Which of these 3?

You obviously decided to go with the better image technology that is PLASMA. :D

In all honesty, I think he went for the size ;) It's the largest of the 3 ...

Few will admit, but generally people want the largest TV for the price. Once they have it, even few wer will admit there is an issue or something they don't like on their 'investment' ;)

Would the LCDs he was considering have provided better image quality?

Y/N?

Kthx. :D
 
Lol, the image quality is awesome on the Samsung plasma, thanks ;) Surprisingly, the power consumption is equal to that of a LCD. It only uses 200W, which is more or less what LCDs use.

Mede8er will be the most satisfying. You should also be able to get from Esquire, so even more incentive to go with Mede8er. MED500X is pure awesomeness though... But ya, if you don't need internal HDD, you don't need it.

They pretty much play all the popular formats. The one thing pushing me to the WD TV live is the more powerful chipset (Sigma 8655), compared to the Realtek 1055 for the MED200X.

I bought the Compro 950 and am more than happy with it. Cost me about 1300 with a 1TB HDD. You're more than welcome to test drive it at my house if you'd like to check it out or borrow it for an evening to try.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm gonna go with the WD TV live :) It's going for around R1000. I have a portable USB drive that I use to watch my series/movies, so I'm gonna hook it up to that.
 
good choice, I was about to say go for nr.3

bigger, cheaper, and better quality for General TV and movies.

I'm not biased, I have an LCD.

Add to that better at sports, motion, black levels, white levels, contrast, games, coffee making ...

.. I wonder why LCD is even around?

/sarcasm ;)
 
Hey guys

Just an update: I caved and got the Sammy 42" plasma :o I can only concur with the general consensus that it's an awesome TV :D Got it for R5500 at Audio Vision in the Waterfront.

Wise choice.

I got a 32" two weeks back and will say that if your not buying > 42" then buy only a 32". My onw bud has a 40" & 42" sammies and I could not belive the difference in screen size. And on noticing the difference between 1080p and 720p, well it all depends on how far away you sit from screen.

But enjoy it :)

(I mounted mine on the wall and it makes such a difference to freeing up space in the room)
