I'm holding off on buying an LCD and DVD Recorder until all this HD crap is sorted out. :rotfl:

If you techies don't mind me asking - how does it compare with this Hitachi from Richer Sounds: http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=HITA-42PD6A10

It's due to be £699.99 on Boxing Day - I notice it says resolution is 1024 x 1024, does that mean it's better than the Panasonics?

Have a look here -> http://www.trustedreviews.com/tvs/review/2006/05/11/Hitachi-42PD6600-42in-Plasma-TV/p1
It uses Alis to achieve the 1024x1024 res although this not "progressive" in a true sense of the word (it only supports 1080i). Also look at the contrast ratio, this screen has a 3000:1, the panny has a 10000:1, on Plasmas the contrast ratios are very important. So in a word, no, it's not "better" than the panasonic.

It's sorted already, looking at 37+ inches, get a Plasma..anything under that, go for LCD
