Pioneer Plasmas are indeed the best of the best but their prices are a complete joke.

IMO they are over-priced for what it is. In this day and age, it is hard to justify such high prices when your rivals can give very good and almost identical performance. I will pick Panasonic when it comes to plasma anytime.

 I'm sick of the whole TV thing TBH - I thought it'd be simple but of course it's anything but. I read loads of stuff about plasmas having image retention and loads that say it isn't anymore. I'd settled on the Sony KDL46W4500 but that apparently has clouding issues and John Lewis wouldn't price match it against Richer Sounds because the latter haven't had any stock - probably because Sony are now investigating the latest QC issue with regards to clouding and backlight bleed. Even the editor-in-chief of what HiFi is concerned because she just bought her dad one! Coincidentally, WHF named it as the product of the year! Another issue is the actual size we can fit in our living room. It's a difficult alcove as the vent from our gas fire exits along the wall. The 50" would be a real stretch. Two of my friends have banned me from talking about TVs to them and people on this thread have "backed away". I don't blame them either TBH  The Pioneer is very  though.I was looking at the Panasonic Vieras only yesterday and they were very impressive too - Martin Dawes near me is doing them with free satellite installation (for Freesat).

I know people who have got TVs through their companies, but I'd be the one who was investigated if I tried it

true. What you need to do is to decide on 1 model and that is it! Otherwise you'll still be trying to decide in 2 years time.

Or - to really put the cat among the pigeons - decide if you really need one at all given how long it's taking to decide.
