2nd TV Toshiba giving variable colours intermittently, assume on the way out
£5 for a TV I can take.
Lovely picture
Saw a big flat screen, perhaps 50" next door recently
Did not like the look of the picture at all
Have flat screens caught up on pic quality yet ?

"Dad! Dad! I've been looking for one of these for years! It's all I need to complete my vintage Sony ES system. Can I have it dad? Let me have it dad!"

"Sorry, son. First thing in the mornin' it's goin' on the 'bay. Might get a few knicka for it. Enough for me and Mrs Higgins to 'ave a few nights down at the dogs."

Contrary to some opinions here, a good plasma screen will leave a CRT for dead. It's all about the calibration and using something like THX mode rather than the silly 'vivid' or 'shop' modes that most screens come set to.

Agree 100%. My Pioneer plasma has a superb picture quality. Pity Pioneer don't make them any more.

'Vivid' describes that picture well !

I'm happy with the main TV we have a 36" Panasonic CRT for now
Delighted to see plasma prices tumbling and sizes increasing in preparation for me getting one

++ yes I do agree...my Kuros is superb,especially with newer hi res stuff in hd and blueray....but I still find the Loewe crt better when watching the old movies and tv progs...specially the B+W movies:cool:

My Panasonic 42" HD plasma screen (set to THX) is excellent. All standard definition broadcasts are upsampled by my Sky box to 1080i so I don't see a reduction in quality, just a reduction in resolution. To be honest, I watch very little standard definition material now.
