I want a second TV to watch the World Cup and have narrowed it down to the Panasonic TX L37G10 (LCD), £599 at Richer Sounds or the Panasonic TX P37X20B (Plasma) £459 at Dixons. I have a V+ box so I don't need Freesat. What do people think my best option would be?
LCD or Plasma for watching the World Cup

I have seen abit of these tv's and the G10 really impressed me, that has a fantastic picture on it
does it have to be 37in ? £640 gets you a 42g10 plasma at richer sounds , perfect for sport , and everything else , cracking tv ...
Thanks for getting back to me. It does have to be 37ins my wife won't let me get anything bigger. I am tending towards the plasma
Plasma all the way! Far more natural colours (pitches look a very artificial green to my eyes on LCD's). Add in plasma's reduced motion blur and it's a done deal IMO.
I've had top of the range Sony and Panny LCD's recently - neither hold a candle to the Panny plasma I now have for watching the beautiful game

Don't forget what the WHF team have said, the gap between the two technologies is no longer there. You chose whichever you prefer.

to a certain extent , yes .. but decent plasmas still have a more natural picture , are still better with motion and still show more detail in dark scenes

I know, that's why I travelled the world to find a Kuro!
I don't think people should chose on the technology alone, the eyes will tell you all.

Just out of interest you say you travelled the world for a Kuro, where did you buy one from?
Thanks

I didn't literally travel the world, more the world wide web. I bought it from Frank Harvey in the end.
I have the 37in G10 and did a side by side with a Panasonic 37inch plasma (can't remember the model number) before I bought it (fortunatly they had them set up in John Lewis). I couldn't see much in it at the time but the G10 slightly edged it for my eyes. I have had no issue with the set at all, in fact I would heartilly recommend it. The SD and Freesat picture quality is tip top. I don't have BluRay so can't comment on that
One thing I would say and I'm not too sure as to the validity of this observation but...... I watched the Champions League match between Barca and Inter 2nd leg on ITV HD and I did notice at times there was some slight blurring around the odd player now and again. I have watched footy (and other sports) on BBC HD before now and not seen this effect so I put it down to the broadcast as it was only on close up shots, the players weren't moving quickly and the effect wasn't consistantly present. I may be way way off base with that comment, but it made me feel better to think that it was the reason and I hadn't bought the wrong telly
. I have since made a point of watching the BBC and ITV HD channels and not seen the same effect again
On a final note, I know "er indoors" has drawn the line in the sand (mine did the same) but if I was choosing again, I'd risk a night in the spare room and go for the 42 inch G10 plasma . As Max says it is a different animal altogether with, IMHO a superior picture to the 37inch LCD.

Try the shrinking story on the missus - they do actually seem huge 42 inch TV's when you get them, but they shrink over time.
My missus says now she wishes we had got a 50 inch plasma and she was dead against 42 inches at first.
Muhahahaha (rings hands in future anticipation!)
