Seems a bit too cheap to me, but I don't need speakers or a tuner...


You get what you pay for. Don't spend £2k without seeing it beside a
Panasonic or Pioneer first.

If you don't need speakers or tuner, take a look at the Panasonic v6.
The extra £500 will be well spent.

Cheers for the reply, where did you pick that Panny up from and how much
more is the 42"? What sort of extended cover did they offer on it? Will I
see it before xmas is the biggie....


You can get a 42" Panasonic for the same money from a number of
suppliers (check out www.avforums.com). I ordered mine from nexnix at
3:30 and it arrived at 10 the next morning.

OK, I know its bad form to reply to your own post, but I have started to
look into this a bit more and have a few more links.

Other Specs: http://tinyurl.com/zcr9

The spec looks OK, it does everything I want and the best price I have found
is £1821 + £60 next day delivery at just projectors, or £1891 + £99 delivery
with a free European flight at empire. Either way, it is about a grand less
than the equivalent Panasonic model I was intent on getting.

The only things that puts me off is that the company is a subsidiary of
Orion (which says a bit about the ASDA of it all) and I have not found one
online review.

If I am ordering, it has to be Wednesday...

Ok, I have talked the missus round to getting a Plasma this weekend, so I
as
long as the bank say "Yes Mr. Internet, we want you take consolidate your
existing lending at a lower interest rate" then I am on...

For slightly more you could have a PW 6 with 3m scart lead, wall mount,
switcher box and scart plug in for plasma. As has already been said the 5
had problems and I would steer clear. you could dump the switcher box and go
for component in via your dvd wit, progressive scan. There are others the
pio 433 and hitachi that are good but imho not as good as the panny, but if
you intend to spend this sort of monies you should invest in the time to see
them all.

Then it probably is. If you want to risk it, go ahead, but don't come
back and complain when it's a piece of s***. I've had my series 4 Panny
for a year or so now and the only thing I'd swap it for is another
Panny. Pioneer? Two words: black levels.

its a Samsung or LG - ****e by comparison. You been shown a 6 series Panny
for some £1K less than I paid for my 5 series a year ago - go get it!
Nexnix are a good company and helpful - they are based in Sussex I think,
and have a showroom full of competition plasmas. It is there that you'll see
that your cheapskate question is embarrassing!

How (if at all noticeably) do the new Panasonics differ from the
TH-42PW4 model?

I reckon the 04 series I had was *slightly* sharper overall than a the 06
series I now have. Having said that mines got the integrated tuner &
speakers etc. The 06 series has better contrast, but not massively.

The one I have has great connectivity & looks superb too.

Cheers for the help guys, but think that the Plasma is off after I got a
horrible Credit Card Statement this morning... damn.
