I've been offered a Siemens Myrica P42-2H plasma TV. It's a 42" model. Anybody know much about this set? What would be a good price, is it a nice set etc. Any help or advise appreciated. I have to place my order by 12.00pm today. It's also on a first come first served basis!
Thanks
Graham

You can get 37" LCD HD ready for a grand now if you look about.

FWIW I've got a Panasonic 42" plasma and bought a Samsung 32" LCD for my step father ..... Both are good but I personally think the Plasma has a better picture ..... had it for 3 years and no problems.
