[Discuss] [OT] TV Follow up

[Adam Parkin]

A little while back someone was asking about HDTVs.  Just wanted to post 
a quick message with a little more info about Panasonic TV's.

I'm currently staying at my in-laws and my father in-law recently bought 
a Panasonic LCD tv (Viera 26LX600), and I gotta say that the picture 
quality for a SDTV signal is quite good.  I'd even say it looks better 
than my substantially more expensive Samsung for SDTV even though my 
Samsung has a higher contrast ratio (4000:1 compared to 3000:1).  I 
haven't watched anything HD on it yet, but it's probably the best LCD TV 
I've seen for watching SDTV on (to be fair though at home I have cable, 
whereas this Panasonic is hooked up to satellite TV).

Somebody also posted a note saying that plasma's are better for "bright" 
lit rooms.  I'm watching this Panasonic TV in the sun room which has 
nearly floor-to-ceiling windows and it's a clear sunny day, and the 
picture still looks great.

that are poorly considered, and in the end, self-defeating.
