  Am happy with my 46" Plasma bought in January, but mainly use it on the PC, only hiccup is a bit of pixelation on high speed video and interestliy enough only on the Bravo channels, but Jimbob did mention this on larger TV's so I accept that.

Sounds like that's nothing to do with the TV. It's a compression artifact due to the fact that the lower budget channels get allocated a lower bit-rate so have to use heavier compression and therefore accept inferior picture quality.

Kevin

Totally agree.  Not seen a problem on any other channel, and consles and PC gaming is superb.

As Jimbob said at the time, 37 or 42" I probably would notice it, but I dont want a small Tv any more.  ::)

rule of thumb is that for conventional use (as a TV !!!)Plasma is superior - if you use it as pc monitor and other rubbish then lcd is better.

In Wakefield, however, you are better off with jungle drums and a 1955 Baird.

I used to be a campagnologist (no longer an offence) and rang/rung the bells at Wakefield Cathedral in the 1960s - it was a nice place then - I think STMO moved in shortly after that....

I'll have you know that the status of Wakefield was greatly elevated when the STMO clan settled in the late nineties. To give you but one example: The numbers of police officers has increased by 50%. ;D

People Folk who live in Yorkshire never go near those places. Just as people who live in London couldn't point you in the direction of St Pauls Cathedral. ;D

Not only can I point you to St Pauls but can also show the Boris Bike stations where you can rent a bike for free for 30 minutes to travel between locations. Is there a similar scheme in Wakefield?

If you pass through London happy to buy you a drink.

Similar? Hmmmmm.......up here we tend to steal the bicycle and dump it in a hedge when we reach our destination. I suppose someone else could make use of it afterwards...so, yes. ::)
