Which TV should I buy?

[admin_exported]

Hi,

I'm looking to take the plunge and and go Plasma/LCD but not sure which telly to buy. As a family the TV will be used for watching movies, general TV and playing PS3 and the Wii on. I'm looking for a TV of about 40".

I'm very keen on the Pioneer PDP-4280XD and Sony's KDL 40W4000 but I'm unsure which would be the best for me? Or are there any others better about to appear on our shelves?

Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks Gary Sims

Either one of the 2 sets above would be an excellent choice. Personally, I would go for the Pioneer over the Sony. I think it's worth taking the plunge now as new sets appear all the time and you can wait and wait and wait... New Sony X series on the way but that would also cost more.

the panasonic th42px80b is only £639 at Currys & Comet at the mo - about £200 less than the Sony kdl40w4000, and to my eye seems to be a similar picture quality. I know the WHF team did a test between the panny 37px80b and the sony 40w4000, and narrowly said the sony had teh edge but that the extra 3 inches really helped. So I'd guess the th42px80b may even trump the 40w4000 in a test as size matters! Personal choice at the end of the day (as everyone says!) but I've been facing similar decision, and finally decided on the 42px80b from panansonic rather than fork out the extra for the sony 40w4000. I did look at the cheaper sony kdl40v4000, but didn't think it looked as good for SD pictures as the panny on the more expensive sony 40w4000

hope that helps!

sorry i forgot to mention i was also looking at the pz80b not the px, im stuck between the panasonic or sony. Swampydrill i belive the pz series is new set of series, and the 80 model is the at the bottom of the range but has everything on it including 1080p 100hz 24fp.
