Which is Better?

[admin_exported]

I am upgrading my TV to flatscreen and wondered which was better. I was thinking of getting a 32" either a Sony KDL32D3000 or Panasonic TX-32LXD700, but now i've read good reviews about the Panasonic TH37PX70.

I would like good SD as well as HD and will watch movies and sport and I plan to upgrade to Sky HD at the same time as getting this.

My max budget is £1000, but preferably lower.

Thanks for any help

Hi Ian

If it was my money,i'd go for either of the Panas - both great in HD and SD.

I've just found the Panasonic TX-32LXD700 ( of which there is a full test in our current, August issue) for under £800 at www.dabs.com (reputable online retailer).

Oddly enough, we test the 37in Panasonic in the same issue. Another belter, and - unbelievably - avaialble at Dixons online for £720 (though also unsurprisingly they're out of stock at the moment).

The 32incher has the slight edge on specs - three HDMIs instead of two, for example, which could be handy for you with Sky HD plus a DVD player and possibly another HD source (such as a games console). However, the 37in is - obviously! - more picture for your money, and as it's a plasma is slightly better with blacks.

Reading the full tests and seeing the sets in the flesh should sort out what's best. Happy shopping!

Hi Clare

Is this the issue which is out on August 23rd as I am really interested in this TV?

Which upscaling DVD Player would you recommend to go with it?

Thanks!
