My mum and dad did just agree about buying a new TV from this generation! We have had an old, fat 20″ (or something) CRT TV until now.
The TV that will replace our current one is a LG 42LD420, that you can see in the name is 42″ large. With that size, full HD and LCD technology, it is a pretty big jump from our CRT TV. Now we will be able to use the HDMI-port on our DVD-player too. We will also be able to plug in a Playstation 3, that my brother is planning on buying. Even if it is possible to somehow connect a Playstation 3 to a CRT monitor by using a SCART-cable, the gaming experience wouldn’t be nearly as good as with a modern TV. I’m also looking forward to watch some Ergo Proxy on this beast, (beast compared to our current TV).
I have read a lot of good comments about this TV. The only two negative things, seem to be that you need a special remote control to unlock the ability to play videos from USB-devices, and that you need to calibrate the TV to get the right contrast, colors, brightness and stuff (which isn’t strange). I assume that there are a lot of better TVs out there, but this one seems to be one of the best for the price of 650 €.
