shopping on the 26th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Choosing an LCD over a Plasmas is a bit like wanting a Ferrari with a diesel engine. I've yet to see an LCD that matches the best CRT sets out there. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that my six year old Toshiba has a better picture than any LCD you could buy for sensible money.

hiten55 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 have you seen many 37" plasma's? plus, as its for my bedroom im not looking for anything substantial or anything extremely amazing. infact im only looking to spend £600 max. i've spent a few months trying to decide lol.

RedM Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 have you seen many 37" plasma's? Yeah, loads. Seen them bigger and smaller too. What are you getting at? Anyway, if you are happy with a Lowest Common Denominator then fair dos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Yeah, loads. Seen them bigger and smaller too. What are you getting at?

RedM Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 You didn't say you had a price range initially. The answers no but, in all honesty, we appear to have different needs from a TV. I am obsessed with image quality so, to me, two, three, four grand whatever for our next television will be the price I expect to pay for the best image (law of diminishing returns and all that) but as you want one for the bedroom then I suppose LCD would do. Just make sure that you'll be able to see the image from your bed. LCD sets have p155 poor viewing angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Well I didn't expect to see this thread turn into LCV vs Plasma (no, really I didn't) but I think Michael hit the nail on the head with his previous post.... For me - 40" LCD 1080p is what I'm having to replace my Sony 32" 100hz CRT - At least one thing is that I'll finally be able to reclaim the 5 or so sq-feet of my front room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
