My System: 3.0m Motorised Channel Master 4 fixed dish SKY_HD DM7020s Vsat Kathrein UFS-910 HD | In my opinion at the moment the best 50 inch on the market is Pioneers PDP-5000EX 1080P HD Pure Vision Black Plasma Display.. http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/content/...PDP5000EX.html | ||

My System: thats what i'm here for |
a plasma will last you 70,000 hours before it starts losing its brightness. so if you watch 7 hours of tv a day, it will last you 10,000 days or just over 27 years. the best plasmas on the market are panasonics, but you will pay for them, i have a 50" samsung which would be middle range, the cost of that plasma is now down to £1100 bargin. the best advice i could give you is join av fourms, you can find everything you need to know about every make and model of plasma on the market. enjoy | |||

My System: no satelite setup as yet looking for best advice on what to buy | Thanks iceman but dont want to pay that much, what you think of the pioneer pdp-507xd which can be bought on line for 1954 inc delivery.So you think plasma is the best choice over lcd.Thanks | ||

PDP-507XD is also a very good TV..It is the 50 inch version of the latest seventh generation Pioneer plasmas (which i think have the best picture)..I have the 42 inch version PDP-427XA . I did a lot of research before i bought my PDP-427XA,i even considered PDP-5000EX because of its 1080P capability but in the end decided on PDP-427XA which has 1080i...None of the european satellite TV broadcaters have plans for using 1080p so unless you will be buying a Blueray DVD player its not much use.But still PDP-5000EX is a far superior screen ...expensive tho.. http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products.../overview.html | |||

My System: Sky HD, TM6800HD, Manhattan Plaza ST550 and TM1500 CI+. 1.0m dish and 36v motor, Panasonic DVD HDD recorder and Panasonic video/DVD recorder. Sony G800 HD TV stand/surround system + Sony KDL40W2000. Infinity USB, Elvis, CAS1, CAS2. | I prefer LCD as I think it's more reilient than plasma technology. If I had to choose it would probably be a Philips with ambilight and Pixel Plus 3.

Blog Entries: 1 My System: DM7020S ~ DM500s ~ sg2100 ~ Gemini  If he were not a wizard, from head down to the root, you would have got to worry-your DB only boots | You may like to check out the many posts on a similar subject on avforums. Will you be using it for gaming as well or just tv/ dvd? Do you have HD satelllite? SD on an HD display can look pretty crap. John Lewis pricematch and have a 5 year warranty. Pioneer and Fujitsu (not Fujitsu-Siemens) are well regarded; Samsung for LCD. Have you also budgeted for AV stuff e.g. amp & speakers, as many are panel only: no speakers.
