Re: What to do with my Panasonic vt20

Well i had the same thing when i bought a 42 inch panasonic plasma, but after a week i moved it to my bedroom cause it became to small ha..so i think you get used to it and for movies how bigger the better.

Re: What to do with my Panasonic vt20

Hi,

Plug everything in, get the beers/popcorn/munchies in and enjoy your favourite film.

Once you've seen it in action you'll wonder what you were thinking contemplating NOT using it!!

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.

PS If all else fails I'll swap you my 42" lol.

Re: What to do with my Panasonic vt20

Hi,

Where'd you get it?

If you've broken the seal on the carton they'll think you've plugged it in anyway?

I'm sure most retailers would exchange it for something else - there may be a 're-stocking fee' though.

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.

Re: What to do with my Panasonic vt20

id be surprised if that was the case , whats the point of having a 7 day or whatever return policy if you cant actually watch the tv ? how are you supposed to know if you like it or not ?

Just tery it on HD images you will not even be bothered by the size, i sometimes think the 42 inch has become to small, and i watch from just 3 mtrs.

Hi


 I recently read the what hi fi ultimate guide book and i am pretty sure they said 2m for a 50inch was about perfect.


As regard to not opening the box, just make sure you damage nothing what so ever and you should be fine.

Re: What to do with my Panasonic vt20

I sit 3m away from an 83in projector screenSurprise

If you love movies, as your username - and investment in a seriously high-end TV  - suggests, just make sure you feed your big-screen beauty with a quality HD feed and you'll be enjoying an immersive film experience.  Yes

Just don't expect SD TV - especially the lower-on-the-planner digital nonsense - to look good...
