14th May 2005, now on 30600. Was also my first brand new car.

Was this because the ST just didn't compare....?

maybe, maybe not, but a plasma is the better option in bright conditions....

33/31 here

TBH most of the 'newer' screens have very low standby power consumption - my Pioneer 43" plasma consumes 0.7w on standby..... Don't think many LCD's would get much better....

Most of the HD ready screens have to process the image to fit the res of the screen - typical LCD's 1366x768 have to process 'upscale' an SD 576i image to fit the 768 line image of the display. the 'full' HD 1920x1080 screens have far more processing to do with an SD image - sometimes...

^^^^ agreed. Would also look at the Sony x/w series

this might make me splash out on a new 360 - I'm still plodding along on the old Xbox (which I bought primarily to play Halo on....)

I haven't, a mate has. But it provides all the info you requested..... You can buy elsewhere.....

lol, I even strugggel to got mi spulling write sumtymes! Seriously tho, I was making a facetious comment about the wording of your post - you clearly state 'Plasma was better for SD stuff, HD and Xbox 360....' lol and it read pretty funny. Lets just say that you've got a decent telly, I've...

Deal with what? Your biased opinion? lol. AFAIK the only half decent LCD's at 40" available a year ago were by Samsung, Sony and Loewe - with the Loewe being silly prices and the other two around the 2K mark (unless you got your arse kicked....). As I said in my earlier post, you've fallen into...

It's really each to their own, I researched LCD/plasma for over a year before being in a position to buy one and found that LCD's just didn't cut it, although I don't play Xbox on mine for 8 hours a day:rasp: (only 3 hours;) ) btw, which plasmas were miles cheaper? I could walk out today and...

I agree, saw a racing blue 197 the other day - thought it looked very nice - a step up from the standard Clio - and in the best colour;)

No offence mate, but you've fallen into the old 'I've got one so it must be better' trap. I've got a plasma and think it's superb, but I know there are also LCD screens out there which are now its equal in terms of PQ. To say LCD's are 'miles' better at HD is also pushing it a bit. It would be...
