Hey APoL, now your identity is out as someone who works at Currys, any chance of extending some staff discount, to deserving individuals such as myself?

Although we both know that won't happen, don't we?
I'm was probably just reading too much into your post and just read it with a smug tone. Having a rather bad day so just ignore me

I don't think a 46" will make much difference TBH and then it would preclude plasma as Pioneer only do the 50" and 60" models now. The former point is borne out by the poster I received at Sound and Vision (have you ever been there?) which shows the size of the various models - you can fold the poster up along printed lines to "illustrate" the sreen size.

It's actually a lot sadder than that mate. I used to date a girl who worked for Pioneer.

As a sidenote, I can get you 10% off any price you've negotiated with Currys/Comet/PC world though. lol.

It's ok matey, I don't post with any kind of attitude (unless it's been levelled at me in the first place) and I'm also more than aware of the complete lack of trust towards me in here. The above posts is one of the fundamental flaws of a text based system, but as long as the original meaning is clarified then no harm is done.

FWIW, I don't bear grudges as I've always found them to be counter-productive.

Nothing sad about that. A computer-literate guy managing to date any female has always got to be a good thing

I actually thought the 46 was a plasma. Whoa.
Had a demo on saturday, and was impressed, but as it must be another plasma I'll have to checkout the newer 50". I can't really comment on the gaming debate as I only game on my bog standard PC monitor, and not a mahoosive tv.

Even a moment of anger is always wasted - the chances are that the target or reason for your anger is blissfully unware and unconcerned by any problem you may or may not have with them.

I can't remember the saying exactly but it was along the lines of, "Anger is a gift that many seem willing to give but all hate to receive".

It might be the Panasonic Viera - they do 42", 46" and 50" models and pretty good they are too!
