Hi,

Could people who have either the 37LZD80 or 37LZD800 please post their pro's and con's regarding these 2 sets. Especially from a Standard Definition (Freeview) angle. Many thanks in anticipation....

Come on guys,

Am felijg the same dilema with the 800 but with its benifits over the the 37lzd81. Anyone with these tele's give us a heads up. Does the 800 have a better upscaler than the others so in theory sd should be improved, think I read that somewhere. Is the sd through the freesat any good too?

Save your pennies and get the 37PX80. At this size, 1080p is a non-issue and the plasma has a far more natural colour and is great for gaming with minimal input lag. SD PQ is excellent, what more do you want. Oh, BTW, best buy 37" on this site too. I rest my case.

Very interesting point you make about 1080p not being an issue on the 37"
Because I'm also in a similar situation in which TV to buy, as in not sure to go for a £500 bargain 720p or the £650 higher priced 1080p Check my post http://whathifi.co.uk/forums/t/172286.aspx
Would you say the same being connected to Sky HD will make a diff to them?

Hi Tony,

I've been researching the same TV's as you for a few months now, and have come down to the final week before purchase time. I too am confused as to whether the LZD85 or LZD800 is worth the extra pennies ontop of what the LZD80 in terms of getting anything more out of my PS3 (which I will be buying at the same time for Blue-Ray and HD gaming).

In my opinion though, using the Panasonic 'comparison' functions on the televisions, the 85 model has a few more film bits and pieces to it. As an amature, I have no clue what they mean, but it sold it for me I think. I'm definately going with the 85 model mate. I am also buying it from John Lewis and submitting a price match to PC World, who are doing them for over a hundred cheaper. They should accept this. John Lewis give the TV with the usual 5-yea guarentee , plus a really nice looking, black glass stand.

Not sure that's any use dude, but hope it might settle your mind a bit. I guess spending this much money for us both - you want to make the right decision. According to reviews though, the LZD85 is a superb television and we won't be unhappy.
