Another thing to be aware of is the retailer's attitude towards pixel
failure.

You, the retailer and the manufacturer may all have different ideas about
what is acceptable and it's as well to find that out before rather than
after you buy (it might come as a shock what manufacturers find acceptable
on screens costing that sort of money!!)

That was my thoughts. Richer Sounds have a Tosh in stock but don't know
if their supercare would upgrade it? Or if I would return it to them?

Many thanks

A lot of the plasma boxes are designed for only shipping once. They seem
to
do a good job, we've not yet had any damaged in transit, however once
you've
opened them they're not designed to be re-used and it's critical that
they
remain vertical as well as protected.

Also shiping would also be a considerable cost.

I think I'd be inclined to pay a bit more and go for an on site
warranty.

I'm really worried about a RTB warranty? This is BIG heavy item to ship
back and forth?

Many thanks

I couldn't wait at all and hired a van, drove to Chiswick (Krish AV) and
picked up my 50" Panasonic (series5). They did it for #6500 which wasn't
the cheapest (#6250 I seem to remember) but was #1000 cheaper than most
dealers. Only downside is it's a RTB warranty.



Have you tried TVF in Gerards Cross? They seemed to have most models in
but they were quite expensive.



Paul.

Hey getting the wife to agree to a plasma was the easy bit!



Trying to buy one is like a lottery! Prices vary massively. Stocks are
hit and miss. Stories over when stock is arriving is like folk law!



I want a Panasonic TH37PW56B, can I find one, NO. When are they
available, who know varies from one supplier to another! Some say next
week others say their not even released until 1st December!



The only other possible is the Toshiba WP27 which is identical to the
Panasonic 42PW4B but just re-badged but there warranty is 2 years RTB,
which scares me a little.

Whats better?



1 year on-site warranty

2 year RTB warranty.



Yours impatient,



Rob Mouser



P.S. SWMBO sais it HAS TO BE SILVER!!!
