£500 for a tv

[admin_exported]

My parents have asked me to source them out the best 40/42" tv i can get for £500 there may be abit of flex in the budget but not much. They currently have a basic dvd and a tompson freeview twin tuner connected so a quality onboard tuner is very important, future wise i guess they could possibly have a freeview HD twin tuner and an upscaling dvd but nothing more. I was thinking about the TX-P42X20B but is there anything better about ?

All of the below are full HD as opposed to HD ready of the Panasonic X20. Panasonic X20 is also very good.

Yes, he is already considering that.

Is there any other plasma's to consider?

Im just not that convinced with lcd to be honest.

The LG options I have given are plasmas. But I think, the Panasonic X20 may be better than them. Do a side by side comparison if you can.

And I would agree with Bigboss on this one

Think you've linked the wrong ones as all 3 sets are lcd mate

You are right (did not actually check the links...)
Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with UK suppliers, so you will have to search for yourself.

I still believe the Panasonic TX-P42X20 is the best optian with your budget.

Panasonic TX-P42X20 exactly, now you get it

You are right! I never knew 42-inch LCD TVs existed!! I thought they only made 40-inch ones!!!
