Which 42" Plasma should I get?

**Little John** · 21st June 2005

Ok hers the story, I have been asked to source 2x 42" plasma screens to work as PC displays that are to be wall mounted with tilt function. I know I can get the mount from Unicol but I am not too sure which screens to go for as I have not used them for a good few years.

They are going to be on between 9 and 5 everyday so reliability is required and I need connectivity from a PC, the PC isnt speced up yet so any advice?

Cheers

At first I was going to suggest the Pioneer PDP-435XDEwhich is what I have got (43" top of the range plasma, 18 billion colours, HDMI input etc......) But it's not for personal use so wont be appreciated.

Try giving these guys a call - Digital Direct 08701123030 they are in Bolton which is handy for you! The website link is http://digitaldirectuk.com/ but they do better deals over the phone. They will probably give you 2 years warranty etc..... and throw in some leads if you ask nicely. They will beat any price and they Dont sell crap! Won't find a Samsung screen there!

Let us know mate if you decide to go with them.

Thanks Goldberg, I live round the corner almost from them, the only company of that type on that street is the warehouse for sound and vision where I bought me DVD player and sound system from maybe I can call in tomorrow.

Not many come up when I searched for VGA, I have emailed them so lets see what happens.

Thanks
