|
 |
My parents are finally going to upgrade to a slimmer TV. They set the price range to be under 1000€. I have no clue what the size or the tech behind the TV should be nowadays. The viewers sit about 2.5m away from the screen i think and there can be sunlight coming from windows behind the TV into viewers eyes.

Now thats its your parents - maybe they will watch as much SD as HD? Sun behind the TV is no problem. Good allrounder is Panasonic TX-P42G30.
There are two kinds of people I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

And what's so wrong with plasma?

Nothing wrong with plasma. there's pro's and con's of both lcd/plasma. Having both (Panasonic's) Plasma's produce a much more natural picture with gorgeous blacks.

short life cycle 50k h [the twice as long on LCD], burn ins and ghosting and are not designed for static images
to make it more understandable for someone thats in his 50's [or make it understandable for a 6 year old] :
Plasma are like your old TV but they can display images in HD but you can't use them as a PC monitor or display static images on them, they life cycle is from 4 to 5 years depending on your settings and they are power hogs
Lcds well ... long life cycle , can be used as a PC monitor [or a console TV had plasmas and well had a bad exp with them], can display static images , no ghosting or burn ins , eco friendly in using power
plain short : want a TV like your old TV [power hog like there where ]that can display HD get a Plasma , want a digital TV that can act a a jack of all trades last long and can be later used as a console/TV extension get a LCD

I'd suggest to get my own TV.
http://www.lg.com/uk/tv-audio-video/televisions/LG-led-tv-47LE5300.jsp
47" (119cm)
100Hz (don't get fooled by plasma 600Hz  )
LED Backlight, a real power saver!
4xHDMI, Full HD, native 24p support
Plays any content I fed it with.. plugged my 1TB external USB harddisk to the tv's USB and it played mkv (x264, 1080p), avi (divx, xvid), mp3, jpg ... basically anything I threw at it perfectly
...
Basically watching movies, playing games.. anything you can imagine is great with it.
Good blacks and it is perfect as a PC monitor and even for graphical stuff! (you just need to set it to PC mode for that -> basically no lag! )
-
And the menus are huge and very easily to navigate through, which should make it fairly easy for your parents to use it
Edit: Just checked the prices xD The TV is now 200-400 euro more expensive than when I bought it 1+ year ago  I guess there are newer 47" by LG I'd suggest check them out! Just go to an electronic store of your choice and compare an LG LED with a Samsung LED

The above is not true (some of it was true like 7-8 years ago tho) - go to any serious hi-fi site and have a read. But your parents will be happy with a LCD as well, so no worry - just wanted you to have an reply.
For best image, handling of fast movement on screen and real blacks - see my choice. Plasma models still use a little more energy than new LCD´s - but its alot less than it was. I use my pana plasma for games all the time btw.
