Not for me, sadly- for my in-laws, who need a new telly since their current 28" CRT got knocked off its stand while they were re-decorating. It still works, but most of the screen is now purple. Here's a (phone-cam, sorry) pic of their living room:
For scale, as I said the current TV is a 28" and that's a standard 330ml can of coke on the mantlepiece. We are planning to wall mount the plasma just above the mantlepiece. So, is there any good reason not to go for that one? The spec looks good, it has built in tuner with teletext (which my father-in-law was most insistent about for checking the football results
), component in for the new Lidl DVD player I just bought them, and DVI with HDCP (even though the panel is not HD res, I still reckon it'll look pretty good being fed high-def).
I just want some comments really before I spend £840 of someone else's money. Is wall mounting plasma screens easy? Do you need to buy brackets? If they use the gas fire could that harm the screen? (It's used very infrequently, but still).
The other option is a 32" LCD, but I'm strongly leaning towards the plasma on the grounds that the LCD will look a bit lost on the big stretch of wall, and that LCD picture quality, despite the higher res, doesn't seem as nice as Plasma.
