Help with HDTV

[Nerhzelok]

Hey guys.

I want to buy an HDTV, but I'm not sure what to get. Willing to spend about 11k, and looking for one around 40"+. What do you suggest?

Sinotech is apparently comparable to the Sony Bravia and it retails for R9000 - R9400, but that's on special. It's a 42". Link .

I would look at the 40" Sony S-series or Samsung A550. Both Full-hd and excellent LCD sets. They go for about R12k though.

Alternatively I would look at the Panasonic 42PV80 Plasma. It is not full-hd but gives an excellent picture, especially if you are going to be watching a lot of DSTV. Nashua Electronics currently has it on special for R11k:

I would not suggest you buy anything but full hd. If your going to spend that kind of money future proof your purchase.

Yeah, I'm currently contemplating saving up for one. The thing is, I hardly watch on the telly in the lounge. Most of my viewing is done on my PC, so I'm not sure if I do get one, if I'm ever really gonna use it. However, having had the pleasure of viewing HD content, I am just blown away by the quality.

Oh btw, I was at Hypermarket nearby and they had the same Sinotech for R9000 on special. That's R400 cheaper than Makro.

Yeah me too...
But I like pretty things and I want a giant LCD lol
That would probably motivate me to watch more TV

This will help you decide whether you will be able to gain the benefits of Full HD
