NEW Panasonic plasma UK models

[Anonymous]

can you confirm if TH-P42V1 is full 1080p & if there is any indication on release & price?

From what we know so far - big model line-up story here - it appears the model number ends with '10' it's Full HD/1080p, and if it's '1' then it's HD Ready/720p.

Though there could be exceptions - manufacturers' means of naming models never cease to amaze/infuriate me.

People had just got to understand Panasonic's naming conventions (TH meant plasma; TX meant LCD; Z meant Full HD, X meant HD Ready) and now they seem to have changed it.

Which is exactly what I mean about there being no logic!

Have just checked with Panasonic and the original RRP's are still correct. Seems that directtvs are aiming to steal a march on other dealers by offering a £100 discount from day one, which is good for customers. You might want to google 'directtvs' just to get an idea of the kind of company they are. I'd be inclined to wait a few weeks and look for the good prices AND a 5yr guarantee.
