The above is the same bull being used by LCD supporters on every thread.
They know the pix are crap,we know the pix are crap,the salespeople know the pix are crap,but while mugs shell out for sexy cabinets that look better off than on,they'll keep selling them.
Unfortunately,with HD broadcasting already here and the majority of the public not caring less about quality or even recognising it,LCD/plasma sets ARE the way forward.
I'm in the market for a new set within a year and I will buy an LCD/plasma,but I'm hoping that HD broadcasting and HDDVD players are more readily available than they are now.
LCD dos look awesome if you are 20 feet away,up close its dross.
The usual get out clause is that its not setup properly and of course Curry's/Comet etc don't come out well in that deaprtment.
However,as I posted on another thread,I've seen sets in Sevenoaks Sound and Visions,Richer Sounds and even the high end retailers in Central London and not one has had me gasping at any improvement with DVD or Sky.
As Jarrak(a pro LCD poster) points out on another thread,SD pictures will not look very good on LCD,especially pix from Sky with its low bitrate mess ,and DVD is the best that SD will give you,yet even upscaled the difference is not worth the expense.
I'd love to have a nice thin screen on the wall,but until HD is available or I can adjust my viewing to 20 feet,I'll stick with CRT and its incredible bulk
