Which 42" Plasma to go for??

[Yas786]

Right am getting my sky hd put in tommorrow so need to replace the 32" LG LCD that i have in my front room...its an ok TV but really not that great.

Now my front room...from where ill be sitting its around 6-7' foot so i would think a 42" tv should be fine??.

So ive been looking at panasonic plasmas and also the Samsung LCDS/plasmas but cant figure out which will be the best for me...not looking to spend a stupid amount on the tv.

Like i said it will be used for sky hd and sd viewing plus blu ray as well....so any recommendations as to what i should go for??.

Cheers guys i was looking at the 42X10 actually and it looks pretty good from reading reviews...although the 42G10 is slightly more expensive but looks pretty good from the reviews too.

Budget?

Panasonic G10, G15 or V10 would be my choice which puts it at a cost of around 800, 900 and 1100 I think?

Looking at around £1k max i suppose...better if i can get it cheaper tho

Just had a look and saw the 42G10 going for about £700 odd quid which is cheaper than Comets or Currys who are doing them for £900 i think.

Well i ordered the Panasonic TXP42G15B 42" plasma screen...got it for about £850 as i convinced the guy to give me a discount...sadly they are out of stock till next week.

Was blown away by the picture quality on both SD and HD so as i got my sky hd installed today...i think it will go very well with the HD.

Cannot wait and it looks like a stunning plasma...only difference between the G10 and G15 is the G15 has 600hz whereas the G10 only does 100hz...and from what i saw of both screens the G15 looked much better.

Whats the 600hz / 100hz difference you are referring to?

The only differences I see between the G15 and G10 are:

Lan Port
Deep Colour
+1 HDMI
VIERA Cast
DLNA & DivX

According to the place i got it from thats what they said...cant put the url as they are competitors i think...they sell laptops and other pc computing bits.

Anyhow doesnt matter i saw the screen and was impressed enough by it...plus it has 4 hdmi ports rather than the 3 that they G10 comes with...always handy for future upgrades etc
