I am considering buying this 42" Full HD Plasma tv, can someone advise please

Blackpool_Saver

This seems like a good deal, the only difference between this and next model upwards is this is 400 hertz and that one is 600 hertz, what is that please and is this TV a good deal, being plasma and full HD it should be crystal clear shouldn't it?

Thanks for looking

Plasma's are a lot cheaper than LCDS, i bought a 42" LCD FULL HD Samsung thingy and that was £550 5 months ago.. IMO 100Hz is more than enouh

I have had a 42" Plasma HD Panasonic for about 15 months now - absolutely brilliant TV!

The things to remember when buying a "large" HD TV.
1. When watching HD sit a lot closer to the screen, about 1.5 times the screen size.You will find a lot of rubbish bandied about on this subject !

2. When watching SD you may find the picture quality is not as good as your old crt TV if you were sitting fairly close to it. If you have the room, sit well back.
3. I would suggest looking around and finding someone who does a 5 yr warranty on their TVs. I went to John Lewis; their staff are also very "switched on" and helpful.
Argos will give no advice; D***n, C***y, C***t, give bad advice - they have "deals" with certain manufacturers and will heavily push their products.
4. Don't forget that you will need extra equipment (and money !) to receive HD !
