My subject for today is LCD and Plasma.
TV's that is.
I'm trying to decide whether to buy one or not. It's difficult to decide between the LCD or Plasma, though the quality in the latter is inherently better. The former, however, seems to have a better lifetime.
I've got a Sony widescreen at the moment, which had full surround sound, great picture, all round good performance. Had it for about 5 years, cost 1500 smackers, but feel due for a change.
LCD and Plasma have the benefit of being much thinner, so can be wall mounted, saving a significant amount of floor space. On the other hand, the DVD, Video, satellite box, and wiring have to go somewhere, under the music system perhaps?
Also, my living room is L-shaped, with on wall taken up by a bay window, and two which have doors to the kitchen and bedrooms. So, the wall that I would choose is the one that the large couch is resting against, so would involve rearranging furniture to use. I need to go all visio and see if I can fit everything in.
The other option is to use a stand and sit it on the floor, but then what's the point since it'll effectively take up the same space as the current one.
Why is upgrading to new technology so hard?
