I bought an LG 60 inch LCD for my 'man cave' in the basement a few months ago. I watch all our games on that. Highly recommended.

 

LCD has moved on a lot and the motion difference with plasma is not an issue these days. LCD is also brighter, which makes a difference especially if the TV is placed in a light room, or if there are windows.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Ha, in the loft I have an HD projector with an 8 foot screen.

 

Deal with that.

 

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

What sort of price range you looking at. I ask because that Samsung 55 is around a grand dearer than the LG 60.

65" TV, are you blind Code or at least suffering from cataracts?

 

Its 6 m from my sofa to the wall where I'm going to have my TV so I need around 60" I think.

 

My head has been twisted by soem clever seller now so I moght go for a Panasonic 65" Plasma even if it will cost almost double of my budget,

 

My missus will kill me.

[Code]

Code - what is your budget? What are you watching? I urge anyone not to purchase 3D, as carriers in the UK are few and far between now and it will be more or less unavailable within 12 months if current market forces (hate that phrase) are maintained.

 

I'm not sure how prices in Norway compares with the UK, but I did not really want to spend more than 10.000 NOK (£1070 today) for it, could stretch to 12.000 NOK, but now I dont know anymore, might end up with almost 20.000 for a 65" Plasma.

Yup, that's defo the one to buy then mate...

[Flying Pig]

I already knew Code was blind in one eye, Lurtzy told me. Apparently it's Codes Japs eye.

Haha, she want us (me) to spend around £500, she is clueless when it comes to things like this.

[Code]

Plasma's just don't last long enough in my experience. I had to replace one and a pal replaced one too recently, both after 3 years. LED is the way to go big time.

 

I bought my old LCD TV back in 2005, paid around £1700 for it then and if I had not given it away when I moved out of my old house I probably could have used it a few more years.

 

So Plasmas are easily broke you say, I might change back to my original LED plan then.

[Phoenix]

This is what you need. Unsure how much they are going for in Norway.

If not, then the Samsung plasma on your list. Plasma is still ahead of LED for the moment anyway.

Well if your willing to drop to a 50 inch tv you can get them for the price she is looking at.

That would still be too much money for me, me ex spent just short of 2k on a plasma about 8 years ago, I wanted to kill him more for that than the affairs.

 

That TV is now sat in my living room. I think he's still paying off the credit card bill for it. I suppose that makes me feel a little better now.

It certainly is a beauty. I never stop admiring it no matter how many times i've seen it.

[George Costanza]

I wouldn't buy anything other than LED.

 

You'll pay more for fashionable brands such as Panasonic (worth it though) Sony & Samsung (great for innovation & in the smart tv market) LG though are a very decent cheaper option.

 

I only buy Panasonic though. Have done for ages. Cannot fault their reliability and the picture quality has always been outstanding. Current LED TV's are awesome. Even better colour sharpness than my previous plasma plus extra savings on energy efficiency

[Carvalho Diablo]

What would Billy Mitchell buy ?

 

[liverpoolsno9]

Just get the biggest one possible. You'll be able to watch the DVD OF that final thingy that that club based in Liverpool & kicks a spherical object around played against another team from Wales who were shite & it ended in a draw that you always go on about. Be able to live that glorious day over & over again on a big fuck off TV.

[Code]

I'm considering the Panasonic TXP65VT50Y now, can get it for around £1750, but I'm looking for a TV I will have for 5-6 years at least, hopefully longer, so maybe LED is a better choice, I've never had plasma before, just LCD.

 

Can get a LG 65LM620T for around £1450.

 

Its all very confusing.

[Fowlers God]

Our last TV cost 200pounds. A 32 inch tv. It lasted 6 years.

 

The TV we have now cost 40quid from ebay! Its wall mounted and 32 inch.

 

Yeah don't get me wrong I want a 60 inch shdggdtjeloahddfr 23 model but if I ever had that kind of money. I think I would still rather spend it making the kids and wife happy.

He'd wait until someone else bought one and then send them a tape of a better one he bought last week.

I'm sure the kids would be well pleased with a big TV.

 

I've sold my house with a good profit and made a good deal with my new one so I could buy a TV up to £2000, the question I'm asking myself is will it be worth it? If I sacrifice a couple of weekends out during the year or a trip to Liverpool, I will have made up the increase in my initial budget anyway and the TV is something I will use every day for years so if I'm going to spend big on something the TV might just be the thing.

I am not sure if Norwegian prices compare to Swedish ones (generally a bit more than UK anyway), but 20000 SEK would get you a hell of a telly here. I can't imagine having to spend more than 10,000 sek to get a 60" of decent quality.
