Well, its goodbye to my LG RZ-42PX11 Plasma. It developed the green speckles problem that got worse each day. I have only had the Plasma for 6 months so reported a fault with Comet who sent an engineer out the next day. The engineer took one look and said the PDP was on its way out and would need replacing. Two days later I received a letter from Comet saying that replacement parts for this model are no longer available so a repair cannot be carried out. I was asked to go to my local Comet store and arrange delivery of a new Plasma. I went to my local store and tried to arrange the delivery of a replacement LG RZ-42PX11 plasma but was told that this model is out of stock and would not be in stock for the foreseeable future, if ever. This applies to all Comet Stores not just the one I was in at the time. So reluctantly I had to select another brand/model of TV. I ended up choosing the Sagum HDD45 DLP and paying the extra £250 as this is the only model that comes close in connectivity and spec at below £2000. I know its not plasma but the only other Plasma I would have considered as a replacement is the Pioneer 42 @ £2499 and I was not willing to pay that much extra. I really loved my LG plasma. I used it not only for Sky/DVD viewing but also played PS2/Xbox and did a lot of browsing using the PC and was more than happy with the quality, in fact I would go as far as saying it was superb in every respect.
So its a sad and reluctant farewell to my LG, I just hope when I get the Sagum home it lives up to its predecessor.
