New system... - Blu-ray Forum

Long time lurker, rare poster.
Moving house...wanna upgrade.

looking at the LG 50PQ3000 50-inch Widescreen HD Ready Plasma TV and the LG HT554TH 5.1ch DVD Home Cinema System

My budget is about a grand (euros) I'm in ireland so buying local (and in Northern Island) But I'm really a Home theater 'tard and dunno if this is the best I can get. Not set on 50" I had 42" before but then I moved abroad and its been adopted by a family member. They are gonna pay me for it now and I'm upgrading!

Also not set on the brand...they were picked separately and I didn't even notice they were both LG. Want a decent setup but nothing over complicated!

any advice?

Well I'm not sure what the product availability is in N. Ireland, but I used to have an LG lcd tv and really liked it. As far as home theater in a box sets I personally think Onkyo offers the most bang for the buck.

But thats an american company and to import them would cost a fortune. Hence I'm buying from the uk and ireland

No harm trying all the usual outlets? - Harvey's, Powercity, Peats (very expensive) Currys?

I would def recommend going up North if you can. Newry is as far as you need to go.. You will save a few hundred Euros easily!

Aye planning a recon trip up there next week with my "research" and then a buying trip at the end of the month just in time for the move.
Thought harveys pulled out of ireland? Will deffo go there if they are still about.
