3D TV? Never.

Just another gimmick with LOW quality images, nullifying most of your 1080 pixels.

Get a top of the range LED, they have contrast ratios as good as plasmas now and will have good scan rates, also low running costs to boot.

Panasonic are far superior to the LG & Samsung sets, my company sells all three.

I have a 50" 3D Panasonic on my wall at home and its awesome, we don't use the 3D all that often but its good to have...

Another alternative is to buy a refurbished one. Refurbished sets are really good value for money, every week Panasonic release refurb and box damaged lists to dealers (customer returns, etc) same guarantees but much better prices! I tend to buy these as and when and then sell them on ebay...

tomp what dealers are we talking like currys comet ect cheers for the info

No you wouldn't get a refurb through the any of the multiples like Curry's, Comet, etv, just through Independents like us.

We are actually a Panasonic Service Centre as well so we do all of the above's under warranty repairs in our area.

If your not a mad hurry to get one then I can get you a price on a refurb 3D set in about the 50" size, when there is next one on the lists....

Plamsa for PQ 

3d probs not worth it the now. Its worth checking hotdeals to see whats been posted recently.

Richer Sounds do some good prices during the summer on TV's worth checking out there site. I would stay away from LG tv's (plasmas anyways) - they have some design flaws.

Hanspree is a very good upcoming make from the US. Cheap tv without the comprise on PQ. Bought a 42" LCD Full HD for th bedroom last month from ebuyer for £300. Very impressed with the design, build and quality. That was from ebuyer.

Check out AV forums to see what is being recommened. TBH, you should need to spend anymore than £600 for a good 50" set

Would love to know how you can say Panasonics Top of the Range is better than Samsungs? Being an ex Engineer for Samsung im not saying Panasonic are bad that would be stupid but Samsungs top of the range LED displays are Incredible for the price!

Also bare in mind when buying an expensive Tv a warranty is good for example if you go to john lewis the will price match against comet or curries and you get there 5 yr warranty which is worth its weight in gold as john lewis customer service is next to none unlike comet or curries who are shocking!

In reality it comes down to personal preference.  I spent ages looking at half a dozen or so top brands before picking my Samsung.  Panasonic and Sony weren't as crisp or sharp as the visuals the Samsung can provide.  The only other brand I would have realistically considered is LG, some of their newer units are excellent.

tomp what area are u in m8 that would be great if ur not a million miles away

when i was in currys the other day the bloke in there was saying panasonic are one of the best tvs as they made pioneers tvs for them how true i dont know but he seemed to know what he was talking about
