47 inch LED TV .....
Jasper - 24/11/10 at 11:43 AM

Well, I went in Richer Sounds yesterday after a bigger telly - spurred on by the last post about TV's on here - I've got a 32 inch 720p Viera which has been great but has been moved up to the bedroom. I went in expecting to come out with a new bigger plasma Viera, but instead came out with a 47 inch full LED 1080p LG TV, this one (all be it a fair bit cheaper though!):

And I am seriously impressed with it, the clarity and depth of colour is incredible, and it's SO thin. So anybody after a new telly, this thing is awesome.

Now I'm SO tempted to get an Xbox

Me too, got it off my brother in law who upgraded, took three of us to carry it down his stairs (3rd floor flat!).

It does the job.

I'm always underwelmed by big telle's, cos the adverts on TV cant show how good it is, and in the shops they seem to insist on splitting the signal between about 30 teles so the picture looks worse than mine at home.

glad Im not alone, mine has a good enough picture, not got a HD feed, only a digi box, and in my area they only get about 10% signal anyway, so I dont see the point in buying a new fangled one, and besides that, the new one wouldnt turn around on its stand like my one, that freaks people, and the sound is amazing.

one day it will die I expect, but will keep it until that day.

I did however have a little wobble while in a local TV sales place and tried out a 3D TV, hmm now that was impressive was about £1200 all in and I have to admit that for the next few days I did wonder just how much a liver or a kidney might fetch in todays hard economic times!

Well I love my Sony 42" Freeview HD tv. Got a new laptop tonight with windows7 and streamed to the TV via DLNA Quality. Loving the Freeview HD action.

Just purchased a 37" samsung led with freeview HD, all i can say is its awsome and i am having to fight my lad for viewing time. He's now moved his Xbox 360 downstairs so i'm thnking the Nintedo Wii will be up for sale very soon, watch this space.

To see these TV's in all their glory go to a specialist shop like Richer Sounds, then you can really see the difference between the different tellies.

I was tempted with 3D, but I don't play games and the movie/TV content is still limited, it's gonna be another couple of years before that takes off.

I watched Wonders of the Solar System again on BBC HD last night, I sat there with my mouth open most of the time, it was awesome.
