TV dead

Anonymous · 29 May 2007

Well, much as I don't like using the off-topic forum, I have a question

Our trusty old CRT TV died over the weekend after 10 years of faithful service and I am thinking of getting this

The package includes this DHMI DVD recorder

and this stand (with black glass though

Total p[rice is £699 in our local Currys. Anybody have experience/opinions?

PS sorry, the forum software won't allow me to shorten these links in the normal way

Hi Tony,

We've got a Panasonic Viera TH42PX60B (an older model) and IMHO it's a fantastic telly... Great quality with loads of connections...

£699 for the TV, stand and recorder sounds like a good price to me. Although search for it on Froogle and Kelkoo as we found a better deal online and managed to get our TV and stand cheaper then in Currys...

I've just done a quick google and found the following review on the TV you're looking at;

If they have it in stock which your local john lewis may have also possible that your local store may have some cheaper due to a local pricematch. 5 year guarantee and top customer service. If you find one in store cheaper elsewhere they'll pricematch. www.avforums.co.uk go to forums then lcd forum, to find the most popular choices but the new Panasonics are nice.

Thanks all

I went for the deal in the end and so far we are all blown away with the picture quality - but then I rarely watch TV and so am easily impressed :wink:
