Do i get a PDPLX5090! argh.....

I currently have a Pio 4280 8G set and a Panasonic PX80. Im really tempted by a bigger set, either a projector ( looking at the optoma hd700 ) or a Pio LX5090.....

I can get a pdplx5090 + 5yr warrenty for £2127
PIONEER PDPLX5090 **INSTORE PROMO** FREE 5 YEAR WARRANTY OR **ONLINE PROMO** Free Pioneer DVD Player DV310 Black/Silver ( price match to richer sounds )

Then sell my panny px80 for £500 to a mate. Leaving me £1627 to pay for this upgrade.... Shall i do this or buy the projector.....?

Im a student if that makes any real difference here, i certainly dont "NEED" this screen, and the room it will go into is tiny.

But something keeps drawing me towards it!

forget all this" save you money were in a credit crisis" if you can afford it go for it, the 5090 is a cracking set and is miles ahead of both your current tvs

Spolit brat

I just saw how good the 5090 was compared to the older 8G set I was upgrading from (TLCs faults ) and had to get myself a credit card. 12months interest free on purchases so enough time to pay it off

Enjoy your set you little brat
