Many thanks! (tx-p37x10)

[Jboy]

My 1st post but have been reading the forums for a few weeks now whilst trying to decide which way to go with my 1st flat screen purchase (previous tv a 19" CRT).

To cut a long story short I have room for a 32" panel comfortably and a 37" at a squeeze and sit approx 6-8ft from the TV. I dont watch a lot of TV (hence no prior upgrade!) but like to watch football/sports and films. A lot of the films I would like to run from my laptop as i download them (laptop has hdmi port).

After reading reviews and comments on this site I have decided on the Panasonic tx-p37x10 (even though having seen it next to an LCD in the shop it looked a bit dull and lifeless?). That said as I am not that clued up on these matters (and think perhaps the settings/lighting in the store may have been poor) I am going with the views and feedback of you guys and have ordered my TV with John Lewis as they have pricematched Richer sounds at £529 - with free delivery.

Only shame was that my local panasonic store could only offer the TV at £600 as would have preferred to support local business...

Once again many thanks, I will feedback my thoughts on the TV once I get it!

Congratulation for your new TV , I am sure you will enjoy it as it is a great TV , just make sure you use the guide lines for the running in period (the first 200 hours)

Thanks TUT - I will check for them - also I believe there are 'optimum' settings for the panel that people have posted... i know a lot of it is personal choice but as I am a complete novice at this - I think playing around with other recommended settings may be the way fwd!

Well done Jboy on your purchase of a great TV. I am sure you will love it!

I was concerned that it may be 'dull' compared with my LCD but not at all!

It is much easier to watch than LCD. I used to find that by the end of an evening's viewing that my I had a bit of eyestrain but not had this with the 37X10.

Enjoy!!

I'm going to pick up my 42X10 tomorrow from JL! Dying to post some first impression comments, and many people here have said i won't be disappointed.

Thanks to everyone who helped me this forums is great. I have been reading it since december which is a long time, originally going for the Old PX80, but i joined when the X10 new models came out

I promise you that you won't be disappointed. It is a brilliant TV and wish I had bought it sooner.

Cheers all - this site has been a huge help in what I can only describe as a minefield of options in buying a LCD/Plasma screen... without reading the views and reviews on here I would definitely still be deciding which way to go!

Can anyone offer any advice on price of HDMI leads? Assuming (hoping) I dont need to spend megabucks.... any recommendations?

No you don't need to spend megabucks - it's often worth spending more than a few pence though, just for decent build quality; I think the last ones I bought were about £7 or £8 each & they were excellent quality

You should find a good cable on here for a few quid
