I'm close to tearing my hair out over this!! I cant decide on what to get, I've looked at the sony w5500 in both sizes, the Samsung b530 and b630 and the Panasonic g10, g15 and v10 but i just dont know what to buy!!


Please can anyone make any suggestions on the above or any other different models?


 Thanks!

With that budget no contest the Panasonic 42g10, it takes a top end lcd to compete with it, more natural less motion blur and 100,000hrs of running time.

I picked up a Philips 42PFL7404 for £615 just before the VAT went up which i think was great value.  I know its a touch bigger but the frame round the edge of thr screen is thin.  I'm very chuffed with it......

Marks and Spencers of all places!  Whether they made a boo boo at the time with the pricing i don't know but it found it via a link on another "AV" forum.  Click the link now though ind its £849 with them....  It was a very good price!
