Well, I've ordered the Sony for £300 delivered. I'm sure that if the Pana is better, it won't be by a mile and that's a decent price. It would be nice if the cheaper model was deemed better though.......

yes 300 pounds is a great price for a system thats shaping up to be a class leader, for a few months at least!

I have asked this in many threads but still have not got a reply, do you know when you will be getting in/testing the bravia x4500? will it be in time for the awards edition?

No sign of the "X' Bravias yet,i'm afraid, so they won't make the Awards issue. But as soon as we get our hands on them we'll run tests and see how they compare for performance and value.
sorry to hijack this but does anyone know if a review of the sony ht is100 will ever appear in the mag?
the speakers are similar to the sony dav is10 which is a 5 star product, so should i expect the same performance?
also would losing out on true HD sound be that big a deal?

If Sony ever deign to give us one, then yes we'll review it. I've got sick of mentioning it to them, to be honest - will chase again Monday. I would buy one to test, but i've maxed our kit budget for the month on two other Sony products and a Samsung TV!
im sure sony read these posts!
especially regarding their str dg820 and its minor flaws!
so please sony give the what hi fi team the ht is100 so i can be put out my misery!
if its not good i will plump for the dg820 honest! well once you update that singular flaw!
thanks for the responses clare.

After reading the Pana 55 review, even if the Sony is just a little off the pace, I'm happy. If it's the better machine, I will be ecstatic!!

Is any one else a little disappointed by the fact that the Panasonic appears to be something of an ugly duckling? I mean, look at the Denon 2500. Gorgeous. Even the cheaper Sony's look darned good. So why is Panasonic designing its best player to fit in well with the £30 argos tat? Or is it just me and you all love its looks? ;-)
Does the panasonic 55 have a better upscaler than the 35. How much better is the 55. Is it worth the extra dosh! Sony 55 or Pana 55????????????????????
19leelong81:Does the panasonic 55 have a better upscaler than the 35.
Yes - as you'd expect for the price difference

Yes, if you're after the extra features and have a display that'll make the most of the improved performance

That'll be revealed in our Awards issue, out Oct 16th.

I'm going to stick my neck out here; Sony is on form. It is hot at the moment. I would have thought the better machine's review would be held back for the Awards issue. I mean, the Pana's review is excellent but it looks all set up for the Awards issue to then say but there is even better out there!

I do wish we had time to think of such devious plotting - rather than just getting the reviews out in order of us having kit in, and having had as long with it as possible before posting the test results...
