Is it true? Have Philips ceased production of the 37pfl9604 because of a component supply problem (earlier post by markyd)? I know (thanks to Clare) Philips have said they are going end of life at the end of this month. Sound and Vision (Bolton) say they should be getting some stock end of the month/start of next/when Philips do. Should I believe them? Should I go for the new 8000 series when available? How much will they be? Oh, my head hurts.....

The 37PFL9604 is finished and there will be one small delivery hopefully coming in next week. There will be no 37PFL9605 in the UK but you can look at the 37PFL7605 as a direct replacment.

The 40PFL8664 is not as good a set IMO. You could hold on for the new 7605 or look at the 42" if you have the space. The slimmer 42PFL9664 is available at £1299 now.

To my eyes the 9664 is a great set and only beaten by the 9704. Both the 42" and 47" 9664 are class leaders IMO. The 9704 is to my eyes the best LCD TV available right now. We only stock 8 and 9 series at the moment so I can't comment on the other ranges.

I have no idea about their stock levels, but have you tried TV & Video Direct on Knowsley Street? I'm sure they do Philips - could be worth a call to see if they have any stock...

Nick, in your opinion, what is the best plasma available right now, and how does the 9704 compare?

The best plasma at the moment is the Panasonic 46 or 54 Z1 IMO.It is pricey but the picture is top of the class.

The 9704 is very good and battles it out with the Z1 for the best TV. The Panasonic was my choice between the two but I can see why some prefer the presentation of the 9704.
