However at the shops they split signals between 10 tvs using really long cables and hence the quality is bad irrespective of plasma or lcd.
I am currently on travel, but I am sure in the meanwhile you can find one of the many recent pv80 buyers to help you with a visit 
As starscream said, full hd doesn't really matter at 42".
@etch - Also for lcds the contrast ratios are nothing but dynamic contrast ratio. You need to check the panels contrast ratio and I can guarantee you it will be no where close to the plasmas. LCDs have still not reached the black levels on plasmas. However if i ever get back to LCDs, i am sure it is going to be sony and not samsung. the panel is the same, but the bravia engine on the sony is much better in color reproduction!! |
After 2 yrs of rigrous research and chaising the war between lcd and plasma .. iam finally settling for pannny PV8H (1080p)upscaling for standard def!! 20000:1 actual contrast (1million:1 dynamic)
the retail price in del is 69000 MRP and I bargained it to 53k..and guess what dealer is considerate on giving it up for 50 k . so next week iam going for it, and so is my frnd so 2 tvs at a lakh.
i already have 1600wattRMS (16500W PMPO) sony 6.2 Mu.Te.Ki sys and XBOX 360 .
So its gonna complete my home theatre .
