What Panasonic

[admin_exported]

Hi folks. Usual question that always asked to answer.

What 42 Panasonic is recommended? All round performer needed. Game, 3D and Internet connectivity. Watch lots of sports and movies.

The P42VT30 is 699 at Hyperfi with 2 glasses and dongle included.

Or the newer P42V10.

I need to get one in the next 7 days so any help would be super amazing.

Thanks

A

Cheers Sir, so you'd recommend it then. It says original price was 1600 on Play.com.

Hi, i don't quite understand your question as the P42V10 is two years older than the P42VT30, are you sure you have quoted the correct model number because you are looking at a model from 2009 that isn't 3D.

You know what you are correct. I assumed as it was so expensive on Play.com that it was 3D. Turns out reviews of that were from 2009. Glad I didn't go for that. Thanks for pointing out my stupid mistake.

Look at the GT30 & GT50 series' (depending on your budget) as well. They're giving the flagship VT50 a run for its money. Even ST30 & ST50 are brilliant & comparable to their VT siblings at a bargain price.

It's not a Panasonic, but this Sony is rated the best LCD TV ever made by Trusted Reviews, don't know if WHF have reviewed it yet. It ain't cheap though..

EDIT.. I see WHF rate the 55inch version very highly. I know, it's not a Panasonic, just thought i'd mention it anyway seeing as TR were so impressed..

We've just tested the Panasonic TX-P42GT50, the replacement for last year's Award winner, in the June issue of the magazine (on sale now). It's a sensational all-rounder, although being a new model, you probably won't find many discounts on it right now.

Cheers Andy, will get the magazine today to check it out. Always find it a bit weird when you answer as my name is Andy Clough too. Bizarre. What would your recommended stockist be, just out of interest?

Good review. Nailed on trying to hunt out this tv now. Cheers.

The P42VT30 is a great telly - just bought one from Sevenoaks at 799 with five year warranty. The one quoted by hyperfi is a manufacturers re-furb model with one year warranty.

Got it home on Saturday and set up just in time to watch Liverpool lose the FA Cup - Grrr!

Coincidence indeed! As this is a brand-new model, most reputable retailers should stock it. You may not get much of a discount, but worth trying to get a free five-year warranty or free 3D glasses if you can. Always helps. John Lewis has a couple of offers on it: clickety.
