Hi guys,
I have a nice sound set-up for home cinema (well I am happpy with it at least
), but the TV is a bit long in the tooth.
(A Panny CRT 32" WS, one of the first 32" sets out when I got it) is still going strong, but the picture just isn't up to modern standards.
So I was possibly looking to change this.
I know very little about Plasma and LCD TV's, or the lifespan advantages/disadvantages etc.
So with a budget of up to max 1K what would be a good choice ?
Hoping to get around 36" or better, with 2 minimum preferably at least 3 scart inputs, possibly asking too much ?
This will be paired up with my existing sound set-up of:
Pioneer DV-464 DVD player
Pioneer DVR-3100 DVD recorder
Pioneer VSX-D912 Reciever
KEF Q80 Fronts
KEF Q15 Rears
B&W CC6 Centre
M&J Reference 100 Sub
(Yes you might notice I like pioneer
)
Secondly, I have decided to get rid of sky and have freeview, is the picture quality any better (I notice compression artifacts in several sky broadcasts)
And which is the best freeview box for picture quality under £100 ?
It needs to have the card slot for the extra channels, also needs 2 scarts, one to go to TV one to DVD recorder.
Sorry to be so newbish, but I haven't been keeping up with visual progress
