I just bought a 58" plasma for my GF's birthday. My wallet and I just shed a tear :shock:

Hmmm, what made you choose a plasma over a LCD? Just curious? A Guy

Nice! That's the way to watch TV.

Is that what she wanted or were you just guessing?

I researched the heck out of this and decided on plasma because:

A) Bang for buck (the cost of a 58" 3D capable LCD/LED is enough to make me weep openly )
B) Faster motion response for sports/games over LCD
C) Better colour reproduction/black levels
D) Permanent burn in, Image retention has been significantly improved over older plasmas.
E) This set in particular supposedly handles SD content a bit better than any other plasma/LCD/LED on our market. The majority of our free to air channels are on the low end of 'HD'

All three currently available types here: plasma, LCD, Edge lit LED have their strengths and weaknesses and plasma seemed to be the one that ticked most of the right boxes for my needs.

Fingers crossed my research pans out...

Nice! That's the way to watch TV.

Considering I'm still watching TV on a 4:3 CRT - I figured it was time to join the now

My GF has poor eyesight, so anything bigger than what we currently have would have made her happy.

Considerably bigger makes me happy. It's a win/win situation

Yeah, big is great, it's a whole other experience. You get used to the 4:3 content being "fat" rather quickly. I have a 55" LCOS projection set, and it's great. Enjoy your present for "her", lol. A Guy

heh heh - I'll enjoy - heck, I might even let her use it :roflamo:

I've been holding out for years on a big screen. Finally having a 'justification' helped

Sounds delicious. Enjoy that.

Cheers mate. I think this may be my last big ticket purchase for quite a while though....

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Congrats mate, we'll just let her think it's for her eh.

I have just been out to see my Job-search Advisor and we are thinking of signing me up for a CLAIT course or something similar. Perhaps starting sometime next month.

Best of luck . Dont forget to take care of the dog .

LW7,

Most people taking CLAIT courses would have trouble finding sevenforums without help. I think you need to get your adviser to look for something more advanced to suit your abilities.

I'm happy to go along with that

Being the generous chap that I am, I'll even let her hold it twice - with the batteries in place. (saves losing them that way )

Why stop at twice?
