I've decided to go for the Pioneer PDP428XD but the best price by far is from one of the cheap internet-only sites but I don't know how reliable they'd be and whether its worth paying the extra for the 5 year warranty.
I've haven't really hear much about these on-line stores but I'm concerned about the care taken in transit as I've heard plasmas need to be kept upright at all times. Do these cheap internet sites use cheap delivery services who don't care? Has anybody had any experiences, good or bad?
Also, are the 5 year warranties worth it? Its one thing to be damaged in transit but are they likely to have problems that are covered by warranty (my knowledge of plasma is limited to its benefits!).
Finally, I have not been able to price match the 428 at John Lewis as they only stock the 4280 model. The choice I have is £1,700 for the 428 with a 5 year warranty from CheapElectrics, or £1,100 for the 4280 from Dixons with a 1 year warranty.......Is the better set with a longer warranty really worth an extra £600? (I have saved up £2000 for the screen plus SKY HD so cash I save is a bonus, not essential).
Really appreciate your advice on this as I'm anxious to get viewing, but scared of making a choice I'll regret.
Thanks
