I now live in Thailand and would like to buy an LCD tv. Having looked at what is available over here I have narrowed it down to these two units.
Trouble is I dont know which is the best one to go for as I have not had one before.(used to have a plasma, but the bright sunlight over here kills the picture with the reflections.)
Does anyone know of any failings for either unit....any common moans, or problems with them that I should consider before buying?
Reliability issues?
In Thailand the warranty is very poor so this is a major factor.
The price for either is about the same here (Sony is about 50-60 pounds more).
Having seen both screens the picture was great, but the shops run them on high grade computor gen. pics. so it is misleading.
I will mainly be playing dvd's and connected to sat. tv (plus pos. x-box and blu-ray when I can find any here.) Thailand does not have hdtv, nor is likely to in the next 5-6 years.
Any help or observations would be very welcome, even if you think I should consider another make of LCD.
