I don't think this telly is on there but as a general point of review I tend to find that cnet is a good site to check

That 32" for £399 at Woolies is actually a cracking TV. It's a rebranded Thompson which retails for £800 elsewhere and with an 8ms refresh it's a lot better than a lot of big namers around the £5-600 mark.

£900 starting bid is madness!!
Prices are collapsing all around if you watch .......
LCDs are VERY cheap to produce against Plasmas - they are simply charging Plasma money for LCDs as they know we expect 'that' price level!
LCDs at 37" should be, and will be, £499 by summer 2007.

50" Panasonic PX60 with wall bracket, including free delivery AND 5yr Panasonic warranty £1610
I demo'd this set against Pioneer, Hitachi, LG and Sony and it won hands down, hence mine will be delivered this Sunday
PS. With the 5yr warranty you also get either X-Men3 or Ice Age 2 free on DVD

I bought one - they were right, I am right, STI-04 is right
spend your £ take your choice
Went to a party at the weekend - they had a 50 (ish) Bush Plasma
Cost f 'all
And the picture reflected that
And the sound was worse.
I am a firm believer in
QUALITY costs MONEY !
PRUDENCE costs QUALITY !

"About 3/4 of a Kilowatt power draw. As are most of these oversized LCD/Plasma TVs"
hardly that big a deal unless you watch TV 24/7 - i have over a kilowatt of lighting on my fish tank! If you can afford a £2k telly i'm sure they can afford the leccy bill!

Don't.....You'll give us nightmares. Thats the equivalent of a debadged 316i with 19" wheels and an M-Tec bodykit. One upmanship for the neighbours.
In my local pub they have Realsys (sp??) 'plasmas' they may as well make the screens from LEDs they are that pixelated.

If the sound was pants, and it was run through an amp it was nothing to do with the TV.

It has a "swivel base" that you control from the remote, and our lounge is quite long, so its perfect - wherever you sit in the room you can swivel the screen to get the best viewing.

I bought the Technosonic 32" TV from woolies and it is outstanding for £399!! I'm really chuffed with it and can't wait to have it wall mounted in the bedroom. Just the other day I took delivery of the livingroom TV a 9-series Panasonic commercial panel. Firstly it's not a TV but then I actually prefer that as I have Telewest TV drive and an Onkyo receiver with 5.1 speakers. The plasma picture is outstanding and that was when I turned all the settings down to run her in.
There is a lot of fighting between Pioneer & Panasonic and to a lesser extent Fujitsi (or however its spelt). The bottom line is that these 3 manufacturers are currently knocking out the best plasma's on the market and you won't go far wrong if you get one of them. Which one you go for is down to personal taste - pioneers are known for retention and burn and the panasonic x60 and x600 have some colour rendering problems. Fortunately the 9-series panel has neither of these
