But does it really...
They said 42/43" 1024x768 sucks...
Viewing distance.
Any reason why i shouldn't buy this tv - http://www.hificorp.co.za/product/10...-led-32lv3500/
within my budget and supports div x hd via the usb port.
Warranty... Thought LG upped theirs to 2 year after Samsung did.
Hi. I've read through the last many pages looking for current bargains on plasma displays and would like some advice before laying out the cash. I watch b/ray, dvd and mkv rips. I have an Xbox and a HTPC. I don't have DSTV. My viewing distance is between 1.5 to 2m in low light conditions. The Samsung 550 seems to be the one to beat but I'm curious to know if there is something available in a smaller size without 3D and maybe a bit cheaper. I'm also concerned that a 50' will be a bit oversized for gaming at such a close viewing distance. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Budget?
Any brand restrictions?
Budgeting between 8-10K. Preferably less. No brand preference but am wary of the Hisense, Mecer, Telefunken etc so not a budget brand recommendation please.
Nope there's nothing else. Only HD Ready/720p plasmas. For close viewing distance you'll want Full HD/1080p. 51" FHD plasma will be fantastic, would go with the Samsung PS51E550.
Thanks for the reply. Are you aware of any specials? And is the E550 as good as the previous D550?

Better. Superior to last year's D7000 plasma according to owners of both.
Uhm, Makro has/had it for R8,999 with some glasses and 3D Blu-rays.

Went to Cats, Game and Hifi corp' today. Best price is R11,999. What I did notice was that the cheaper HD ready series 4 Samsungs were actually remarkably good. Starting to wonder if FHD is worth the extra few K.
Overpriced.
Depends on your viewing distance. Since most people sit far away FHD does tend to be over rated. Contrast ratio > resolution. And plasmas have higher contrast ratios generally, especially at the lower end.
If I go for this: http://www.catsdigital.co.za/60e550-.html
What am I missing compared to the DOUBLE-THE-PRICE 64e8000 ?
Generally it'll be a better engine in the higher end sets, better motion handling, narrower bezel, SMART functions, etc.
I haven't seen the E8000 plazzie but I'd say it's not worth the R20k premium. E550 is already brilliant and smokes similarly priced mid range LED-LCDs.
