Panasonic TX-P42U30B vs TX-P42S20B

Hi All,

I'm just looking for a bit of advice really.

I've found the TX-P42U30B for £462.90 on the Internet, which seems like a great price for a 42" Panasonic Plasma, however I can't find any review on it. I'm assuming this is because it's a 2011 model.

However, I've also been able to find the Panasonic TX-P42S20B for £499.99 - which I've been able to find loads of great reviews for (being a 2010 model).

Therefore, I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this TV and if so, which one is the better model?

Cheers,
MonkieMann

I don't think £500 is a very good price for last years lower range 42" plasma. I've seen mid range 46" - 50" sets selling for around the £600 mark.

Thanks, I've been doing some research on the TX-P50U30B (the 50" version on the TX-P42U30B) and that appears to be the lower range 2011 model so I think I'll give that one a miss too.

I'm now looking at the TX-P42G20B which seems to get great reviews, however it is quite a bit more expensive, but will probably be worth it.

I picked up a TX-P50G20B last week for £599 from the local panasonic store. Great TV ..

Is a 50" too big for your needs ? It's a great price at moment for them while they last at the store you will need to tell them to do a price match otherwise its £899.. found the 42 in google shopping for £515 which I still think is a bit much if the 50" is only £85 more.

That sounds awesome, a 50" would be ideal actually, I just didn't realise you could get them so cheap! I've emailed you trust email address for some more information. Is that okay?
