Hi everyone,

Any thoughts?
It will be used for Sky HD alone and lots of football

Thanks for your time either way.

Chris.

Panasonic 37x10 plasma, 720p HD ready but excellent for sport and TV (HD isn't 1080p). I am watching ESPN hd now on my previous gen model, very good

If you want a full HD set, make sure you get 100hz, look at the Panasonics, Samsung 40b650 or Sony 40w5500 (might be slightly over budget)

after looking around a bit, is the samsung le40b650 a good shout...
also why are people saying the 37" version is worse?

They use non-Samsung panels, different type (same for the Sony 37s) - the 40" panels are made by the manufacturers

because it uses a different panel(lower quality).The same applies to 37W5500,so it d be better to stick with the 40B650/40W5500.Both around the budget!
