I took the plunge yesterday and splashed out on a HDTV. I was going to try and hold out until the summer when HD broadcasts should be available in the UK, but I just couldn’t resist it.
Choosing a HDTV wasn’t easy but after spending a few hours doing my research I finally plumped for a Hitachi 42 inch plasma. I wanted to make sure that my ‘HD Ready’ TV was actually HD Ready, but I was astounded to find that retailers still aren’t playing fair and are promoting TVs as HD when they aren’t, which will only cause customers problems further down the line.
If you are planning on buying a HDTV in the near future here are some good links that helped me work out what I needed:
