Well I got the 37" toshiba (37XV555DB). It was either that or the 32" Panasonic Veira. They are both regarded very well with regards to colour calibration. I was orgiinally only going to get a 32" as it won't be the main TV, however the difference between the 32" and 37" was buttons

I think that for most people the 37" screens are perfect. There is also nothing in the price as you spotted.

I would have gone for the Panasonic myself, but thats just my bias there. Never had a bit of Panasonic kit fail. Sony on the other hand.... Will never buy another piece of Sony kit.

That's odd. All the Sony stuff I've bought has been utterly reliable. The reason it's taken so long for me to get a new TV is because my old Sony 32" widescreen, pre-Wega, is still going strong and a perfect picture.

Hmmm earlier today at a UK 'trusted electrical specialist' that boasts they 'live electricals', it was overheard by 'someone' that this is the accompaniment to Sony's desires to push pre-xmas sales. With alot of people witholding purchases before xmas and waiting for the 'January sales', electrical manufacturers are pushing sales though marketing that will not only increase December sales but also shine praise-filled-light upon them when they decide to 'retain low prices' come 2009

Been checking 1080's out myself, What does 700 quid get you ?
My thinking is if I have to spend 300 quid on a washing machine then spending 700 quid on a 1080 will make me feel ok about it

The Samsung looked good to me but I know Nowt

Will be used for 360 & Virgin & DVD.
