Panasonic TXP46G20B 46 Inch Full HD Plasma Tv Is It Good ?
Been looking around for a bigger, new Tv for the bedroom with built in Freesat HD, and came across this one, so anyone know much about them, as always fancied trying the Panasonics.
Thanks. |

As always with Pana it will be good but ask yourself how much use has it had over the last 3 - 4 years and why are they selling it ? Where has it been for all this time ?
Is there a guarantee with it ? |

Its still available at Argos (according to their website, and for only a home delivery), will be replacing a Sony 32" KDL 32v5810. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/4980755.htm I realise its a couple of years old now, but it seems a decent set. Quote:

That's incredible that Argos are selling this , I thought you had found a 2nd hand ebay special .
Cant think Argos have had them in stock all this time , it must be "graded / repaired " product direct from Pana . That said if you want Freesat as opposed to freeview HD then this may be your last chance and it should do you well . Going to be a lot better than that Sony ! |

![]() Theres also the Samsungs (like the UE40ES6710 Full HD 40" LED 3D TV), but they've all got that Smart Tv/3D rubbish, which im not interested in. I know Samsungs are ok, as just bought one of those today for the living room, the UE40EH5000, 40" with Freeview HD. |

Just a further thought on this , Generally the models with the "smart & streaming " capibilitys have much better screens and screen driver circuits as well as much better connectivity . The dummed down models can seem good value until you look a bit deeper .
Your old model Pana v modern Samsung will consume much more current but may be easier on the eye to view - you pays your money and all that ! |

The TXP46G20B is pricey at £700, but you get what you pay for. I'd have that set in a instant.

Does seem a bit pricey for a Tv thats a good few years old when you think about it, ive also been looking at the Samsung UE40ES6710, but why do they all have to have be Smart Tv's/ 3D, as im not interested in any of that, i just want it to watch Tv, long as its got a good picture, sound

I was looking at the G20, but it appears that Panasonic dropped support for it as it only receives BBC iplayer from freesat's on demand channels - I may be wrong, so opted for Samsung.
If its just for channels, then why not get a Humax box and a 'standard' TV. Would be a lot cheaper, but the downside would be that you would have a box for freesat rather than it being intergrated into the TV. Sony & LG freesat TVs may be a bargin buy, as both manufacturers appear to have stopped manufacturing. |

I was thinking about just getting a Tv without the Freesat HD built in, then getting that as a seperate box, will have a good look and do some pricing.
EDIT: I do like the look of the Sammy though, and its had a decent review here :- http://www.digitalversus.com/tv-tele...3749/test.html |

It won't be a bad tv, but seems expensive for its age, later samsungs will be as good if not better.
Last year argos were selling a tv for £300 more than I'd bought one for a year earlier. |

Just picked up the Samsung UE40ES6710 Full HD 40" LED 3D TV, and its an absolute beauty, HD looks stunning on it, and SD doesn't look to bad either, looks a tad better than it did on my old Sony, very pleased
![]() Will probably have a good play about with it later on when ive got more time

Good choice - you will enjoy it even if it has all the features you did not want LOL

Gave the 3D a go, looks great, and works well, only thing is, you can see the frame of the glasses outise the corner of your eyes when watching, but i suppose once used to that, wont notice
