New TV time what to get?

[Steve]

Gave my dad my4 yr old panny 37 plasma.
So should I stay panny plasma but go for 42 or 50?
Which models are the ones to have, costs & wheres bests to get from would be good
Not interested in LCD.
LED a possibility but still prefer Plasma.
Not thinking of 3D just yet as wearing glasses is just wrong, the technology is just round corner to do without glasses.

Budget £6-700 cheaper would be good

This is one of the best places for prices, and they also do a 5 year guarantee for 10% of purchase price, so 5 years cover for £50 if you buy a £500 TV.

Basically this .. go onto RS website and see what you fancy ! Hopefully there's one near you.. best thing about them is their warranty.

richersounds is a damn good place to look. i have a panasonic 50" plasma i got 2 years ago. was £1100 or so then but its about £600 ish now due to newer tvs and 3d.

its has better picture quality than my dads led tv and my mates £2000 lg 3D. in my opinion you should buy Pioneer and if you can afford or dont want to spend that much then panasonic is the next best thing

im a big fan of samsung! i think last time i had a look on ebuyer.com there was a 40ish inch one, 100hz, really good contrast ratio and 3D capable/ready, going for about £640 if i remember rightly!

Constructive.

Every time I've been to RS, they've known exactly what I'm talking about. Unlike places like Currys/Comet which have spotty part-timers who don't know the difference between 1080i and 1080p, let alone answer any serious questions about their TVs.

JohnLewis and RS are the best sellers in my experience for support and knowledge.

Do tell us why.

 

[mark_182_54]

promised delivery of televison for 2 weeks nothing rang them up and demanded a full refund thus took 4 days to return

RGB direct on the other hand have been faultless to me , just my experience

constructive - no simply because when buying something you should do your OWN homework rather than relying on on a salemen in a tv shop !!

 

[SC03OTT]

So there is nothing actually wrong with them then. You just don't like them.

 

[mark_182_54]

well telling you ur tv will be with you within 2 days and not actually sending out etc , google them im not the only one who doesnt rate them

 

[ChrisR]

I don't mind them, but don't rate them either.

Local shop were alright when I bought some bits off them a year or 2 ago, but nothing special and not more so than the local panasonic store where we got the tv from.

I do my own homework first, then ask the same questions in store. I have confidence in my local RS due to their knowledge and ability to come up with the same answers I already know.

Unlike other highstreet stores, where I've point blank told the staff they are wrong.

Glad to hear you got the Panny, in my experience Panasonic make the best Plasma's just now. LG used to be shockingly bad but they have got a bit better recently. Still wouldn't buy one though.
