Anyone With A Panasonic Plasma?

[Rob]

hi just wondering if anyone has a panasonic plasma i am looking at the pv600 or the pv60 ( might be the px60 in the UK)

any probs with it (retention etc) or fan noise??

I was looking at these today...to replace the screen that was pinched!

Quality looks 10/10....and they have some cracking reviews. Very good screen!

Yep they are very good screens, but Pioneers are better. I'd recommend checking them out side by side and the difference is noticeable (not sure about difference in cost tho)

I have not seen one yet, but have ordered the TH-42PX600CAB and the DMR-EX85 recorder, just hope they live up to expectations. The Pioneer was not really an option as there are no dealers locally should any repairs be required. Will let you know how I get on when they finally arrive, bearing in mind I only have a Sony 32 inch CRT TV to compare the picture and sound quality.

Next thing is to order a Sky HD box, has anyone got one? If so is it worth the extra money, or should I wait for more programmes to be broadcast in HD. Freeview is not yet available in my neck of the woods so it is just Sky for me.

been having a look on a lot of AV sites and esp on avforums.com and a lot of people have had pioneer screen burn and retention probs - yes they are cheaper with than panasonic but I would rather pay the extra and have peace of mind.

btw were both screens on the same settings etc?
