£500 for a tv
My parents have asked me to source them out the best 40/42" tv i can get for £500 there may be abit of flex in the budget but not much. They currently have a basic dvd and a tompson freeview twin tuner connected so a quality onboard tuner is very important, future wise i guess they could possibly have a freeview HD twin tuner and an upscaling dvd but nothing more. I was thinking about the TX-P42X20B but is there anything better about ?

Yes, he is already considering that.
Is there any other plasma's to consider?
Im just not that convinced with lcd to be honest.
The LG options I have given are plasmas. But I think, the Panasonic X20 may be better than them. Do a side by side comparison if you can.
And I would agree with Bigboss on this one ![]()

Think you've linked the wrong ones as all 3 sets are lcd mate
You are right (did not actually check the links...)
Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with UK suppliers, so you will have to search for yourself.
I still believe the Panasonic TX-P42X20 is the best optian with your budget.
Panasonic TX-P42X20 exactly, now you get it ![]()

You are right! I never knew 42-inch LCD TVs existed!! I thought they only made 40-inch ones!!!
LOL yeah i asked for that !

All of the below are full HD as opposed to HD ready of the Panasonic X20. Panasonic X20 is also very good.
