Reserved the TV, got the Advert, went to pick it up from Richer Sounds and they did everything they could to make us by an LCD Phillips!
Kept going on about SD being crap on the Panasonic. Now I know it's not going to be anywhere near as good as my current CRT Sony (Crystal Pic but I thought it couldn't be that bad!) Decided to walk away.
On way home popped into local TV shop, had the Panasonic on display for £999.99. Asked if we could watch some SD TV through it, which they happily did. Go them to knock it down to £799.99 including free delivery and installation.
I will not be going back to Richer Sounds!

the worst panasonic is miles better than the best philips, anyone who thinks philips make good tv's needs their head giving a bash.
Philips have one of the highest return rates where i work, Ive owned 2 LG's both of which i wasnt satisfied with so took them back and spent the money on a panasonic (lcd admitadly) and never going to touch LG again.
The pansonic is an excellent set, if you can strech to it you will not regret it, 100mhz isnt the be all and end all of plasma's infact Samsung think that plasma cant handle it, so their tv's on do 85mhz (yet to be convinced), the pansonic you have is capable of 24fps if you desire, even though its not documented.
Philips plasma's are cheap but just totally rubbish. Over sharp, lack of pc connections, poor clear filter so a massive amount of internal reflections.
Not a philips fan incase you couldnt tell.

sneeks, still got the 5 year warrenty. So I'm happy, plus I always prefer to support local business (even though I got them to knoch £200 off!)
The guy at Richer sounds, was very polite, and didn't give us the hard sell,just said that the Panasonic has crap SD, Crap Warrenty, always breaks etc etc. Trying to get us to got for a Pioneer, or a Phillips if we couldn't stretch to that.
Maybe they have sold the one they said they had reserved? I don't know. Just didn't 'feel' right.
The guy in RS has a Phillips, loved it!

As an owner, and a person who did a LOT of research on all the models avaiable I can quite honest say that he is talking shite and doesn't know his arse from his elbow.
Phillips = s**t
LG = s**t (although their new sets are a lot better)
Samsung = s**t (well their LCD's at least !)
Pioneer = Good
Panasonic = Best
SD on a panasonic is the best i've ever seen it on a large set. and HD is superb. The only one thing it doesn't have (on my one at least) is 1080p although it will quite happily accept a 1080p signal.

You could, but make sure its on a 24/7 channel with no logo's or news tickers.
There is an excellent thread on avforums with all the running in settings you need to change for panasonic sets.
