I hear Ridley Scott's making Blade Runner 2 at last, been waiting years for that to happen.

 

[dancinplumba]

woohoo its on now )

hope this is true

 

[Phil]

hope this is true

Yes, I Googled to check before I posted.

 

[Howsie]

why did you choose plasma col ?

Generally a better picture and viewing angle but LCD catching up and OLED not far away.

Plus it's like having another rad in the room

 

[dancinplumba]

have a plasma, want to upgrade

 

[MrMeek]

its just a remake isnt it?

 

[Howsie]

Still can't beat a plasma. What's your budget and viewing requirements?

 

[dancinplumba]

ooh would give her one anytime, the blonde one, she can squeeze my head with her thighs anytime )

 

[dancinplumba]

2k, the ultimate viewing experience lol, thote led and oled was better than plasma, clearer

 

[Howsie]

Like everything it depends on budget.

Contrast - plasma every time. Better black.

Viewing angle - plasma

Motion blur/speed - plasma

Colour/brightness - up in the air that one

Power usage - LCD hands down. Plasma is juice hungry

Lifespan - LCD

Will you notice the difference between a 2k plasma and LCD. IMHO yes, but many wont.

My plasma is (Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX5090) over six years old now and I still haven't seen a better LCD.

 

[dancinplumba]

ooooh a see thru mac and..........oooohhh

 

[dancinplumba]

ford you lucky barsteward

 

[Dotty]

I kept meaning to watch this. Now I know why I never bothered before. It's based on Phillip K Dick's book 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

Dreadful book.

Sean Young's a nice distraction. But not enough.

I'm out.

 

[dancinplumba]

you missed out ' IMHO' lol

 

[Phil]

I too have upgraded to a LCD 42" 1080HD blah blah...and yes the picture quality is great but I wouldn't say its a HUGE leap forward from non HD. Bought my first Blu-ray disk today and played it through my PS3, again not that much different from DVD's really. Its not as big a difference as it was from VHS to DVD lets say.

Also is it true the BBC HD channel only broadcasts in 720?

 

[Howsie]

BBC have bandwidth issues so they down scale sometimes.

 

[AlexGas]

Professor Brian Cox is so clever he doesn't need 3D glasses to watch a 3D film. :bigear:

 

[dancinplumba]

look she is thighing him to death !!

 

[TBServices]

As someone who dabbles in home cinema installs on the side, and having seen MANY new tvs, I can honestly say you can't beat the new Panasonic smart viera TX WT range. They're just stunning. Forget samsung and LG. The panas only competition is the sony bravias and they're expensive and not as good to look at. Sony also have a lot of stupid copyright niggles that annoy me.

Try to get a good deal on a pana in the sales. Or you could go for their new 3D projector at £3.5k, which is literally like having a HD cinema in your house. Unbelievable.

Plasma is no longer the be all and end all. In fact, the cons outweigh the very minor pros.

 

[TBServices]

All HD TV transmissions are in 720p, the only format that carries full 1080p is blu-ray. And BBC HD is generally the best HD picture of all the channels.

25" BANG & OLUFSEN BEOVISION 1 RETRO TELEVISION 8633 FULLY WORKING NO FRONT TRIM | eBay

These were good TV's back in the day, don't know if there still around now though?

 

[Howsie]

Sorry but I don't think you can beat a high end plasma if you want (and are willing to pay for) the best...

 

[kay-jay]

always disliked this film! original was n't great but the 'directors cut' without the voiceover was unbearably boring.

great cinematography though but just not enough happening

B&O still make some of the best stuff, but you pay for it.

 

[kay-jay]

B&Q still make some of the best stuff, but you pay for it.

really?

 

[TBServices]

really?

Yeah. Did a job for a bloke, fitted 3 42" pana TX's in his mansion, last thing to arrive on site was a glorious B&O tv that cost 8K. But honestly, how can one 42" tv be worth £6,000 more than another? It's just stupid money for those with too much of the stuff.

 

[Guest123]

why did you choose plasma col ?

picture quality on this one would blow you away otherwise Id have went for a lcd. Getting the matching blu ray player and sound system today.

 

[SimonG]

Bladerunner (original edit) was good back in the day, don't like the directors cut and don't think I would sit through the original again. Great in it's day but not for me now.

 

[zzzjim]

I enjoyed re living the old times , when men were allowed fancy gadgets

( moves a bit slowly -- but usefull if partly impaired by Xmas tipples )

 

[julesverne]

Its an alright film

Much prefer alien

Alien has fared better over time, just feel that Bladrunner has lost something since I first saw it.

 

[Howsie]

Aliens - best film ever closely followed by Alien.

One of the few occasions you can say it was better with the second film. Well I thought so.

But on the faring better with time I remember watching 'Hawk the Slayer' and 'Krull' as a kid. Great years ago, but what a pair of naff films now.

 

[Howsie]

Lol I agree. Dune is on the list.

 

[dancinplumba]

watched dune the other week, agree

 

[kay-jay]

Awful costumes in dune.

 

[SimonG]

Hawk the Slayer on Horror +1 at the mo.
