Don't suppose you would but don't expect much in the way of good advice
when your buying it..

Who needs the advice of shop salespeople? They will only attempt to flog
you the items with the greatest profit margin and then an unnecessary
extended warranty.

The only advantage shopping in a local store is that you can get the
goods immediately without having to wait for delivery.


Well years ago when I was in the TV trade I reckon that overall pictures
were much better then what they are today, as you had a trained engineer
who knew what the picture was supposed to look like and we insisted that
an efficient aerial be used and overall standards were higher.

And today **** poor set up TV's showing nothing like they can do!.

Two of our neighbours using indoor aerials with very mixed results and
the widescreen that the other has all over the place!....

and I just found SWMBO watching dttv with the picture in 4:3 mode. She
said she hadn't noticed ;-(

In my experience TWMBO (the collective noun for SWMBO :-) very rarely do -
especially when it's a 4:3 stretched to 16:9. Personally I believe it is a
genetically inherited defence mechanism designed to thwart our arguments for
spending megabucks on an even bigger and better one before we even open our
mouths......................

Panasonic every time (as long as its the 600/700 not 60/70 range) I have the
600 series 32" lcd, its superb, got that after 2 months review hunting of
all the 32" lcd's available, and then some 2 hours comparing in John
Lewis's, got John Lewis to price match (was listed at £1300, got it for
£999) and they chuck in a 5 year warranty, get yourself over to av forums
and ask around, most helpful bunch of people http://www.avforums.com/

at first appear, and in that thread the group seemed to agree with me that
information posted on a manufacturer's website is just plain wrong, in that
it runs contrary to the laws of physics!
