Free Working Panasonic 37" CTR To A good Home
Discussion
I finally purchased a LCD TV today so this has to go
Its a model TX36PB50 in full working order. The stand & remote are included. I don't have spare room to keep it so anyone that wants it please reply to this topic if you can pick it up before 2pm tomorrow from Farnborough, Hants. If no interest after that I'll take it to the local tip. I will be able to help load it into your car, its heavy thing at 80kg. First person to reply saying they want it can have it.

I must say the picture looks worse on the new TV with SD signals. I guess this is because I've gone up to 42" LCD. If I plug in the HDMI lead to the computer & watch downloads on 720p or above they look great.
Virgin are delivering an HD box Friday. It was free as well, I thought they'd want more money.

I have at the workshop the 36" Quintrix that will end up in the tip. Sadly as people now see CRT as old hat and rather watch a crap picture on a flat tv than a good one on these.
I only changed as the new PS4 only has HDMI out and the poor old Panny doesnt have the input.
Positives are the room it came out from feels bigger and the HD pictures are pretty damn good....

This isnt the Vinyl debate again is it, CRTS are dead because they were a very refined bodge that lasted until proper flat screens arrived, the early LCDs werent great but now, you cant really compare, they are properly flat, have decent refresh rate and have a massively higher resolution, they consume a lot less power and space and are generally more reliable, they come in much bigger sizes and can hang on the wall, the LCD is part of how we saw the future back in the seventies and eighties.
People arent stupid as a rule, the benefits of a £179 32 inch LCD versus the biggest CRT are huge, there is a reason there is a container filled with two grand Panasonic CRTs at the tip, my father in law has a B and O 32 inch CRT that swivels on its stand and has a built in video, it cost a fortune, cant give it away now, suspect in a year or two the CRT will become a rare sight even at the tip.

I meant you cant give a what was a £1000 tv away to someone because of its bulk yet the same people will happily watch a poorer picture on a low quality flat screen. Pretty much what you said in your reply!
I bought an full HD LCD for the bedroom 2 years ago and was blown away by the picture. Plus it had freesat and freeview built in so pretty much future proof for a while. So I had no problems buying the same make in 42" last month.
Judging from some of the reports on AV sites, some expensive LCDs dont deliver what they promise either, but thats another issue!

I think it is quite safe to buy TV's now in terms of the future, 4k is here but I would need an eye upgrade rather than a TV one, still think full HD is as good as I will ever want, I was pretty happy with DVD quality having grown up with VHS, in fact I still get nostaligic for the familiar crapness of VHS.
I am just goign to look for a 50 inch or so TV when the sales are on, I am just not that discerning, go on AVForums and you can read 23 pages of holy war on whether a Panasonic or Sony has blacker blacks and stuff, still impresse with the old first gen HD Samsung 26 I have in my man shed. Basically with TV's and reporudction equipment it shoudl be good enough that you dont notice it.
I read AV forums occasionally for snippets of info though I also do not get into the black vs black / best set up etc debates on there.
With the PS4,Sky HD and streaming HD movies its a bit of an eye opener how far its moved in a few years.
Again, as you said 4k is here though so expensive and I have bad eyesight in one eye so 3D was never an option!
