And I thought I was the only one!I have been looking around the stores for the past 18 months or so with the thought of replacing my 13 year old Sony Super Trintron. Whatever I have seen I have been very underwhelmed be it CRT, LCD or plasma. Colours are inaccurate (balanced for colour temperatures not standard for British broadcasters? - Japanese market screens used in the UK are always too blue for this reason), pictures stretched to fit the widescreen format verging on the laughable, resolution variable and as for movement smear - just hope that nothing moves too fast in LCD or plasma land.
This was until I saw one of the brand new (out last month I think) Panasonic 32 inch LCD boxes. Terrific colour, resolution, contrast. However I went past the same store a couple of days later and all of the usual problems were present on an off-air programme. Turns out that when I first saw the box they must have been playing a special HD TV disc/tape. Something for UK shoppers to watch out for as HDTV programme material is being used frequently without explanation in store dems during the run up to HDTV launch in this country. So that the lovely picture that the saleman showed you isn't actually available at home!
Fingers crossed that my old Sony lasts a few more years.
