Yeah RS do some decent warranties mate, just a bit more for 5 years warranty.  Plus they price match.

Panasonic 50VT30, this is what I have at home....

"Overall, we just couldn't fault the 3D experience on the VT30..."

To be honest bud most led and plasmas sound are not the greatest i can say my tv isnt great on its speakers but with a home cinema or av setup who cares and 99.9% of people buying an expensive tv or decent tv willopt for some kind of home cinema kit as they are simply ace! it completes the experience

I can second that with sound, I don't think I have ever turned the volume up on my TV! I have a Denon 7.1 surround amp and panasonic speaker setup, we bought a derelict cottage a couple of years back and I plastered all the cables into the walls
