Purchasing a New Flat Screen Television and the LG 50pc1d
Getting a new television for the home is a major purchase nowadays. When you are spending the equivalent of what you used to spend taking the entire family on holiday several years ago it would be wise to ensure any decision made is a wise one.
Given the way technology changes it is essential to try and make sure that your purchase is relatively future-proof.
The latest telecommunication system for broadcasting moving pictures and sound is known as Digital television (DTT) and as the name implies this relies upon the transmission and reception of digital signals as opposed to the more conventional analogue formats. With DTT, viewers are limited to whatever channels the antenna picks up. Signal quality will also vary.
The purpose of this article is to take a look at what is on offer with the new generation of Flat Screen Televisions available and in this case the television in particular is the LG 50PC1D.
The 50PC1D is a 50in Plasma TV and currently these TV's can be found for 1500 pounds sterling or 3000 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The LG has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the 50PC1D uses is HDMI and 2. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the LG is available from a wide variety of outlets.
So given this information, what would be our view of the LG 50PC1D?
First up, we would look at the picture quality and our score here would be 6 out of 10, and closely tied in to the picture quality is the sound quality and our score for this would be 8 out of 10. Another useful aspect to review is the availability and number of relevant connections and our score here would be 8 out of 10. If we take a look at the overall "featureability" our score would be 8 out of 10 and for ease of use and overall value for money we would give it, 6 out of 10 and 6 out of 10 respectively.
Finally our overall opinion would be that the overall performance of this Plasma we felt was rather good if not let down slightly by a noisy picture but on the other hand compared against similar machines this is on the cheap side so that has to be a plus also.
With the wide range and variety of makes and models available for you to choose from it is unlikely that you will not find something to suite your taste or satisfy any budgetary constraints that you might have. The choice, as they say, is completely down to you to decide whether to stay at the forefront of what are rapidly changing technologies and fashion or to remain part of the safer but perhaps better developed mainstream. No matter what rout you take we hope that after reading this article you should be more informed as to the correct choice with which to take.
With regards to the prices in this article we have tried in all cases to take an average across the industry from a number of well known web sites and so we ask you to bear this in mind and treat these prices as advisory only rather than absolutes.
