That is my problem i don't really understand what the differences are. I believe 1080 is the number of lines?

Sorry for being a Numpty.

The free 5 year guarantee is certainly worth having - I'm having a nightmare with Samsung regarding the total breakdown of a TV which is 19 months old

That screen has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels many (most) TVs have a lower resolution of 1366x768 or other. Everything else being equal a higher resolution is better but everything else is almost never equal.

32" is relatively small so unless you sit close to the TV (closer than 6'-7' certainly) then you get no benefit from the high resolution and you could in theory save money by getting a lower resolution one. Looking at the John Lewis site though that is the cheapest 32" TV they do, it won't be such a good quality as the lower resolution one at £100 more but it will still be a decent TV I would have thought.

Panasonic is a good brand and the TV is likely to be okay so if you fancy that one then go for it, it's a low risk especially with the JL guarantee.

Depending on your viewing distance the TX32LXD80 is likely to give an equivalent picture quality at a reduced price but JL don't seem to sell this one.

The TX32LZD80 is Which? magazine's number 1 top-rated TV.

They say "This is as good as flat-panel TVs get at present".

John Lewis is their number 1 top-rated online retailer and has been for several years.

Hi,
I found a review on the TV and a link where you can compare the prices of it as you can get it for £540 on Amazon.

Panasonic is a good brand for TV's but I would also recommend you the Sony Bravia KDL-32D3000. 32 inch, Widescreen, LCD, Sony Bravia Engine.

Its not a bad TV but John Lewis is a tad on the expensive side, personally with 600 quid i'd go for the Samsung LE32A656 which is a 32inch TV with some great reviews. pocket-lint.co.uk have scored it 9 out of 10.

Just forget your original, idea and get this badboy samsung plasma looks amazing it, admitidly i know SFA but it matches my mobile!

After seeing glowing reviews I've just got this one and well pleased with it You'll need to tweak the colour settings that come as standard which are a bit gaudy (AV forums have loads of posts). HD is superb and SD is far better than the Sony's. (imho)

Dixons £577 - £10 (using code FLAT10) + Delv

For that money I'd go for a 37" 1080p Toshiba like this one:

for £530
