anyone got one of the above?
how good is it?

quite fancy one.... think its the neon back lighting does it for me lol
what price to pay??

looked on the net and cheapest 32" is just over £1800..... going upto about £2500 at John Lewis's.. but they offer 5yrs warranty! is that worth the extra £800?


any help would be great........ logiclee

to be honest a 32" plasma will look small. IMO they "look" smaller than a 32" CRT. for that budget Id look at £2k for the 37" Panasonic Viera, VERY good plasma IMO. I have it and it looks smart in the front room. gonna wall mount it this week John Lewis price match a store (not online) and give the 5yr warrenty for free so find it in a shop (i.e currys or dixons) cheaper than JL and then go i nand get it price matched

37" will be too big for the wall i want to mount it on.

JL... is a good option with the warranty.. and seeing thar life span of plasma is only approx 30000 hrs (20yrs with 5hrs use a day) it might be worth considering.

depends. some plasmas are reportedly given 60k hours use. try www.avforums.com full of people in the know you'd get a better response of them

They tend to suffer from burn in, left for periods with the same image. That screen looks good and future proof as it can do HD.

i've read LCD's hav 60k hours and Plasmas 30k.
there was a nfo book on Big TV's in Comet telling you al about the various types and style.


thats why i like the PHILIPS 'ambilight'.. with the glo it gives over the back wall
