As Stox said, plasma do have problems, LCD is the way.
Also save your money and buy a LG, they make the tv's for all the big brand companys and according to some late night program I watched a while ago they are way ahead in the HD technology race!

Bought my 42" Hitachi PD3000E Plasma (? think that was the ref) from Digital Direct over 2 years ago, best price available at the time.

Excellent product and absolutely no problems with it.

Regarding Digital Direct, found them very easy to deal with, delivered to the door offloaded and unpacked to make sure all was ok, and they negociated on prices for leads and brackets - which aren't cheap.

ide love one but with our jack (16 months old) hes all ways sticking up the screen on our tv so i got to wait a bit.:eureka:

Thanks for all the advice I know crap all about LCDs/Plasmas,I have an LG with my computer and its brill for games.
all ive gone on so far is advice from mates and leafing through What Plasma.
Ive been to see both LCD and Plasma in a independant outlet I went in looking at buying an LCD but when playing a DVD back to back with the same film the PLasma was by far the superior picture the blacks were really deep and clear of edge fade and there was no blurring in fast moving scenes the depth of silvers etc made metal look as though you could touch it.
So Im not sure which way to go and I'll do a bit more research
thanks ian
