                whatever size you choose, always go for a high contrast ratio such as 15000 to 1 eg....

                    That's interesting. I was plumping for the Panasonic TH42PZ80 but that looks like a good price for a TV like that

                      Reading loads of reviews etc,
                      I don't think you can go far wrong with Sony or Panasonic. I personally have a 42" Panasonic and am absolutely delighted with it. The picture is just stunning!
                      As for the size, you will be surprised how quickly you get used to it. There is an article somewhere which explains the principle behind the LCD/plasma screens and optimum distances for sitting and watching. Good luck.

                        If only you could see the good old proverbial credit crunch coming round the corner,bought my panasonic 42" plasma last year,probably could have saved a bit if I bought it now
                        But at the end of the day its still an awesome bit of kit

                              I went for a sony last year to go with my playstation ( keeping it inhouse)

                              But my mate who runs a telly monitor digital repair type place. say at the moment samsung are kinda running away with the quality of the picture etc.. and open allmost any telly and they all have the same sort of internals anyway..
                              remember to you need a hd picture to go with the telly
                              ( and i must say a blueray ps3 picture on sony is well disturbing i mean as if Jessica Alba really has spots.)
