Panasonic HD Plasmas
 

I've been looking at these with a view to upgrading. It surprised me
that those I looked at only seem to have two Scart sockets. My 7 year
old 36" Panasonic CRT set had three. Seems a step back to me. Are there
any screens with three inputs?

Your hardly going to stand still with regard you AV kit. If your going
to upgrade your telly then it's probably about time to upgrade your DVD
player, go bluray. Your Panasonic Plasma will have 2 scart, 2 or 3 HDMI,
component and Composite/SVideo.

What scart only equipment are you going to use that can't be chained in
such a way that only 2 scarts are sufficient.

The interface between equipment, especially HD, is digital these days
and SCART doesn't carry digital. You should be looking for sets with 3
or more HDMI connectors.

I thought Plasma was a dying technology. It is certainly a power guzzling
interference generating overweight one.

With a much better pic, esp if you compare with SD on an LCD.
I see and work with almost every make and type available and,
personally I wouldn't have an LCD above 32" (unless it was for game
playing). I find the motion artifacts on SD far too obvious and
distracting on larger LCD's and some smaller ones. For me, 37" is the
most difficult size to recommend a set as they are almost all LCD and
I haven't been really happy with the SD pic on one set yet (and I do
spend a considerable time setting them up accurately). Much of this is
caused by poor bit-rate broadcasts but even these still look better on
Plasma.

I haven't seen an LCD come anywhere near matching the blacks I get on
my Panny 50" plasma.

That would be too big for me, I got the 37" LCD Panasonic with Freeview and
Freesat built in, I'm happy with it.
Always open to recomendations in settings.
OP should remember at least Freeview built in so no scart needed for
Freeview box.
Guess like me once you get a HD TV you think about other HD products EG BD
player or standard DVD player with upscaling and of course HDMi used not
scart.

I have a 42" Panasonic plasma - model TH-42PZ700BA - which I am very
pleased with. It has 3 HDMI, 1 component, 3 SCART (only 2 RGB), PC, and
composite input. Optical output also.
