    I recently bought a 42 inch Mirai LCD and I must say that I’m very pleased with it.

    The only nuisance is that it doesn’t scale TV signals very well so ordinary tv looks a bit gritty compared to a plasma.

    I can live with it seeing as it cost alot less than a similar plasma and it can manage 1080i (1920×1080 i think it is) so I’m more or less using it as a monitor aswell alot of the time (can you say bf2142 on a 42inch screen? 😀 looks the shit too!).

    One other thing it’s weak at IMO is black. Seeing as it’s a backlit surface it doesn’t handle black aswell as plasma screens do. I don’t see it as a problem but for the “connossieur” it might be a bit offputting.

    Thanks for all the input guys.

    After lots and lots of research I finally chose a Panasonic 32″ LCD with 100Hz refresh. Cost 600 quid – saved a couple of hundred over RRP. Should take delivery of it early next week.

    Why would I want something for the kitchen? That’s where I keep the wife 🙂
