720p plasma will most likely be 1024x768 with rectangular pixels (LCD being 1366x768 with square pixels)

Yup. It's a real hate of mine - there are set HD resolutions and the only TV's that actually stick to any of those resolutions are the FullHD sets.

854x480
1280x720
1920x1080

Anything other than those 3 is an abomination unto Nuggan! It really pisses me off to be fair.

The *cough* 'HDReady' Plasma's are 1024x768 - which is great for a PC display apart from the rectangular pixels but at least it's a real resolution. 1366x768 is just a pain in the arse.

The parents' Plasma is 1024x1024, but it's absolutely sensational for colours with HD content.

I would always go plasma.

Okay, so the cheapest I can find the PZ80 for with 5 year warranty is at richersounds for £802

Between the 2nd and 15th of feb CostCo have the 46" PZ80 screen for £770inc VAT with 5 year warranty.

I think I'm gonna bottle it and get a cheaper screen that's more suitable for me at the moment. bah!

I'd rather pay the extra £32 quid for getting it at a shop with a good reputation for CS over an online retailer, if it was the cost alone. Up to you about the suitability of the screen though

SidewinderINC · 28-01-2009, 00:13

Costco isn't an online retailer.

And sorry, the price at Richersounds is for the 42" model.

42" = £802 w/ 5 year warranty
46" = £770 w/ 5 year warranty.
