Hi, i've just treated myself to a ps3 and are now looking to upgrade my current Panasonic TX32PS5 CRT with a new set that I can appreciate the full Blueray DVD and gaming.  I have a fairly limited budget and are looking for a larger screen than my current.  Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

You don't mention what size you want - if you're not sure, how far do you sit from the screen? From what I've read, the Panasonic TH42PX80 is a good set for that money - don't think there've been any official reviews yet but a lot of forum members have liked it.

I've been searching Google for prices for the Panasonic TH42PX80 and have found this site http://www.digitaldirect.co.uk/products_moreinfo3/index.asp?product_id=15376&referredby=Google-Adwords&gclid=CKDvwdfhqJICFQGX1AodRi-_RA but they call it a TH42PX80-B does anyone know what the B is?

Re: "700-"800 upgrade solution, advice needed

Well, don't take this as gospel, but I've read that the B stands for British, whereas the the rest of Europe has a TH-42PX80E version i.e. they're the same TV other than the differences required for UK and rest of Europe like power etc. Can anyone else confirm?
