As it says on the tin - What one is better?

The Panasonic is a 37' and its more expensive.

The Sony is bigger, and cheaper, and looks to have better spec?

Is it a no-brainer? Opinions please?

Thanks!

Little to choose I would have thought?, as a Sony dealer I would recommend the Sony, but Panasonic are a top make as well.

You really need to go to a dealer and see them side by side, on both SD and HD.

I need to order it tomorrow online so I can't
I really like the Panasonic but the Sony appears to have better spec... I only care about HD quality and online gaming really!

Go for the Sony then, it's larger, it's cheaper, and it's from the top rated manufacturer, not the very slightly behind, second place Panasonic.

If I go for the Sony, what's the best Surround Sound system for it?

What TV you've got doesn't affect the surround sound system at all.

Ok, so - what Surround Sound system should I get then lol

I just bought the Sony TV btw.

I'm not the person to ask, I don't have one, don't want one, and even turned down a free one I could have 'fiddled' for myself
