i thought plasmas aren't as good as LCD? need regasing or something every few years?

 

[Bubbles]

I'd buy LCD everytime mate, don't need run in, etc.

Very very nice telly that though.

 

[Dash]

[Gaz]

Very nice, i wanted one of those but not as big

 

[Gareth]

Less of a myth but more "no longer applicable", when plasmas first came out they did have a relatively short life span. Now though, they generally should be fault free for 15-20 years.

MaLice,

You having a party anytime soon?

 

[Englebert]

Sweet, wish i could spank that sort of money on a tv.

 

[MattT]

I'm after a similar deal I think - looking to spend similar money too!
Looks like a good setup!

 

[miltage2]

im happy with my ickle 27" LCD! Nice telly that!

 

[*Mike182*]

sweet!

 

[MaLicE]

i like it my mum was like i think its to big should of gone for a 37" but i refused lol, but now she loves it, tbh i felt a bit motion sick to begin with as its so big... but used to it now...

just need some more 360 games lol, and to get my naim av amp fixed then the tag's either side with the centre channel all hooked up... will look spank once its all done

Unfortunately this is true. If you were to watch the TV all day, every day, for 12-15 years it would stop working. I'd not worry about it.

There is no way to 're-gas' a plasma. If it goes it goes, you buy a new one.. fortunatly as stated the half-life of a plasma tv is about 10+ years.

 

[White16valver]

Where's my invite to come and play xbox then, you b*****d? lol

 

[The Hoff]

Personally I prefer the vibrance and sharpness of LCD screens over the Plasma counterparts, but nice size all the same

 

[spirez]

I was just reading this on Wikipedia:

The display is brightest during its first 2000 hours. Thereafter, the display gradually dims. LCD backlights exhibit dimming as well, but they are replaceable. A plasma display cannot be recharged since the panel is a fixed pixel device with each pixel etched into the glass substrate. However, as the phosphors in a modern panel have a 60,000 hour half-life, most users will never see a plasma reach the end of its life.

60,000 hours is some serious time, and that's it's half life!

 

[Gareth]

that's the one I've got : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Samsung-42-PS...ryZ11073QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Love the 360 on it with surround sound.

 

[Jonesy]

i own a sony bravia 42 inch lcd and the 360 looks amazing, normal sky doesnt look that good tho, its ok from far back, i guess i gotta upgrade to sky hd.
