[Dansta]

tosh quote that the panel is 'full 1080'... why they can't be like the rest of the manufactures and put wether its 1080i or 1080p is beyond me. so who know.s

Had 3 Tosh's and none have ever died on me yet, in fact we have a 16 year old portable in the garage that still works A1

I'm really not a fan of plasma though, just doesn't cut it for me, LCD or DLP would be the weapon of choice.

Some info on the Tosh:

As the model name suggests, this is a 42in television, but it’s also worth mentioning that it falls under Toshiba’s new Regza branding. I’m not 100 per cent convinced about the Regza name, but then I guess it’s no different from Sony’s Bravia or Panasonic’s Viera branding. Obviously the jewel in the crown of this TV is the “full HD” 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, so when you feed the 42WLT66 a 1080i signal you’re getting a true 1080 line picture, rather then once scaled back to 768 lines, as with most of the current competition. There’s debate on whether a 720p or 1080i signal gives you better quality, due to the interlacing on the latter – however, since an LCD panel is progressive in nature, the TV will de-interlace the signal and the image viewed will be 1080p.

I have viewed both running from the same source. For me I preffered the Panasonic colours and picture quality. They were both very good on HD. On SD though the Panasonic was much much better!! I bought the panasonic.
