Hmm...Doesn't John Lewis do a 'Price Match' deal? It would be the best of all worlds if they did Opti :)

Good job its a superior plasma panel

Fixed that there for you.

Made it incorrect you mean, plasma is an inferior technology and the contrast story is a load of bull for real world viewing.
Depends what you watch (or it did), my 1.5yr old Panny plasma outperformed the LCD's around it hands down when watching fast moving action. I suspect that LCD has caught up now but I bet Plasmas still haven't killed off the screen burn which was their biggest negative point.

To the OP, try to check out both from different angles looking for reflection, I remember when I bought mine that the higher models had an anti-glare screen coating, it makes a significant difference.

Odd. Aren't Dixons also on the high street? Sounds like an online  price of a high street competitor to me.

Having said that, I wouldn't fancy entrusting anything to Dixons after-sales support so you made the right choice. :-X

Dixons rebranded all their high st shops to Currys, I think that brand only exists online and in airports now.

Bah, rubbish, plasma is far superior in "picture quality" IMO. I don't care about superior switching speeds and 50 gazillion to 1 contrast ratios or what ever the details are, the picture with LCD is, to my eyes, rubbish, not one of the top end lcd's looked right in the bigger sizes.....maybe my eyes only work with plasma perhaps?  ;)
And afaict the new 3d tv's seem to be going with plasma koz LCD can't cope.  :P. (I haven't looked into that much tbh :-X)
Anyway 42 inch plasma in the bedroom, 50 inch plasma in the lounge.  :y
