Hi all, in need of some advice here.
Currently have a Toshiba 32WLT68, while the picture is ok the interface is clunky and not all that ecstatic about the way the AV input channels work either.
So we've come into a little bit of money and are looking to pick up a nice shiny new 40" or 42" set, but we're really not sure what to go for.
Had a look around town today and there were 4 that took our interest;
Panasonic TH42PZ80B Plasma - £749 from John Lewis w/ 5 yr warranty
Toshiba 42XV505DB LCD - £629 from John Lewis w/ 5 yr warranty
Sony Bravia KDL40V4000 - £739 from John Lewis w/ 5 yr warranty
Toshiba 40XF355D LCD - £729 from Currys w/ 1 yr warranty
From what i've read it seems that the Panasonic is the best picture quality of the above 4, but compared to the others, it's a bit of an eyesore! The Toshiba 40XF was gorgeous, but looking at the specs, it doesnt seem to compare so well to the 42XF505DB. As for the 42XF505DB, if I chose this, maybe i'd be better off waiting for the F555 as it has 100Hz and apparantly better motion?
Very confused! Also saw some Sharps that looked nice - havent seen much info around here on these, any reason for that?
Any advice on the above or suggestions for alternatives would be most welcome! Cheers!
