thanx looked good for me too but i find the more you go into these things the more complicated it gets ie. plasma or lcd 1080 or not etc

if u look at the panasonic 42" or 50" px60 models, last years model been replaced by the px600, they are great pict and value for money, they were £3000 for the 42" last year and won most awards now can be picked up for less than a grand.

the stats on paper doesnt always mean a good pict, like the toshibas we have offshore, true 1080p sets but they look crap.

U gotta ask what u will be using the tv for, if u are only going with SD ie sky and dvd i would not go for a 1080p set i would go for a 720p set as there is to much upscalling going on and the 1080p sets look blocky

If u are going to be playing loads of games xbox ps3 i would get a lcd 1080p but if its for watching tv and movies etc i would get a plasma

Match the ratio closly to what u will be using it for, no point having a 1080p set if the signal is standard deffinition, it will look terrible.

if the set is to be in a sun room the lcd has the added advantage of having a less reflective screen, but if its in a normal living room this will not make any difference

If u want to wall mount it lcd's and pioneer plasmas are light but a decent wall bracket will have no problems with any plasma.
