For surround I wouldn't look at Pana, but for screens they have always been up there, from CRT right through to todays LCD and PDP. The next generation of SED displays will see another quantum leap. For the audio bit you have to put Denon, Pioneer and Yamaha well ahead of Tosh in the respective sector.

The 37" doesnt get as good a review as the 32" (Which I have)
The Sony 40" LCD is as good as it gets right now , but like all LCD/Plasma's needs a good quality signal , but you all ready know that

Ikea, the Wika range

Gonna be making a veneered surround to conceal the wires and some LED's with integral shelves when I get a few more minutes to spare

Currys are now doing the 37WLT66 with FREE delivery for ......

£782:10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10% OFF Voucher Used)

It's almost worth it

This will probably be £499 in the January sales??

Those who paid silly money earlier in the year must be feeling awfully sick just about now?

I was about 2 years ahead of the property market crash, it is about to happen this spring as all the Buy-To-Lets offload.

Giving 2 years notice let everyone get out and get ready to buy back in

The LCD TV situation is simple ..... Plasmas are subject to a high scrap rate and therefore set the price for 37" and above TVs at £1000+

The LCD scrap rate is tiny in comparison - but, the manufactureres have held the price at what the public are prepared to pay (well, the gullible, that is) - now that they ahve been satisfied they need to target the likes of me .... who, lets face it, are a LOT smarter than your average kiddie on here!!

To gain sales now they have to drop the price heavily - this they can do because LCDs are VERY cheap to make .......................

The 37" HD LCD TV for <£500 is but a month or two away!
