Cheapest 50" LCD 1080p TV

[realnumber 1]

I'd go 1080P if I was you. Some say SD pictures can be better on 720P though.

What about this. Same panel as the LG pk590 but with a few less options. Then again I think I'd still just get the 590 my self for just another £100...

thats not a 1080p set either, the pk350 is the same panel as the pk590 but without, netcast, DLNA, freeviewHD and THX certification.

My bad, I give the wrong link. The pk350 can be had for the same price though.

yup, you posted a link for the pj350 and yeh i forgot about the extra hdmi ports, when i bought my 590 for the bedroom it was actually priced lower than the 350 for some reason in currys.

Go through quidco and get 3% cashback at Dixons. They might also still have a money off code like when I got my 590 from there.

 

[Ian_182]

Is that a good price though,???

 

[realnumber 1]

Including the fact you get free delivery then I'd say yes and that's not including the cashback... Costs more at richer sounds and that is normally one of the best....
You not tempted by the extras of the 590 then?

 

[Ian_182]

Whats extra about the 590.Tbh the one i linked has got everything really.Also im not a gamer at all...

As above the THX certification, more hdmi ports, freeview HD are the man things. Not sure the 350 is as good on the network also. Both very good and if you will only ever run sky then the advantages become smaller... I have an image with some good calibration settings to run on mime so will post later seen as the 350 is the same panel then it should be a good starting point for you.

 

[realnumber 1]

I can't take the credit for them but here are the settings I'm using and should be good for the 350 also I would've thought!

nah custards settings wont work on the 350, if you go on avforums there are settings posted for it too though. Althogh panels and viewing conditions are so different from one to the other your better doing your own.

Ha lol, you know the settings!
True about the the viewing conditions/panel but you could say the same about the built in THX settings on ours but as a general starting point thats half decent... They look good on mine and there isn't to much difference from one dark room to another when watching a film etc. I should be borrowing a calibration DVD from my brother in the next few weeks so will see if I can improve on it.

yeah i have to agree, his settings look god on my set too, not a lot of difference from the thx mode tbh but i think it looks a tad better. did you know you can unlock the thx mode so you can edit the settings for it? I might buy an Eye One colorimeter and give it a bash calibrating it myself.

 

[realnumber 1]

Yeah I knew about the THX code but not messed with it yet. Really impressed with it now I have a couple of hundred hours on it. It's worth every penny and some...

Thanks for this>When it comes on monday i will follow this to the letter...I know nothing about settings...cheers,

Is the PK590 one of the best sets out there then in that sort of price range (and non-3d)? Looks a decent set to me, but then again I'm no expert!

I spent weeks looking and couldn't find anything that came close for around £600.

Ok cool mate! Think I will invest in one...hopefully be even cheaper by the time I come to buy!
