Looks like our lounge re work is shaping up..... part of the job will be refresh the TV... Currently Panasonic 50" ST level I think... was a Comet Special.
Still a nice picture, HD is good... SD like only Plasma can do !!!... But I don't want to build a false wall and cut a hole in to mount a six year old TV in.

Now we have had CES, is the current LG's ie the 55EF950V going to get replaced soon... or we looking at year away?
I'm not so much wanting to chase the next big feature but hope the "issues" and quality control might be more consistent !!!

No gaming just TV and BluRay movies...... Budget of around 2K I'm okay with, would need convincing to go more....

Audio I can sort..... do need to find some in wall rear speakers that will lay flat on the rear wall, perhaps motorised out when in use.
 
On this size screen is any higher resolution any point? .... PQ and Quality control is worth waiting for or paying for maybe..... Time scale and costs?
 
Just watched a Youtube video from CES with the guy at LG.... So it's the new Signature series that should start to come out end of quarter 1 that will have "better pixels" and improved picture quality? .........
Oh.. It's never going to cost as much as my HiFi so will see what the cost is :D
 
I think the E6 at 55" will do me ;) ...... I use 4.1 at present, unlikely to use the sound bar, unless it sounded ok/matched to the L+R (unlikely) and could act as a centre...
Also we use a separate Technomate triple tuner box, so I actually only need Monitor..LOL.
 
I got the impression from the interview that the E6-G6 were the same/best PQ the others were a little less... They were also 3D..... which I've never had before or tried, though my Marantz UD7006 can play it.

If I can see a benefit or a point to it I can up the budget, not really an issue... will have to wait to see how these new screens pan out.
Had the current screen 6 years, I would expect to use a new one probably longer.
