Dixons and currys as part of the group are doing it aswell.

Use SALE25 at dixons for an extra 2.5% off.

[speedsurfer]

Thanks for the 2.5% code!

So that makes it £487.49 including free delivery (Dixons)!

[killiefan]

Is this the cheapest price you can get it for then?

[speedsurfer]

Unfortunately the code has expired! So at the moment £499.99 is the cheapest you will find anywhere as far as I'm aware.

Personally I'd phone up your local Richer Sounds, if they have stock or can get stock, they will do a 5 year warranty for an extra £49.95. Making the total £549.90. Be quick mind, stock is getting rare.

That code still works as i've just used it price was £487.49 So hopefully dixons will send me a delivery confirmation email in a few days

[speedsurfer]

Yeah, my bad. I got the vouchers SALE25 and SAVE25 mixed up. SAVE25 has expired but SALE25 works.

Sadly for me they don't deliver, as I can't fit a box that size in the back of my car.

[speedsurfer]

Yeah it is a pain, the box is huge. From the FAQ:

42PX80: The box dimensions are W 114cm x D 33cm x H 79cm

Just about fits in our old shape Vauxhall Zafira.

Hello all,

KDL0V4000 @ £494 or Panasonic 42PX80B @ £499?

At present I'm thinking of the panasonic, any thoughts?

Thanks!

[speedsurfer]

What you planning on using it for? SD? HD? Consoles? Pc?

[Procrastinator]

70% sd 25% hd 5% xbox......

[speedsurfer]

Personally I'd go with the Panasonic, should have better SD viewing. I would however suggest viewing them both in the flesh if you haven't already.

[Procrastinator]

Cheers, will try, but struggled to find a shop with the panasonic in stock and can't find one close by that also has the sony..... HHHMMM....

I'm upgrading from a budget Mirai lcd, so something tells me I'm go be a happy bunny whichever I go for....

[speedsurfer]

Yeah, should be a big step up. Got a richer sounds local? They are normally pretty good, unlikely to have the Sony on display though.

[Procrastinator]

Yeah there is a richer sounds.... But called them and they don't have it in stock. I have a panasonic reserved at a nearby Currys... Agree I don't like currys, but not got much choice! Will call RS before I pick it up though to see if they have got any more in....

[speedsurfer]

Yeah, in a similar situation myself. Main advantage of RS aside from the better customer care is the 5 year warranty for 10% of the price.

Got mine in a 106 peugeot took it out the box used straps round the rear seat half to stop it moving just flatted box stuffed all packing bits in boot did 60 miles or so no probs you just gotta improvise

[speedsurfer]

Good stuff!

Still not got mine, hoping Richer Sounds get some in.

[Procrastinator]

I gave in and went and got one from currys (neither of the RS near me had them)...

It most definately gets a

Watched the first 10 mins of Transformers on Blu Ray

Though I failed to get it in the boot.... I knew the box dimensions would fit, but what I hadn't counted on was the lip on the boot would mean it wasn't possible to get the box in there... Sob...

Had to get my OH's dad to come and pick it up.... Now that I'm back it is quite funny really!

Dixons have this for £499 and if you add a battery for a couple of quid you can use the code newyear50 to save £50 - therefore getting this for £451 delivered!

Code expires today though

[speedsurfer]

Good price, same as what I didn't get on Christmas day. Shame they are out of stock in my area.

[bikemad]

Iv brought from Richer sounds got the 5 year warranty £550 Dixons was tempting £450 ish but this is a last purchase for a while so I want peace of mind.

Yes its an excellent buy, I have the 37", this is not a full HD set (its a 720p) but 720p is fine for this size of set (you're are not missing much not having 1080p on a 42" at say 9 feet), the SD quality is fantastic on the 37" and I guess you'll lose a bit on the 42" but not much.

Whilst people say LCD is catching up, I still think plasma has the edge and at this price I doubt any LCD will come close to the Panny, forget 'in' shop comparisons etc, get the Panny Plasma home and it shines.

[-Ad-]

The panny is easily superior to the sony V series, and even the W series.

Stick with it
