Reckon the later Top End Panny Plasma's are really Pioneer Kuro's :party:

Nope.......but very close. When Pioneer closed it's doors, Panasonic employed the best 10 people of the team and licensed some of Pioneers patents. 2012 was the first year that this team of people had overall control over the Viera range and that coincides with really good Plasmas from them. The Panasonic ZT60 has been compared directly against the Pioneer at an event organised by Richer Sounds and HDTV Test and the ZT was better plus it is 3D, Smart, Bigger and Thinner.
Panasonic will be at the CES show in January and will probably show off there new TV range and there will be NO Plasma's so if you want a Plasma grab one while you still can.

"That's interesting, I didn't realise people rented TV's etc anymore - when I was growing up in the '70's and '80's everyone rented their TV's but when Sky came along in the late '80's(?) that all seemed to change and people bought their TV's. Pray tell us more about that - costs etc…"

YEP, I know. I have a 50" VT65 as already stated, and I pay £40 a month x 17 = £680. The TV costs £1900, if I then sold it after a couple on years I would struggle to get £500 so it would of cost me £1400......instead, by renting only £680, or half the loss.

I like the Panasonic 47" LED  model number is txl-47wt50 I think, so much so we bought another for the other room but a 42" same model just a little smaller, My brother has a Samsung and that also looks brilliant, I don't think you can go wrong with either tbh

about a year and a half ago i picked up a 50" 3D LG TV from richersounds for £500 with 5 year warrenty and they where top guys, if i were you id skip the smart tv as you will get alot more tv for the money if you dont bother with the smart feature, ive bought a Raspbery PI ( mini computer not much bigger than a tobbaco tin ) its powered from the TVs usb port, then plugs direct to the HDMI plug. my TV is wall mounted so ive just stuck it to the back of the tv. i use it for streaming films from usb/the web as you are not restricted to netflix etc like im guesing a smart tv would be? but if you wanted to you could use it for games etc and the raspberry pi only costs about £40 all in with mini keyboard etc.

if want any more info drop me an inbox. cheers

^^^^ I'll ask my wifey for one of those as a stocking filler. Might be over budget though!  :laugh:

I have last years panny plasma gt50 and it is amazing. Bought it in January from the Panasonic store in their sale with free 6year Panasonic warranty and 2 free pairs of 3d glasses.

So wait till the new year and have a look about.

Well that's it for me, no more glasses if I buy one of those bad boys - that's a real find bet they don't keep stock on the shelf ha ha.
